I found a friend in a dog 'Cause fuckin' with these cats will send a friend to the morgue Many questions, no answers, just stress Try to hold my head and remember that I'm blessed With the curse and it gets worse as time goes by Can't see straight 'cause I'm so high Why ask why when you know? Nigga, when it's your time to go, you go Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate Y'all been eating long enough now, stop being greedy Just keep it real, partner, give to the needy Ribs is touching, so don't make me wait Fuck around, and I'm gon' bite you and snatch the plate
