Say it short like this, fellas, short... "Hey"
Ah, you can feel it in your throat, ha
I'm 'bout to let my mind float, ha
Get your third eye poked, ha
Fuck game, I assemble dope, ha
Ness, a nigga that's fresh as the 'fess
Studied this rap shit, no need to mic test
Feel it in your chest, ha
Your B.I., she can feel it in her breasts
Blass you, rhyme like a nigga with his nipples pierced
Lick off lyrics in the streets, real niggas hear us
Dreaming when I wrote this, box me if I go too wild
Still doing sh- like dude in wild style
Inviting white brothers to dinner
I trick daddy MCs and I don't know "Nann Nigga"
Who can take it where I take it
You better go into God like Mase did
Leaving crowds complacent
I move 'em above clouds whether on some surface, some shit
Or thug style, feel it in your body
Yeah, y'all, feel it in your body
Everybody in the party, watcha say y'all? Hey!
Watcha say y'all? (Hey)
I can't hear y'all (hey)
We'll keep it live y'all (hey)
Over here say... (hey)
Over there say... (hey)

All the ladies say, "Hey"
All the ladies say, "Hey"
All the fellas say, "Hey"
Uh, all the fellas say, "Hey"
Whoo, all the ladies say, "Hey"

All the fellas say... (hey)
Uh, all the fellas say, "Hey"
