But I ain't fucking with nobody

Let's have a toast to the good life

Suicide before you see this tear fall down

Me and my baby, we gon' be alright

We gon' live a good life

Big homie better grow up

Me and my whoadies 'bout to stroll up

They sneaking out the back door

He only want me when I'm not there

He better call Becky with the good hair
