Dope Peddler
2 Chainz · Based On A T.R.U. Story [2012]
Every evening you will find him
Around our neighborhood.
It's the old dope peddler
That we know by doing good
[Hook]
Started off with a OZ
End up riding fo' deep
Pull up to that club like
Mothaf*cka ho you don't know me
I said I pull up to that club like
Mothaf*cka ho you don't know me
Started off with a OZ
End up riding fo' deep
Started off with a OZ
End up riding fo' deep
Pull up to that club like
Mothaf*cka ho you don't know me
I said I pull up to that club like
Mothaf*cka ho you don't know me
Most of my n*ggas got gold teeth
Most of my b*tches got tattoos
Most of my n*ggas think cash rules
And I mess up hair dos like it's a pair of shoes
And I need a parachute when I'm up there
I'm in the trap cuz I work there
[Hook]
Started off with a OZ
End up riding fo' deep
Pull up to that club like
Mothaf*cka ho you don't know me
I said I pull up to that club like
Mothaf*cka ho you don't know me

[Sample: "The Old Dope Peddler" by Tom Lehrer]
When the shades of night are falling,
Comes a fellow everyone knows,
It's the old dope peddler,
Spreading joy wherever he goes
See what these b*tches looking like
Stick it in all crooked like
Louie V is my kyrptonite
Take ya b*tch and I give her back
Give her this and I give her that
Fine wine and lobster tail
Candlelight and Chrisette Michele
Look at the pussy and play kiss and tell
Fix her hair then fix her nails
Even pay a few bills
Way I'm running sh*t man I should have a shoe deal
And my whole crew ill
Pockets on fat burger
Going so hard you'd think I mixed the Viagra with the Soda
Staying focused (?)
Black and white ice, polar bear
You hold her hand and I hold her hair
I pull her close and I put it there
