Am
I went to the moped store said f**k it
C                   G
Salesman like "What up, what's your budget?"
        Am
And I'm like "Honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds"
C                  G
He said "I got the one for you, follow me"
Am
Oh it's too real

C                   G
Chromed out mirror, I don't need a windshield
Am
But on a seat, how can it be on two wheels
C                   G
Eight hundred cash, that's a hell of a deal
           Am
I'm headed Downtown, cruising through the alley
C                  G
Tip?toeing in the street like Dally
Am
Pulled up, moped to the valley
C                 G
Whitewalls on the wheels like (mayonnaise)
Am                    C                  G
Dope, my crew is ill, and all we need is two good wheels
    Am
Got gas in the tank, cash in the bank
      C                        G
And a bad little mama with her ass in my face
Am
I'mma lick that, stick that, break her off, (Kit?Kat)
C                       G
Snuck her in backstage, you don't need a wristband

Dope


Am
Killing the game 'bout to catch a body
C                  G
Passed the Harley, Dukie own a Ducati
Am                               C
Timbaland, Khaled, Scott Storch, Birdman
              G
God damn man, everybody got Bugattis
Am

                                    C                   G
Head into the dealership and drop a stack and cop a Kawasaki
Am
I'm stunting on everybody, hella raw, pass the wasabi
C                  G
I'm so low that my scrotums almost dragging on the concrete
Am
My seat is leather, alright, I'm lying, it's pleather
C                        G
But girl, we could still ride together
Am
You don't need an Uber, you don't need a cab
C                          G

        Am
She got 1988 Mariah Carey hair
C                    G
Very rare, mom jeans on her derriere
         Am
Throwing up the West Side as we tear in the air
            C                    G
Stopping by pipe place, throwing fish to a player


(Chorus)

C                   C

Em F                         G
   With a balance that could keep us safe

            Am
Because I'm too damn quick, I'm too damn slick
