[Am]Used to be a snot-nosed [Dm]kid,
I knew a brud[F]dah six[Em]teen with two kids
[Am]Don't they grow up fast,[Dm]
step outside and graft?
Your [Em]line don't bang 'cause you [Am]woke up last,
you're [Dm]grindin' in slow-mo[F]tion
I was out selling [Em]no lotion,
he [Am]knows me I don't know [Dm]him
[F]but money comin' on the boa[Em]tload ting
[Am]You let the goons dem [Dm]in,
I'm the fisherman [F]cruisin' by, gyal,

G'd [Em]up in the G-Wagon?
