[03:04.81]A slow transition from a lil broke n-gga from the Ville,
[03:07.60]Got a deal a real life saver,
[03:09.17]Dreams of being behind the wheel like Jada,
[03:11.61]I chill now a lil ice later, Cole you go the glow like a lil lightsaber,
[03:15.70]So clap for him, then applaud Hov, he gave em a plat for him,
