[Verse 2] Hovi Baby We are really high, really high tonight We tip the waiter a hundred dollars To keep the ice cold, alright? We the last guys to keep the Wise guys code alive If I can't live by my word Then I'd much rather die No no don't thank me, This is just how my suit is stitched I'm cut from a different cloth, I'm just who the shoe fits For the Color Of Money like a Tom Cruise flick 'Cept I put 8-balls in corners without using pool sticks Beautiful music when champagne flutes click Beautiful women sippin' throught rouge lips Dangers approaches We're like wait who's this? Let us save you some trouble son What size suit you is? This way after the Ruger shoots through a few clips You can lay in your casket just as you is We appreciate the target practices We'll be sure to send flower baskets kid
[Repeat Hook]
[Verse 3] I was gonna kill a couple rappers But they did it to themselves I was gon' do it with the flow But they did it with their sales I was gon' 9/11 'em, but they didn't need the help And they did a good job them boys is talented as hell Cuz not only did they brick they put a building up as well They ran a plane into that building and when that building fell Ran to the crash site with no masks and inhaled Toxins deep inside their lungs until both of them was filled Blew a cloud out like a L into a jar then took a smell Cuz they heard that second hand smoke kills Niggas thought they was ill found out they was...ILL And it's like you knew exactly how I wanted you to feel
