[Chorus]

Down by the river and the hanky panky

My bro got shot by the bank-de-panky

And I damn near cried 'bout my homies outside

And everybody ducked when the truck rolled by

Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mothers won't see they sons no mo'

And I been up fo' 3 nights in a row

Thinkin' 'bout them gold bullets out that passenger door

Down by the river and the hanky panky

My bro got shot by the bank-de-panky

And I damn near cried 'bout my homies outside

And everybody ducked when the truck rolled by

Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mothers won't see they sons no mo'

Gold bullet shells out the passenger door

I just looked at my nigga like "dawg"

[Verse 1]

See I was raised in the CMD streets

All my friends was runnin' through the rubber bands

It was rough growin' up in the East

We was broke but now we do the money dance

'Fore the iPhone I had a Tracfone

The Lil Wayne song was the ringtone

Can I tell you a lil' story from the heart one time

'Cause you know it get dark sometimes

See my big cous' used to sell cocaine

He was so in love with the drug game

Used to pull bitches at the car wash

Used to bust traps at the Wawa

You know homie stay with the ocho

Young nigga runnin' 'round loco

But he say he tryna move out the hood soon

Got a seed on the way, tryna get low but

One day he forgot his gun

Couple niggas went fast, asked what hood he was from

Stood up, tried to run cause he knew what it was

3 shots in his back left his face in the mud

And I still remember when I got that call

Tears in my eyes bloody knuckles to the wall

But my homies outside told me "hop in the ride"

They got guns on they thighs (oh my)

Oh my, I spy with my little eye

Five niggas and they music on blast

All wearing flags so my niggas hit the gas

Fuckin' blood bath when the truck rolled past

Coolant in the street, dead bodies on the ave

Heart beatin' fast but my niggas just laughed

And we ran a red light, drove off in the night

And I ain't ever been so scared in my life

I remember it was...

[Chorus]

Down by the river and the hanky panky

My bro got shot by the bank-de-panky

And I damn near cried 'bout my homies outside

And everybody ducked when the truck rolled by

Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mothers won't see they sons no mo'

And I been up fo' 3 nights in a row

Thinkin' 'bout them gold bullets out that passenger door

Down by the river and the hanky panky

My bro got shot by the bank-de-panky

And I damn near cried 'bout my homies outside

And everybody ducked when the truck rolled by

Like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 mothers won't see they sons no more

Gold bullet shells out the passenger door

I just looked at my nigga like "dawg, let me out"
