Best friends
What's that?
What's his name?
X (Standby, sir)

Alright, is that X your middle name?

You gettin' smart? 'Cause you'll be in a fucking car with him

I'm telling you
I'm asking you what the X is, is that your middle name?

Don't come back with the "What is it?" fucking shit
Talk to these fucking pigs on the street that way, you ain't talking to me that way
I don't talk to nobody in the streets, I don't hang with nobody
Well, then don't come to fucking Philadelphia, stay in Jersey
D#m
I have family out here
Everybody thinks they're a fucking lawyer and they don't know jackshit
Are you supposed to grab me like this?

Grab you up? I'll grab you any way I got to

You're not protecting me while I'm trying, while I'm trying to go to work
Why don't you shut up?
