Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh
Hey, I'm callin' from California, gotta bone ya
A nigga might pull up on ya, then a corner
With that sidewalk diploma
This persona is hotter than Arizona
This ain't the rise of the phoenix, it's the rise of the penis
Bitches smile when they see us
Niggas always try to be us, Ice Cube is a genius
Try to beat us, curl you up like a fetus
Cedars, had to remove my Adidas
Tried to kick a motherfuckin' hole in the speakers
Tried to break it off, well yo' ass can't shake it off
I'ma spit game that make her ass take it off
Guess what? We are just laid in the cut
Lookin' at yo' ass like you sus (suspect)
Askin' is he them or is he us?
Guess what? Guess what?
We are just laid in the cut (in the cut)
Lookin' at yo' ass like you sus (uh-huh)
Askin' is he them or is he us?
Guess what?
Don't think I'm built like that? You get killed like that
We don't want yo' mama to feel like that
'Cause we knew him like that, have motherfuckers cryin'
"Why they do him like that?" He violated how I laid it
Called me outdated
Then he threw a sucker punch, nigga, I ate it
Just like a fuckin' lunch, and it tasted kinda like Captain Crunch
Then I heard they had to smoke him like a pack of blunts
I don't know, I'm somewhere in some swimmin' trunks
Been off the country for many, many, many months
My alibi is like a lullaby
Got niggas thinkin' that I'm soft as a butterfly
Bitch, I talk softly with a big stick
Crazy like Bushwick, I'm with the bullshit
Hit him with the full clip, money for the pulpit
Dummy was a kill switch, nigga, I don't feel shit
Guess what? We are just laid in the cut (in the cut)
Lookin' at yo' ass like you sus
Askin' is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)
Guess what? Guess what?
We are just laid in the cut (you know)
Lookin' at yo' ass like you sus (you sus)
Askin' is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)
Guess what? Guess what?
We been peepin' out how you movin'
The shark tank, without that nigga Mark Cuban
Here come the killer whale servin' Ls
Swimmin' with you seals, I'm playin' with my meals
Just to hear you squeal, grab him by the gills
Drown his ass 'cause you know that shit give me the chills
You know my pedigree, I hate disloyalty
Bring his head to me, nigga, like I'm royalty
Guess what? We are just laid in the cut (in the cut)
Lookin' at yo' ass like you sus (like you sus)
Askin' is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)
Guess what? (Guess what?) Guess what?
We are just laid in the cut (in the cut)
Lookin' at yo' ass like you sus (suspect)
Askin' is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)
Guess what? (Guess what?) Guess what?
Gue-gue-gue-gue-gue-gue, guess what? Guess what?
Gue-gue-gue-gue, guess what? Guess what?
Guess, guess, guess what?
Gue-guess-guess-guess, guess what?
Gue-guess what? Guess what?
