And get married on the ave. with my damn wife

And we gon be a-aight
So shit, I send the kites to my niggas in jail (send that kite, nigga)
And tell them niggas we good, once n.o. sell
And to my street niggas, we done flipped out and beat niggas
And made the loudest niggas turn dis-creet niggas
As far as these chicks, they lovin the pipe
And she don't even like you, wanna thug in her life
See, she wanna a nigga go and walk the hood with her
That nigga try to front on her, Im in the hood with her
Shit, so stressed I could see it in her face--
When she walking down the block, but with me feel safe
And them niggas wont front, have them dudes erased, it go...

[chorus]

See Im a vet, nigga, and I could take you to school
And it's my fifth album, bout to quit like rule
So go head and try it, see it just don't match
And ya man hate me, cause yall just don't match
Got my gun on me, and I could walk you upstairs
Til you get inside the crib, girl, I aint scared
And tell ya man don't even come outside (yall niggas stay in the crib!)
Cause if he even try frontin, imma make that nigga run outside
See Im a, thug for real, I hold the steel
And I could walk you through the hood on the darkest hill
See she love n.o.r.e., plus any nigga like me
Drivin in the drop with a 10 cent icey
Shit, she want a thug that's basically
See she scared in the projects, but safe with me
Shit, n.o... (n.o...) r to the e
Spin out at 90 Im hard with the v, it go...

[chorus]

Yo, a-yo, good green, bout to get some valley stick
Im on the west coast, fuckin with my cali bitch
And she always want some in the night and the morning
Wanna know everywhere, and where Im performin
Shit, but it's aight, just let her ride
Yo she down wit a nigga, just let her ride
