[02:59.348] And swoop the young so that they can come through and kick it
[03:02.131] And peep the game just as
[03:04.047] I did as a kid
[03:05.014] And watch the savage get his cabbage and place his bid
[03:07.998] And even though we fight we still remain game tight
[03:10.864] Handle business and always open for fogiveness
[03:13.880] It ain't nothin' like a homey you ain't seen in awhile
[03:16.764] So when you meet him greet him with that ghetto smile
