Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tote that tool, make that double
Better be cool, you don't want no trouble
Keep it leanin' to the left, my gat stay cocked
I'm always super clean when you see me on the block
Keep my money in a knot with a rubberband on it
Blow to marijuana, know I got it if you want it
See me standin' on the corner, slangin' that crack
You know how it is to be the man in trap
[Verse 2]
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dopeman, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
(From a key to a G it's all about money)
[Verse 3]
Look, bet all you see is tats, money, grills, and chains
But if you scratch the surface, you can feel the pain
Names change, but the situation still the same
The bills need payin', ****, simple and plain
Take a youngin who aspirin' to get him some change
Won't nobody hire him, so he get in the game
Went and bought a fifty slab, divide it up into ten
Sold 'em all, doubled down, did it again
By then you got enough to buy a quarter ounce
You sellin' dimes to forty fiends buy it and bounce
Throw some money to your momma, keep some food in the house
But cop the outfit and the Jordans on the day they come out
You Better get yourself a pistol, know the jackers is out
Flip another seven grams, oh, you hustlin' now
Time to get yourself a half, make sure it's some glass
A hundred bags, sell it fast, stack a G, now you officially
[Verse 4]
The dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dopeman, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
(I bet you think you're pretty good at it now, huh?)
[Verse 5]
Now once you flipped a couple O's know the game get gravy
Take twelve fifty, go get you two and a baby
That's sixty three grams if you whip that right
You should get back five or six that night
Stack that money and repeat that twice
Buy you somethin' to ride in, it gotta be tight
Next time you buy somethin' take twenty-five hundred
Get four and a half, it come back in nine don't it
Now stay low key when the money keep comin'
Keep some **** on your team to show these suckers they don't want it
By then your connect will clearly see you're on the grind
Shit, you come to get a nine and he front you what you buyin'
As long as you bring back your money on time
And if you snort blow, do it on your own time
At this rate you'll be at a brick in no time
They say the want some weight, tell them **** stand in line
[Verse 6]
You the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dopeman, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
Stay with me now shorty, here come the fun part (From a key to a G it's all about money)
[Verse 7]
Now the robbers plottin' on you and your name stay buzzin'
You caught a sale case down in Macon with your cousin
Your connect ain't worried, you and him cool
He know you'll never tell what you and him do
A mob of a hundred, just a few of them true
You heard a worker snitchin' on you, and it's true
Everybody know you sell that shit
The feds come and get you, and they tell you shit, we heard you
Tote that tool, make that double
Better be cool, you don't want no trouble
Keep it leanin' to the left, my gat stay cocked
I'm always super clean when you see me on the block
Keep my money in a knot with a rubberband on it
Blow that marijuana know I got it if you want it
See me standin' on the corner slangin' that crack
You know how it is to be the man in trap
[Verse 8]
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dopeman, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dope, dope, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman, ****, the dopeman, ****
The dope, the dopeman, the dopeman, ****
I'm the dopeman ****
