Four finger rings, big as brass knuckles
Haters walk by, try to stab you if they hug you
Lady on the fourth floor hollering every evening

One shot to the neck and the jugular, now he bleeding
She beat the case, but damn the kid suffer
I'm dating a daughter, but I'm having visions of a mother
Project nights, no project lights
Hopin' a friend don't try to rob my mom at night
