Quoteable Lyrics
This the realest shit I ever wrote (Huh?)
Hood nigga, wash my chain in the sink with soap (In the sink with soap)
Never learned to swim, but they can't sink my boat (They can't sink my boat)
Turn the light down, damn, I need to think, hold on (Need to think, hold on)
Long live Folcah, that shit hurt my soul (That shit hurt my soul)
Losin' all my partners for some friends, they broke (For folks, pussy)
