[Velous]
Blunts full of smoke, clips in the ashtray
Reminiscin' on our past days
Back before a nigga went cold
Back before a nigga sold his soul
The grass is way greener... on the other side
The cash is way greener... over here where I reside
Soon as the summer come around I'm gon' make sure you see me
Said I'ma make sure you see me, ayy... but for now

[Chorus One 2X: Velous]
Shouldn't you be - gone
Gone for the winter
Gone for the winter...

[Chorus Two: Velous]
A-a-ain't that what the birds do?
(The summer's ours and the winter too)
They told me love don't cost a thing, bitch I'm headin' to the bank
(T-t-that's just what it feels like)
Hit the scene sippin' lean, give a fuck 'bout what you think
(The summer's ours and the winter too)
They told me love don't cost a thing, bitch I'm headin' to the bank
(T-t-that's just what it feels like)
Hit the scene sippin' lean, give a fuck 'bout what you

[Fabolous]
Uhh, straight up shit is real and any day could be your last in the jungle (yeah)
My ears to the streets, I hear your ass when you mumble (yeah)
They say you can't do it cause the last nigga fumble
As soon as you make it out, you get asked to be humble, huh
Head high, middle finger higher
My youngin' don't rap but that little nigga fire
Like Ray Allen in Game 6, when James missed
Then Bosh tapped it to him, you know what had happened to 'em
Swish! It's all about a swish
Know a nigga who would, you ain't even gotta wish
It's more in the sea and I done had a lot of fish
How she act when you ain't up will tell a lot about a bitch (mm)
Cause eagles don't fly with pigeons, they way higher
All wings flap but you gotta stay flyer (woo!)
Niggas broke as a joke, sittin' laughin' together
I started cheesin' after I turned my craft into cheddar (yeah)
I ran from the worst, chasin' after the better
Life is a bitch, I knew right after I met her
So what you have-nots know about havin' knots?
Love for a hater only thing I haven't got, yeah

[Chorus One] + [Chorus Two]

[Fabolous]
Yeah, uhh, look
You know I get around baby, that's just how the life be
I like a couple towns but you know my city wifey
And I ain't spent a month at home, still be in my comfort zone
Fuck askin' for a seat, you gotta come for thrones
Kings don't speak English, we speak Kinglish
I scoop a chick from Queensbridge, she comin' back a Queen bitch
Think B.I.G and Kim, not think bigger than them
Everybody wanna shine, gotta give these niggas a gym
Never stressed of lil' things, like a hater
That's something that comes when you eatin', like a waiter
Live from the 718
It's the kid that always get the shoes early, I never run late
You see I big up the flows, everyword is capital
I killed all them hoes, I'm the murder capital
I'm the name they bring up that they think their bird is flappin' to (huh)
You the name that usually comes behind "Word what happened to?"
Hah, y'all old washed niggas
Was the man now your all no washed, nigga
That's why I'm on +one+ like old Goerge Wash, nigga
If it's one they gotta chase it like John Walsh, nigga
I'm gone

[Interlude]
If you wanna hear that you the gangsta somebody say "Ooh Lord!" (Ooh Lord~!)
Them say ooh God bless no man never curse
Them say love yourself or you can't love nobody at all
If you ain't a hater, put your hands in the air right now
Bon bon mine

[Fabolous]
Blunts full of smoke, clips in the ashtray
Reminiscin' on our past days
Before a nigga went cold
Back before a nigga sold his soul
The grass is way greener... on the other side
Ay, the cash is way cleaner... over here where I reside
Ay, soon as the summer come around I'ma make sure you see me
I'ma make sure you see me
I'ma make sure you see me
Shouldn't you be... g-g-g-gone

Represent, represent
Came through in '9-8 and I've been reppin' since
These cats ain't real, just found out they leopard print
Cause they always talk shit then ask you for peppermints
Well, I can smell the hate on your breath
And I'm all out of Tic Tacs, all I got is click clack
Put it to your mouth just like Cutty did to Anthony
I tried to be a friend motherfucker, you under handed me
Lucky this is personal and God got a plan for me
Cause I handle my bid'ness, never let my bid'ness handle me
Sayin' your name could do more for you than it can for me
You give niggas and they forget your philanthropy
You don't have a penny 'til your name Anfernee
Don't ever bite the hand that feed you and then stick out your hand for me
We don't base, we throw niggas in the truck for real
Chase you out the hood, make you live with Uncle Phil
Champagne every night, I done drunk a mil'
Yeah, now that's money wasted
But now it's kinda hard for me to buy Ace
'Specially when I just seen Hov buy Ace
Moves, time to make moves
No more jab steps, those is fake moves
Gotta make it happen, no time for what may work
My plan B's another way to make my plan A work
I do the job myself and I'm still boss
You was in a win-win and you still lost
From Young OG to Young O'Genius
This is vintage shit, I don't think you young hoes seen this
I funeral shit, y'all shoulda brung more Kleenex
Even my junior ballin, yeah my son/Sun so +Phoenix+
Threw stones in the cross, call me Young O'Jesus
Foreign car work, hope you brung your visas, nigga
I tossed pies, flung those pizzas
My lady a work of art, call her Young Mo' Lisa
