Lyrics
English: Turn this bitch into Virginia Tech, ayy / Got the chopper just to make 'em wet, ayy / Dynamite around my vest, ayy / We them G*59 terrorists, ayy, ayy / Keep throwin' threats, and I'll keep yawning / Light my cigarette, you just keep on talking / Watch where you tread, please watch where you walking / I'm from Vietnam, better known as New Orleans / The smell of death is so, so familiar
