Ah, it's jumpin' off in H-Town, baby

He he he

Strictly for the funk lovers

Give it to me

And we really want the whole world to see

How it goes

We want your mind to blow, baby

When you free your mind and let it float

Let me roll

We want your mind to blow

Just let us hang with you

Hangin' in the hood, just shootin' the breeze

My partners on the cut smokin' swisher sweets

Trippin' on the hoochies, rollin' by in they rides

Guzzlin' up a forty ounce of cold St. Ides

Jammin' to a tape to my partner had made

Growin' up in the Hood' bein' mixed with Face

Swisher sweet's a killer, feelin' nothin' but nice

Reached in my pocket for the old school dice

Pulled out a knot and dropped the dice on the flo'

And asked my partner Mike what they hittin' fo'

Pulled out a yard and said, "We bettin' a dove"

Tee Lee Baby, show your partner some love

Kickin' back fadin', put the flame to the joint

3-2, drop baby, 3-2's your point

Back in the do' with a fo' and a ace

Picked up his ends and waved the dice in my face

And then he hollered out, "School house"

Schooled 'em again, now D's come in ounce

And walked away from the crap game broke

But it ain't no thing, yo, just let a brother smoke

Let me roll

We want your mind to blow

Just got some things to do

Back on the creep after losin' some change

Seen my partner [unverified], Big Chief and James

Creepin' on the boulevard, actin' a fool

Trippin' on the broads at the old school

Music bumpin' hard, never turnin' it down

Trunk super tight with surround-by sound

Paint job crackin' 'cause the punch ain't fade

Jammin' that brand new 2Low tape

Windows all smokey, blowin' coke-laced seed

I'm throwin' up the deuce to the HPD

Now they lookin crazy like I sold the hay

Just another day in the heart of S.A.

Roll a little further there, I seen O.G.

With his brother named [unverified], S.A. O.G.

They chopped up the hood, so I'm chunkin' it back

And then they pulled out a 200 dollar sack

When I saw it I almost choked

Twist your partner one, big baby

Just let your partner smoke

Let me roll

We want your mind to blow

We got some things to do

Smokin' on some lovely, now I'm feelin' fine

It's jumpin' off at the 9.9

5th Ward in the house with the S.A. fools

Ain't no set trippin' 'cause we all so cool

Drinkin' up the bottle, gettin' drunk as a skunk

That 151 just ain't no punk

Hit the stage and grabbed the mic and started flexin' styles

A stage full of tight MC's goin buckwild

Now throw your hands in the air like that

On the wheels of steel is my homie Lonnie Mack

Gettin' down on his own

Now I'm finna pass my partner Jay the microphone

Throw your hands in the air like that

Northside where you at, where you at, where you at?

Throw your hands in the air like that

Southside where you at, where you at, where you at?

Throw your hands in the air like that

Eastside where you at, where you at, where you at?

Throw your hands in the air like that

Westside where you at, where you at, where you at?

Let me roll

We want your mind to blow

Let me roll

We want your mind to blow

We got some things to do

Just let us hang with you

We some drink for you

My partner Jay's
