Lyrics
English: Good Morning Vietnam! / Yeah, good morning to all you motherfuckin' knotty-headed niggas / Word to the camouflage large niggas / Bitch, where the fuck is my bottle? / Bring that fuckin' meth in here, man!... / Raw sound, going to war right now / So, yo, bombing, We usually take all niggas garments / Save your breath before I vomit / I be that insane nigga from the psycho ward / I'm on the trigger plus I got the Wu-Tang sword / So how you figure that you can even fuck with mine?
