My cocaine records stand up next to Meech
Tiger cubs in the club, helicopters above, yeah, dem flex weak
I speak Patois, yeah
Jamaican connects, Dominican with the bricks
But I would aim at fishscales and double dragon
Brooklyn was a zoo, little monkeys swung through
Banana clips on the oo-wop, we want static (yeah)
