Never seen a wolf dressed like a sheep
They out here wearing Dolce & Gabbana
Things ain't always what they claim to be
Don't be deceived at what my mama taught us
My greatest hero drove a Caddy, he don't trust no babbies
Little Zone 4 baby flipped more than tricks and patties
Meeting with my first lady and my streets 'cause
Feet in both, where I be is where I came from
I learned pipe dreams ain't the real thing
The puppet ain't the master, don't get caught up

Twist the cap, pour us a glass and drink (Oh)
