Pay
atten­tion. And listen real closely how I break this slang shit down

Check it, my weed smoke is my lye.
A ki of coke is a pie.
When I'm lifted, I'm high.
With new clothes on, I'm fly.
Cars is whips and sneakers is kicks.
Money is chips, movies is flicks.
Also, cribs is homes, jacks is pay phones.
Cocaine is nose candy, cigarettes is bones.
A radio is a box, a razor blade is a ox.
Fat diamonds is rocks and jakes is cops.
And if you got robbed, you got stuck.
If you got shot, you got bucked.
And if you got double-crossed, you got fucked.
Your bankroll is your poke, a choke hold is a yoke.
A kite is a note, a con is a okey doke.
And if you got punched that mean you got snuffed.
To clean is to buff, a bull scare is a strong bluff.
I know you like the way I'm freaking it.
I talk with slang and I'mma never stop speaking it. Speak with criminal slang
That’s just the way that I talk, yo
Vocabulary spills, I’m ill

Yo yo, A burglary is a jook, a wolf's a crook.
Mobb Deep already explained the meanin' of shook.
If you caught a felony, you caught a F.
If you got killed, you got left.
If you got the dragon, you got bad breath.
If you 730, that mean you crazy.
Hit me on the hip means page me.
Angel dust is sherm, if you got AIDS, you got the germ.
If a chick gave you a disease, then you got burned.
Max mean to relax, guns and pistols is gats.
Condoms is hats, critters is cracks.
The food you eat is your grub.
A victim's a mark.
A sweat box is a small club, a ticker's your heart.
Your apartment is your pad.
Your old man is your dad.
The studio is the lab and heated is mad.
I know you like the way I'm freaking it.
I talk with slang and I'mma never stop speaking it Speak with criminal slang
That’s just the way that I talk, yo
Vocabulary spills, I’m ill

The iron horse is the train and champagne is bubbly.
A deuce is a honey that's ugly.
If your girl is fine, she's a dime.
A suit is a vine, jewelry is shine.
If you in love, that mean you blind.
Genuine is real, a face card is a hundred dollar bill.
A very hard, long stare is a grill.
If you sneaking to go see a girl, that mean you creeping.
Smiling is cheesing, bleeding is leaking.
Beggin' is bumming, if you nuttin you cummin.
Taking orders is sonnin', an ounce of coke is a onion.
A hotel's a telly, a cell phone's a celly.
Jealous is jelly, your food box is your belly.
To guerrilla mean to use physical force.
You took an L, you took a loss.
To show off mean floss, uh.
I know you like the way I'm freaking it.
I talk with slang and I'mma never stop speaking it. Speak with criminal slang
That’s just the way that I talk, yo
Vocabulary spills, I’m ill
