• Take this for example, young brothers want rep
• 'Cause in the life they’re living, you can’t half step
• It starts with the young ones doing crimes for fun
• And if you ain’t down, you’ll get played out, son
• So let’s get a car, you know, a fly whip
• Get a dent puller, screwdriver and be off quick
• With a dope ride, yeah, and a rowdy crew
• We can bag us a Benz and an Audi, too
• Even a jeep or a van, goddamn, we’re getting ours, yo
• Take a trip up the strip and be like stars, so
• It doesn’t matter if the cops be scoping
• They can’t do jack, that’s why a young brother’s open
• To do anything, anywhere, anyplace
• Buck wild in another court case
• It’s the code of the streets
