Make a phone call and have you parking where it’s handicap (skrrt skrrt) I was asking myself, “What kind of man is that?”Īnd that’s a shot, muhf***er, can you handle that? I was watching all these rappers rockin fanny packs Heatmakerz chop up another soul sample, with Jimmy REALLY feeling himself: If you’re looking for those 2003 feels, look no further than “Sauce Boyz,” easily the most Dipset track on the album. That’ll get the blogs buzzing for a couple of weeks. That Kanye only f*** witchu when no one else is f***in’ with him (That’s a fid-act, fid-act)ĭon’t be ridiculous, he wasn’t in the mix with us They shootin’ at us?
