i’m ringling brothers barnum bailey with the pies
no matter how you slice it i’m your motherfuckin’ guy
and just like a bboy with 60 waves

whether right or southpaw whether pot or the jar
whip it around it still comes back hard
so easily do i whip
my repetition with wristses’ll bring the kilo bidness
i got creole co bitches for my niggas
who slipped became prisoners treats taped to the visitors
you already know what the bidness is
unnecessary conversary boy we live this shit
niggas wanna bring the ’80s back
that’s okay with me that’s where they made me at
except i don’t write on the wall
i write my name in the history books hustlin’ in the hall
nah i don’t spin on my head
i spin my work in the pot so i can spend my bread
