Tryna put a 50 in my joggers (Won’t fit nigga)
Knew you was a rat when we was toddlers (You a snitch, nigga)
You was always the cop, I was the robber (Lil’ bitch nigga)
Born to be a leader, not follow (Follow)
Seventeen with a Monte Carlo (Carlo)
Y’all was in the house playin’ Mario (Mario)
I was sellin’ weed and went hollow (Went hollow)
That’s just how we was raised (On God)
Before we came of age (Straight up)
Y’all niggas wanted some pets (21)
