Yo Ayo
E3 Smoke nigg*
Strapped up, never roaming naked
Ya sh*t, if I want it ima take it
Lil E, hard headed, don't play it
Too real, street nigg*, might not make it
Strapped up, never roaming naked
Ya sh*t, if I want it ima take it
Lil E, hard headed, don't play it
Too real, street nigg*, might not make it
Done got fired from my first job for stealing
Banned from school, walked in already dealing
Interrogation, but I ain't with the squealing
Bit impulsive, I just go off my feelings
Two of my homeboys on probation, but they freemen
Another locked up, facing time, he was scheming
Gotta hold it down, can't go under, acts of thieving
Ever did me wrong, keepin' tabs, I get even
Riding roun' town, with my pole, & it's tucked up
No sucka sh*t, miss me wit that, ion suck up
All about my bread, day & night, til' the sun up
Game pose to be sold, not told, shut the f*ck up
Strapped up, never roaming naked
Ya sh*t, if I want it ima take it
Lil E, hard headed, don't play it
Too real, street nigg*, might not make it
Strapped up, never roaming naked
Ya sh*t, if I want it ima take it
Lil E, hard headed, don't play it
Too real, street nigg*, might not make it
f*cked up in the head, don't try it, you gon' make the news
Family of mechanics, Colmenares, toting all the tools
Petty ahh nigg*, starting fights, don't step on my shoes
Talent from the streets, Lil E, breaking all the rules
On my dick, had to go & get it, I was hitting licks
Now I'm bossed up, hitting plays, had to flip the script
f*ck a cashapp, no receipts, ain't no f*ckin' snitch
Smoke the whole L to the T, til it burn my lip
I'd be cappin' if I said my fingers didn't itch
Been a while, gave it up, on to bigger sh*t
Ion like to roll my sleeves, can't expose my tricks
Tryna chill and stick to music, I got plenty hits
Strapped up, never roaming naked
Ya sh*t, if I want it ima take it
Lil E, hard headed, don't play it
Too real, street nigg*, might not make it
Strapped up, never roaming naked
Ya sh*t, if I want it ima take it
Lil E, hard headed, don't play it
Too real, street nigg*, might not make it
