Best friends
What's that?
What's his name?
X (Standby, sir)
C#m
Alright, is that X your middle name?
Gdim F#7
Of course, it's on a vehicle ID, right?
C#m
You gettin' smart? 'Cause you'll be in a fucking car with him
Gdim
Fucking smartass
F#7
I'm telling you
I'm asking you what the X is, is that your middle name?
C#m Gdim F#7
Of course, what is it?
G#m
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
C#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?
F#
Grab you up? I'll grab you any way I got to
D#m
You're not protecting me while I'm trying, while I'm trying to go to work
Why don't you shut up?
