Ying Yang Twins

Lyrics

[Intro: Kaine]
Ay, yo, yo yo
This is Ying Yang Twins with a ghetto public service announcement (Uh oh)
Red light (Ohh), red light (Oh, oh)
Stay by yourself, (Oh) by yourself (Oh)

[Chorus: Kaine & (D Roc)]
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)

[Verse 1: Kaine]
Nigga dwell on me, can't hang
So tell on me, got my bitch all at the crib
Try to smell on me, nigga wanna stay around me
But when I'm sitting on the couch
She keep me saying "ouch", 'cause she grabbin' on my crouch
And I already know, thinking to myself
"What the fuck, somebody told"
Had to have been one little nigga that I showed
Some shit that they never should have seen, anyhow
All hell nigga fuck hatin' on me now
Smokin' on my weed, steady drinkin' on my beer
Hell nah, nigga, get the fuck up out of here
Can't hold one so you can't hold your tongue
Nigga lips smackin' like he chewed bubble gum
Tell her where I been, what I did, who I'm with
Said he seen me with two bitches, that's when I said
I gotta stay the fuck away from Ed, I'ma
[Chorus: Kaine & (D Roc)]
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)

[Verse 2: Mr. Ball]
Smokin' weed by myself, drinkin' Henn by myself
Buckin' hoes by myself, I fucks with nobody else
Now red light, shawty started a fight
Just talking all about us, and whilin', its alright
I hate when my brothers, fuckin' up undercovers
Shawty, did I stutter? Go get another rubber
Shawty shakin' like blubber, shawty want me to cut her
Too many niggas in the house, time to get out
I get freaky in the back, while you play at your work
I'm hittin' the fat monkey, and damn your girl chunky
Hennessy what I need, I'm drinking all alone
On the phone with my B...L-U-N-T
Per sé every day, a White Owl, Optimo, Philly, or Garcia
Give a fuck about a bitch, what that muthafucka say?
Who gives a shit? Grab a bitch in the club
Show her love with a dub, and them niggas hatin' cause I...
[Chorus: Kaine & (D Roc)]
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)

[Verse 3: D Roc]
Smoke by myself, drink by myself
Fuck by myself, 'cause I was born by my goddamn self
Fuck running trains, that shit lame
I'd rather be one-on-one with a bitch gettin' brain
Too many heads on a blunt, nigga don't get high
I don't give a fuck if ya got five
Every now and then you chip in, and you wanna get Henn'
But you never got a twinny-twin-twin
Money don't grow on trees, Henn ain't cheap
Take it from me, you better hope you get drunk with a Pepsi
Uh, that's a beep, might be a freak
(Ay, lemme roll with you, folk) I ain't taking nobody with me
I'ma ride by myself, get high by myself, get drunk by myself
Fuck this ho by my goddamn self
'Cause don't nobody hold your own, like your own
That's why we on our own...
[Chorus: Kaine & (D Roc)]
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)
Smoke by myself
Drink by myself
Fuck these hoes by my goddamn self
For real (By my goddamn self)
For real (By my goddamn self)

[Outro]
See now when you do what you do, how you do what you do
When you do what you do, nobody can tell on you
If you all by yourself, ah ah ah, say it
I don't need no friends, I don't need no foes
I'ma drink my Henn, and choke all out the door
Now everybody say goodbye, get your hand that burns
It's just good to see ya ride, reverse, reverse
Biieetch, reverse, reverse, biieetch
Twenty hops this time, twenty hops this time (Hoooo!)
Everybody tries ta, everybody chill...we just playin'
Everybody but me, Ying Yang Twins out for the 2001
(Ay, we'd like to thank y'all)
Went down to the jukebox...Embed
