Lyrics
English: Yeah, I'ma let the shotty blow / His head go a different direction to where his body go / A fraction of a second is the time it takes his mind to go / Either way his body going down like he Bohannon / We bare arms like a designer show / I feed the raw and always keep a 4 on me like honour roll / How you talking money when you never see no kinda dough / Broke mafuckas, ass out like Rihanna though / You hearin screams and they say they shot / I got nines and a sack like I'm JJ Watt / They think they nice but fans gon' say they not / It's like a bomb Vietnam, when that AK pop / I don't be in y'all little cities it's no action / This Wilson Combat go through you like Bo Jackson / See we all gorillas here strapped with all the blammers now / I pass em off after I use them like they a hand-me-down
