Verse 1:
See me all around, rollin’ through the hometown
Honestly, I don’t trip, cuz lil’ shorty hold it down
Loose lips sink ships, soundin’ like the family
But not me, I’m a different pedigree
Couple shots I’ll take like ‘tres (aye)
2 - 1, yeah I be too on
Damn, need a coupon
Pockets feelin’ lukewarm
Gotta get paid, gotta get paid
Ima make me some kool-aid
Can’t sit still on Sunday
When you treat every day like Monday (yuh!)
Money on my mind, Ion’ waste no time
Everything I touch blowin’ up!
Yeah I got that baby face but trust me baby I’m old enough!
In my lane, gotta hit the gas, never catch Jehzan slowin’ up!
‘Round the island like Wiz Khalifa cuz baby girl straight rollin’ up! (woof!)
Pre-Hook:
I been out here grindin’
Always rep da island
Hata’ we aint fightin’
I’m just too enlightened
All that talkin’ just ignite it
Light the flame you all invited
Light the flame you all invited
yeah, like what?
Hook:
They ask me why I do this...
Barkada, Barkada!
Me and the crew get stoopid…
Barkada, Barkada!
(2x)
Ay!
Verse 2:
Friday night, sippin’ wine
Relax my mind, feelin’ fine
I get mine, just in time
Now watch me shine (yeah)
Killin’ shit all about the biz’
Been this way since I was a kid
Never rep’d for the Bloods or Crips
Parents split back in ‘96
Kill em’ with kindness I already know
Price is increasing like show after show
High in demand so I’m ready to blow
Funded the tour and the tickets get sold
I make this shit from my soul (yeah)
I’m steady countin’ the dough (yeah)
I get the pack and I load (yeah)
Work hella hard cuz I’m Ilocano!
Call me you talk to the boss (huh)
I learned this shit from my mom (huh)
Fakin’ they show they palms (huh)
We turn em’ all into pawns
Yeah cuz...
Pre-Hook:
I been out here grindin’
Always rep da island
Hata’ we aint fightin’
I’m just too enlightened
All that talkin’ just ignite it
Light the flame you all invited
Light the flame you all invited
yeah, like what?
Hook:
They ask me why I do this...
Barkada, Barkada!
Me and the crew get stoopid…
Barkada, Barkada!
(3x)
