Before a blunt, I take out my fronts

You couldn't catch me in the streets

Every afternoon, I kick half the tune
Word to Marcus Garvey, I hardly sparked it
C#m
'Cause when I blast the herb, that's my word
doing this, that in the third
C#m
But chill, pass to Andre and let's slay
F#m
D#m
I bag bitches up at John Jay
and hit a matinee
C#m
E
Putting hits on 5- 0
C#m

And biters can't come near

This goes out to Manhattan
