[Lil Wayne]
Shhh
Gangsta to the core
Ankle wrap flamer
Paint your kicthen floor
Wit you're whore
Shit you can't ignore
Things you indore when you fuckin wit the boy
All I hear is weezy don't kill me no more
I hear your bullshit
I play mat at door
I'm not a category
I ain't there wit ya'll
I got a positive vibe but I ain't scared of ya'll
Git the kid nigga did never that at all
That rat a tat go off
A black kak kak kak
I gotta bitch so fine her name perrion(?)
She no how to stash quarters in a carry on
I blow outta town
Grass when I'm outta town
Uptown in the buildin not a sound
'cause killas don't get heard about
They get whispered about
Or you get murdered out (nigga)

[Chorus: Birdman (Lil Wayne)]
Well let me take to to the neck of the woods

Finger on the trigger got money in my pocket

Well let me take to to the neck of the woods

[Lil Wayne]
Got it on your mind let daddy say sumtin

You look like jay-z's shirt
Fuckin wit that turf,I'm puffin on that smurf
Fuck it come holla and tell that poppa put away your dollas
Your son got choppas
And if you got enemies (yeah)
Your son got enemies (believe that)
That's uptown energy nigga!

[Birdman]
Don't waste no time on no bullshit
If it ain't hood shit
We spend a lil paper nigga
Well if you catch em in the hood nigga
It's all good shit
Go head do me that favor nigga
Well let me take you down deep in the inside
It's where they hustle and the homies try to get it right
It's when you gotta ride
It's when the homie die
And the money can't stop the pain in the inside

[Chorus: Birdman (Lil Wayne)]
Well let me take to to the neck of the woods
In my hood uptown
Show you wat we livin like
(walkin like a man
Finger on the tigger got money in my pocket
I'm a uptown nigga NIGGA!)
Well let me take to to the neck of the woods
In my hood uptown
Show you wat we livin like
(walkin like a man
Finger on the tigger got money in my pocket
I'm a uptown nigga NIGGA!)
Uptown...[repeat]
