Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't want to be a menace
I don't want to be the menace to fuck up your mind again
I don't want to be the menace (Yeah)
I don't want to be the menace
I don't want to be the menace, whoa
I don't want to be the menace to fuck up your mind again
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I told you before I knew it
Girl, I was bein' foolish
I knew that I shouldn't've done it but I did it two times again
I'm sorry
[Verse 3]
I know that you do not want to call me
And I understand it
Can I speak some Spanish te amo my darling babe?
So what if I put weed in my car
And I roll a purple kush?
Right now I'm not feeling good
So I rolled in my hood
Southside, Southsiders for life
You understand that right?
[Verse 4]
I don't want to be the menace
I don't want to be the menace
I don't want to be the menace to fuck up your mind again
Oh, I don't want to be the menace
Oh, I don't want to be the menace
I don't want to be the menace to fuck up your mind again
Your mind again
Your mind again
[Verse 5]
I've been so gone too long so long
My mom's been so worried for so long
Praying on these I know why I've
Been feelin' like this I need to talk
I need to walk away now from you girl these problems
I can't have 'em I can't solve 'em
Feel like I should pull out the revolver
It's fucked how I'm feelin' suicidal
Maybe I should reach for the Bible
I'm still my only rival
[Verse 6]
I don't want to be the menace
Girl, I don't want to be the menace, oh
I don't want to be the menace to fuck up your mind again, oh
Mmm, I don't want to be the menace
Oh, I don't want to be the menace
Oh, I don't want to be the menace to fuck up your mind again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
Oh-oh-ooh-ooh, U-T-U
[Verse 8]
Back then I was able to hit her up like
What are you sayin' though?
She said, I'm coolin' baby
Come through maybe my kung-fu baby
Kick it with a **** come on my Lola
She grabbed Woods we smokin' down by the hour
Sex in the shower it come up for hours
Sex, sex, sex in the city, uh
[Verse 9]
Raw, raw, raw, raw, raw
Bitch I'm, bitch I'm raw, raw, raw, raw
Hold up, hold up, hold up raw, raw, raw, raw
Like I'm motherfuckin' raw, raw, raw, raw
Hold up bitch I'm fuckin' raw hold up raw
Yeah
[Verse 10]
Still in the 6, I'm a rider, yeah
Still in the 6, I'm a rider, yeah, raw
