Quotable Lyrics
Check it, a-one-two, a-one
"Two dope niggas in the Cadillac," they call us
Went from "Player's Ball" to ballers
Putting the South up on the map was like Little Rock to banging
Niggas say "motherfuck that playin'", they payin', we stayin', layin' vocals
Locales done made it with them big boys up in this industry
