I probably should be technical [Wait a minute] First up, turn the music up another decibel Loud enough to have your brain dead as a vegetable Neighbor's ain't complaining then your volume's not acceptable I'm what they like to call criminally ethical Whole lot of hood inside a young intellectual Dope game rhymes, the same time poetical Critics pretty skeptical, they think I'll make a spectacle They don't understand that I'm grown and a professional [c'mon] Don't get me wrong, we can make it a festival And I'll bring the fireworks, you bring the edibles [huh?] Boy please, I'll bounce out and be undetectable [supid] Show you that this fold out mini really is flexible Damage is irreparable, and I don't want no pedastle They can't leave me alone cause I'm incredible [uh huh] And me and money are inseparable [uh huh] And if you find a guy like me then keep him, he a collectable [yeah] One of my girls said "You don't treat me right.
