Told ya moms, tell me stop shittin on me, take the block with my phone |
|
Don't forget about a dog when he away from home |
|
You know i'm trying to blow, but i can still spread love |
|
Cuz he been down for too long, and i ain't seen him in the hood |
|
Plus i always say i'll visit, switch at the last minute |
|
He respect and overstand that i'm takin care of business |
|
But still ain't all, he needs to accept these calls |
|
The one you pass on your way, be the same one you fall |
|
And that's a fact that's been proven till this day it don't pay |
|
To go against the grain and betray family |
|
Plus i just seen shack he said you change, actin funny |
|
But he don't even wet it, cuz he still gettin money |
|
