Then some punk tried to hit me with a broom Lucky I ducked quick or else I'd be assed up Last thing I wanted was have to pull the gat out Here comes a nigga And he's got a .38 Well my roundhouse said Hey yo I'm shootin' up straight Once I put away the shotgun Borrow me a Glock Took a little trip to the funky weed spot Tried to jack me but homie got shot La-la-la-lalala-la!
