[Intro]

Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh


[Verse 1]

Hey, I'm calling from California, got to bone ya

A nigga might pull up on ya, then a corner

With that sidewalk diploma

This persona is hotter than Arizona

This ain’t the rise of the phoenix, it's the rise of the penis

Bitches smile when they see us

Niggas always try to be us

Ice Cube is a genius

Try to beat us, curl you up like a fetus

Cedars, had to remove my Adidas

Tried to kick a motherfuckin' hole in the speakers

Tried to break it off, well your ass can’t shake it off

I'ma spit game that make hеr ass take it off


[Chorus]

Guess what? We arе just laid in the cut

Looking at your ass like you sus (Suspect)

Asking is he them or is he us?

Guess what? Guess what?

We are just laid in the cut (In the cut)

Looking at your ass like you sus (Uh-huh)

Asking is he them or is he us?

Guess what?


[Verse 2]

Don't think I'm built like that? You get killed like that

We don't want your mama to feel like that

'Cause we knew him like that

Have motherfuckers crying

"Why they do him like that?" He violated how I laid it

Called me outdated

Then he threw a sucker punch

Nigga, I ate it

Just like a fucking lunch

And it tasted kind of like Captain Crunch

Then I heard they had to smoke him like a pack of blunts

I don't know, I'm somewhere in some swimming trunks

Been out the country for many, many, many months

My alibi is like a lullaby

Got niggas thinking that I’m soft as a butterfly

Bitch, I talk softly with a big stick

Crazy like Bushwick

I’m with the bullshit

Hit him with the full clip

Money for the pulpit

Dummy was a kill switch

Nigga, I don't feel shit


[Chorus]

Guess what? We are just laid in the cut (In the cut)

Looking at your ass like you sus

Asking is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)

Guess what? Guess what?

We are just laid in the cut (You know)

Looking at your ass like you sus (You sus)

Asking is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)

Guess what? Guess what?


[Verse 3]

We been peeping out how you moving

The shark tank, without that nigga Mark Cuban

Here come the killer whale serving L’s

Swimming with you seals, I'm playing with my meals

Just to hear you squeal, grab him by the gills

Drown his ass 'cause you know that shit give me the chills

You know my pedigree, I hate disloyalty

Bring his head to me, nigga, like I'm royalty


[Chorus]

Guess what? We are just laid in the cut (In the cut)

Looking at your ass like you sus (Like you sus)

Asking is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)

Guess what? (Guess what?) Guess what?

We are just laid in the cut (In the cut)

Looking at your ass like you sus (Suspect)

Asking is he them or is he us? (Is he us?)

Guess what? (Guess what?) Guess what?
