You can call me Hugh Hefner on his last fling This that Jimi Hendrix on his last string This that Whitney Houston on her last track This that Wayne Gretzky on his last scratch I tighten you up, them coroners will button you up Now I'm french kissing your bitch in ParisĬome and find me di Giannis that's from '92Ĭome and find me now, I got an army with me now Hawk vision, LA heels right on Huff Terrace Niggas hated all the time, it's a dirty game

I be gifted when I'm faded, faded all the time

'Cause I'm down for whatever I can always keep it upĪll I need is some liquor just to keep a nigga up 'Cause they want me, they want me in their clubīut if you got the numbers I'll be glad to show you loveĮvery time they play my song I'ma fill another cup I be rolling all day, mix it in the champagneĪnd these bottles all free, not a single drink paid
