Every afternoon, I kick half the tune
Word to Marcus Garvey, I hardly sparked it

'Cause when I blast the herb, that's my word
doing this, that in the third
G#m
But chill, pass to Andre and let's slay
C#m

I bag bitches up at John Jay
and hit a matinee
G#m

Putting hits on 5- 0

And biters can't come near
