I don't think they know the time [x5]
Heard the streets f*cked up, I can see the sign
Heard they going for the 30 straight
I can't lie, man that shit got me 38
Red hot, on fire
Glass pot, on fire
Red dot, on fire
5 shots, on fire
[Verse 1]
Ooh oh, your boy's back
And he way too flashy, got my toys back
N*gga I just left the lot, I ain't come to play
He pull me from my dealer tag, f*ck you trying to say
Know some n*ggas doing 10, blame it on the yay
Clip hold a half a hundred, blame it on the K
Still the realest n*gga in it, these n*ggas CB4
This is f*ck a n*gga records, and I'm the CEO
Got them stack long and wide, like some Lego blocks
This ain't even my real home, this my lego spot
You ever seen so much money in a duffel bag?
Soon as you open up the zipper, the b*tch will double brag
[Hook]
I don't think they know the time
Heard the streets f*cked up, I can see the sign
Heard they going for the 30 straight
I can't lie, man that shit got me 38
Red hot, on fire
Glass pot, on fire
Red dot, on fire
5 shots, on fire
[Verse 2]
I'm in that purple Lam', looking like some dirty Sprite
Catchin' passes with them birds, yeah that rowdy white
Where I'm from them things hot, and that talk is cheap
And ain't nobody hearing shit, cause they trying to eat
All they can eat, buffet style
N*gga selling anything, buffet wild
DB9 stupid grill, yeah that overbite
Need me 9 stupid deals, this shit is overpriced
Got it vacuum sealed up, that's to hide the scent
So much that if they pull you over, smell it through the vent
If them peoples hit them lights, I be a nervous wreck
When you don't fear nothing but the lights, now that's a nervous check
[Hook]
I don't think they know the time
Heard the streets f*cked up, I can see the sign
Heard they going for the 30 straight
I can't lie, man that shit got me 38
Red hot, on fire
Glass pot, on fire
Red dot, on fire
5 shots, on fire
