Baby I am what I am, I'm gon' be who I be Everything from chasing a cat to p***** on a tree Let me see what I gotta to see Do what I gotta to do Dog for life but keep it true Every once in a while I'll break out the backyard to roam And get reckless But I still know that home is home And when I get there I'mma sit there Take a s*** there put my d*** there Do I handle my business? S*** yeah I'mma run till I bust my gun and empty the clip Never come home, I gotta go just gimme the whip I ain't got time for the lip Just open the fence Let me go I'll come back I ain't got time to convince Ever since I was a pup I've been stuck with the street s*** Keep the heat s*** F*** it n**** gotta eat I past on a weak s*** If it's out there I want it All at one time So when it's my time I've done it

And let me know you ain't in some heat And don't go crying, you're grown You know I'm looking out for you Cause you be looking out for me, me, me
