In hells kitchen with tunnel vision on my road to riches

Like boiling flames on a pilot

Killing it get you smoked like a hybrid

-Try it
Encouraging daring actions but warning of the consequences, using Tyga and Midas references.
Get a taste like tyga
-Try us and get touched like midas
-These streets sing nothing to play with
Highlighting the seriousness of the streets and the potential for violent outcomes, likening friends to mechanics.
They would leave your brains on the pavement
-All my niggas in the hood like mechanics that's doing maintenance
-Stay with a tool and you know that steal stainless
Stressing the preparedness with weapons and alluding to the caliber of ammunition.
Two two threes like two Jordan's no Calvin cambridge
