{Intro}
Pss, I see dead people
Mustard on the beat hoe

Ayy
Mustard on the beat hoe
Bee-bo

Call an ambulance, tell him, "Breath, bro"
Led a n* to the cross, he walk around like Teezo
What's up with these jabroni ass n*'s tryna see Compton
The industry can hate me, fuck 'em all and they momma
How many opps you really got? I mean it's too many options
I'm finna pass on this body, I'm John Stockton
Beat your ass and hide the Bible of God watchin'
