Rip my dogg
I enjoyed much of hip hop through his music and a ruff Ryders mix I had on tape.
On my phone I have like a dozen of his hits which makes my negrolets look at me like am sort of crazy rhyming with him.
Watched him battle Snoop Dogg on #versuz and likened his dance moves to an older uncle having fun
Man, cats don’t know what it’s gonna be
Fuckin with a nigga like me, D-to-the-M-to-the-X
Last I heard, y’all niggaz was havin sex, with the SAME sex
I show no love, to homo thugs
Empty out, reloaded and throw more slugs
How you gonna explain fuckin a man?
Even if we squashed the beef, I ain’t touchin ya hand
