Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl came through, the light skin honey with the cinnamon smell
Girl was so enticing, baby, make a **** choose hell
Momma hopped up on cocaine
Daddy on space ships with no brain
Sister gon' numb the pain the same (Why?)
Same DNA cell
Cell, cell, cell, cell, cell, cell
[Verse 2]
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
[Verse 3]
She was turned out on shiny new things
Diamond gold chains, diamond gold rings
Center-fold spread, she tryin' to do things
See, she be on that cought syrup and coke cans
Twenty-inch rim-man with no land
Her pussy gon' numb, the pain the same (Why?)
Same DNA strain
Strain, strain, strain, strain, strain, strain, strain, strain, strain, strain, strain
[Verse 4]
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
Who your master baby? Who your master baby?
Come on
[Verse 5]
We're not well
We're not well
We can't tell
[Verse 6]
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag, coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty, damn, damn, baby, bang
Rich man got the double barrel
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po (Blap, blap)
[Verse 7]
Girl came through, the light skin honey with the cinnamon smell
Girl was so enticing, baby, make a **** choose hell
Momma hopped up on cocaine
Daddy on space ships with no brain
Sister gon' numb the pain the same (Why?)
Same DNA cell
Cell, cell, cell, cell, cell, cell, cell, cell
[Verse 8]
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag, coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty, damn, damn, baby, bang
Rich man got the double barrel
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po (Blap, blap)
[Verse 9]
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag, coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty, damn, damn, baby, bang
Rich man got the double barrel
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po
[Verse 10]
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag, coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty, damn, damn, baby, bang
Rich man got the double barrel
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po (Blap, blap)
[Verse 11]
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag, coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty, damn, damn, baby, bang
Rich man got the double barrel
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po (Blap, blap)
[Verse 12]
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag, coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty, damn, damn, baby, bang
Rich man got the double barrel
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po (Blap, blap)
[Verse 13]
Brenda done died with no name
Nickel bag, coke to the brain
Will they ever find the vaccine?
Shitty, damn, damn, baby, bang
Rich man got the double barrel
Po' man got his back to the door
Code white stands for trouble
Shots from the po-po (Blap, blap)
