Lyrics
(Seriously though, I got one question: who's the best CG ever?) Gambino's the tightest (What?) Gambino's the tightest (Oh, thank you) Gambino's the tightest (Alright, okay) Gambino's the tightest (Uh-huh, now, alright) Gambino's the tightest (Get up, get up) (Let's be like Bonnie Raitt and give you somethin' to talk about) Gambino's the tightest (Get up, get up) (Y'all don't want to talk about [?] and shit) Gambino's the tightest (Get up, get up) You can tell when I walk (Uh) You can tell when I rap (Damn) They a scrawny motherfucker with a black backpack You a whack emcee therеfore I've nevеr heard of you Where I'm from, niggas call me suburban murderer Gambino, yeah you've heard of me From Atlanta to New York, so they tell you the same I'm the nigga that you figure for the fortune and fame, like The black kids your parents are really cool with Until it hits one of your brothers with a pool stick Rollin' down the street with a new ten-speed Hit a pine tree (skirrrrt) 'cause I'm really high off weed The nice, cute boy that doesn't really have a dad Saying college need to polish up his game to get lit Show the girls the loaf so we can break bread like... damn The city's pretty bad but the suburbs are even worse These niggas overcompensate, they try to seem Persian They sell crack in a bottlecap for a dollar The girl down the street sucks your dick for a quarter The boys roll hard when they they try to steal a phone Stole a gun from my uncle while they talk on the phone Showed it to 'em once, and then they left me alone like Why you tryna act like you just don't know? I wear a clean hoodie and a fat afro I freestyle at every major event They call me up when they can't find fifty cent (50 Cent?) No, not the rapper, the currency I rap for a dime if it's an emergency I sleep all day and I ride all night I stay dirty like underdrawers when you don't wipe (disgusting) I'm vastly learned in techniques My rhyme's NSYNC and my flow is Backstreet And then I lay down to go sleep And count sheep that I stole from Bo Peep With this last line, I'm gonna start beef with a fictional rapper I made up So fuck you, M.C. Buttercup! [Outro] (Aw, yeah Oh, shit. Oh. Crap. This sucks. Shit Thi-- ugh. This CD is not starting well. At all.)
