— Alright, well I’m with you, gimmie your number

— No doubt, no doubt

— Here go my number right here

You know the happenings, homies just yappin' and

Hand shaking, laughing, and exchangin' all they math again

You usually lose touch when you travelin'

A few dudes bruised up in the battlin'

Parked on Madison across from the Radisson

We talked about the tattlin' some niggas did in Maryland

Plus discussed old homicides unravelin'

I asked, was he dabblin', he laughed and said he managin'

His Carti frames was as clear as a camera lens

He hardly changed, I was near in comparison

We joked about how police choked him out

And he claimed as far as fame I had enough to bust in Oprah’s mouth

In other words, I was up in clout

And from the curb I need to pull a Larry Bird, 'fore I’m up and out

Without a sound, snatched my Guinness off the ground

Rose up, gave him a pound and told him, «Homie, hold it down»

You know the game insane in the brain

Big things in the Range, real niggas never change

And though we homies and we no longer hang

You know you know me and that love still remains

So through the fame, through the fire and the flames

I adapt to the pain, real niggas do the same

And though we homies and we no longer hang

You know you know me and that love still remains

It was Tuesday when I saw him, figured Friday I could call him

Woke up early Wednesday morning, flew a chick in from New Orleans

She ain’t that average bitch who be doggin' for dick

You know them chicks that get you sick when they keep callin'

Up in Nordstrom’s for a fresh pair to floss 'em

Of course with footwear I be that first nigga that sport 'em

Caught 'em before the salesmen even had time to assort 'em

Bought 'em before any celeb stylist ever saw 'em

Wore 'em soon as I copped 'em in the spot playing possum

Debating my destination, lacing, weighing my options

Celly started rockin', I answered, what’s poppin'

They answered and said, they shot him, now the hood got a problem

I had to swallow, reaching out for my water bottle

Tryin' to figure what nigga, why and by who, then

Before you know it, the other voice told it

It was homie from the old clique I just seen and spoke with

It’s Doe or Die, we survive 'till we slain

And it’s no surprise, homie was probably high when they came

I know the guy, he was fly, him and I was the same

A Gemini, with a status symbolized as his name

Godly trained, he could camouflage on any terrain

Carti frames, we go back like Bartles and James

It’s a shame cause they say his baby mom is to blame

But nonchalantly I refrained cause it constantly changed

From close range, somebody please slowly explain

If they just wanted some jewels why didn’t they go for the chain

If they just wanted some news they could’ve left him in his Hanes

But no, they just left a nigga breathless and banged
