Where Turkey went? Old videos show n***as that was murdered since Another reason to get further bent Put your gla** high if you made it out the stash spot And here to tell your story and celebrate the glory Drinks in the air for my n***as not here This for the fallen soldiers Hold it down, I told you Pop another bottle and keep the smoke rolling
