Hey, hey, hey
[Attentiiooon]
The fullest extent of my intent is to let you know what is importent
My existents is militent cause my content bangs like it’s potent
Resistent to the pollutent, never hesitent, always consistent
I back it up, yeah I’m very blatent
Don’t try to copy this cause I patent
Runnin on the streets causing tentsions
Running through, running through, running through
Runnin on the streets causing tentsions
Hey, hey, hey - attention!!!!
Hey, hey, hey - attention!!!!
Got to see my life from a distents
For instents, my friends say I act tents
I’m a refugee from a yellow brick tent
Pasttents presenttents and futuretents
Our borough is long like a sentents
Its intents bitches its instent
We go the distents to presitents
For attention about my tent
Things fall on our heads like we’re newtent
So don't drop that ball on that butent
We’re aliens but we’re not mutent
We tent out of tent - acountent
There’s 36 chambers in my wu tent
We slangtent in bennetent
While you dance in your louboutent
We be makin tent out ya curtent
