But I’m in the top 2, and my father’s gettin’ old.

A rap pro, do a show, good to go, also

Gigolo, Romeo, Friday night spend money on a ho…tel,
To get a good night’s sleep, I’m keeping in step.
Now do I come off? Yep.

You gotta school these young macks comin’ up today…
I mean to be ‘frank’, they just hot dogs,
The girls are relish, and they need to catchup on they pimpin’.

Stepping to me? Yo, that’s the wrong move.
So what you on, hobbs, dope or dog food?

Giving party people something funky to listen to.
