[00:40.273] lt was Friday afternoon in the middle of June
[00:42.507] Heineken bottle caps and the aroma of boom
[00:45.505] Around the time everybody had just got home from class
[00:47.755] Shootin' dice, talkin' sh*t, hopin' the cash would last
[00:50.393] Yo, this was around the time when I didn't know no better
[00:53.001] Juney moved around in a tinted out Jetta
[00:55.090] Then he introduced me to that hydro smoke
[00:58.085] Then I took one toke, yo, I almost choked
[01:00.621] See I never smoked before so my nerves got shot
[01:03.164] Then he told me about the party at the spot jam rock
[01:05.718] It was guaranteed on but I said "son, chill"
[01:08.272] There's a joint around the way that's supposed to be real
[01:10.734] Word
[01:10.456] He said we got all day, so we gonna do it right
[01:13.304] Hit your man's joint first, then jam rock at one night
[01:15.850] Then I said "aight", then I hopped inside the jetty
[01:18.482] Let me take a shower, l'm sweaty, and then I'll be ready
[01:21.060] Tonight is the night I get my groove on steady
[01:23.727] And get my drink on with that Ford named Betty
[01:26.156] I went upstairs to get fly, broke my tie
[01:29.194] On some liquor, to meet my high quicker
[01:31.404] Now, l'm tight, them know, the party is the M.O
[01:33.726] Me and my crew, we get it started like a demo
[01:36.257] Eleven in the evenin, l'm feelin' like a heathen
[01:38.900] This thing is goin' down and I highly doubt l'm leavin'
[01:41.326] Booty cheeks start to motion and the kids is drinkin' potion
[01:43.838] Word is bond, that Black Moon joint got me open (Don't front)
[01:47.507] Yo, the DJ flipped the script
[01:48.970] Threw on the good sh*t that made the kid lose his grip
[01:51.505] Blendin Risin to the Top and got these shorties hoppin'
[01:54.013] Nuthin' but coppin', ain't no stoppin me now
[01:56.494] Yo, l'm bound to win until that thing kicked in
[01:58.853] The Alize had me stuck, I don't know where to begin
[02:11.622] Now l'm feelin' kinda jaded, wildly coherent
[02:14.315] Me and the fellas started acting irreverent
[02:16.974] Butt grabbin', mad laughin' just assin'
[02:19.273] When that chick caught up, the shorty lookin' fed up
[02:21.700] They say you drug one with this one, gibbin' with that one
[02:24.395] Ay yo, I'm just doin' my thing, yo l'm just havin' fun
[02:26.871] You don't see me in here wylin pullin' out no gun
[02:29.287] Yo, I see some of that thing girl and I want some
[02:31.847] So let's step inside this corner so that we can rap on
[02:34.417] Over this bumpin' ass song plus some Dom Perignon
[02:36.976] I hit ya with the good lovin' plus illet mignon
[02:39.542] (Yeah, yeah scrammy scrams, yo, that's that same old song)
[02:41.984] (Ay yo, tell me why the hell your breath smells so strong)
[02:44.557] Yo, put some brakes on your yappin' or you won't live long (Please ni**a, push on)
[02:48.350] Alright scrams, see you later (Scrams)
[02:50.011] Can't mess with these streetsharks or these alligators
[02:52.163] I can't take it no more, yo it's damn near four
[02:54.794] l've been partyin' and drinkin' since I came out my door
[02:57.247] Look at these kids about to mix it, damn, where's the exit?
[02:59.947] (Son, jetted to the ride and got the burner out the Lexus)
[03:02.333] Ay yo, he cocked his joint back like he's about to let him have
[03:04.833] (Kid, I kept it movin' like the Energizer rabbit)
[03:07.366] Ay yo yo, it's time to skate, ain't no time to contemplate
[03:10.223] (All: Whoops, looka there, there's Jake)
