Lyrics
Pull up in my X6 with my M1
Just hit my connect, he say he got 'bout 10 guns
Pull up in my 745 with 51
Pull up in my Q7, with FNs & drums
Pull up to your party, b***** I got my 40
Pull up to your house, all them guns is out
Pull up on your block, we love pulling up
And we pulling up with Glocks, we are toolied up
I just heard the opps is pulling up
We ready to fire them p****** up
We been in a lot of bullet wars
And we done bought a lot of bullets for 'em
