I'm about to slide through, ride through
And don't give a fuck what's in my rearview
Ain't about to tell you what I been through
All I wanna know is what you into
What we gettin' into?
Yeah, we fin' to make this continue
So what's on the menu?
Got love everywhere that we went to
Gettin' chased by the aunties
She still actin' like a dime piece
She still actin' like the '90s
Didn't have to remind me
See, I used to be grimy, now I'm so polished
Didn't go to college, still got the knowledge
Still got the wallet to make that deposit
Get your bitch ass back in the closet
West Coast flow like a faucet
Nigga drop game like I lost it
This ain't for you, this is bullshit
I'm on La Brea by the carpet
Dinosaur mash on the gas
Real players got to brush off the ash
Why the real ones don't last?
Why the real ones gotta pass?
Missin' you every day
Repeat all the shit that you used to say
Ran across your picture in my iPhone (iPhone)
Boy, you was wild as a cyclone (cyclone)
Kinda like me with the mic on (mic on)
Grab the shit tight like a python (python)
Spit that ism, and if they really listen
You know this ism'll keep them out of prison
You know this ism'll keep you on a mission
Time to start livin' and stop wishin'
The sky is purple and pink
And I think that the moon gave a nigga a wink
Rollin' at twilight
Gettin' ready for the nightlife
Me and my real ones (me and my real ones)
We about to make a highlight
Rollin' at twilight (rollin' at twilight)
Gettin' ready for the nightlife
Me and my real ones (me and my real ones)
We about to make a highlight
It's a get-together, takin' flicks together
Playin' dominoes, we can sit forever
Talkin' that shit, Jordan to Kobe
Lightin' a stogie, countin' the trophies
Friends and family, ones that can't stand me
'Cause they say I act too manly
Well, that's just me
I'ma tell it like it is, I'ma call what I see
Rollin' at twilight
Gettin' ready for the nightlife
Me and my real ones (me and my real ones)
We about to make a highlight
