English: Overblown, got'n'gone, the song zone, at the zone shown / Time and time again it's on, Vietnam again / Napalm set-trip, coast-trip, post and get / Tripped on, blastin fuckin chippin niggaz out the fuckin dash / What the fuck is this? Niggaz is the luckiest / Strike and spray, e'ryday all day around the way / I lost my homeboy last year, nigga shed his last tear / Comin through to blast shit, I knew I'd catch his ass crip
