Lyrics
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Flirt with the devil, on pound cakes
Hanging with rebels, you won't say
Residing in limbo like dante
Dance on rainbow, on Bombay
Wearing these labels, a wild phase
Connect with no cables, I might stay
Horses and stables, we all pray
Tearing these fables, a ball game
Visualize moments we on the logs
Higher process, roaming on our laws
Act of violence on my Logan Paul
Gimme silence, as I nurture awe
Shawties wildin', what you screaming for?
We aligning, while these niggas fall
Pairs of diamonds, pull up with no flaws
Love the gang, wavy with the dawgs
On the green how we see it all
Very clean, cause I heed the call
Kerosene, finna' burn em' all
She ride with ease, on my analogue
LaFamilia need a synagogue
So familiar with the catalogues
Young gods, heavy dialogue
Quotables from my monologue
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
More vapor in the bloodstreams
Allocator, on a high beam
Nothing greater, going upstream
New dictators, in that one team
Minor majors, going extreme
Rolling papers, this our vaccine
Respirators on the colour schemes
Terminators drinking moonbeam
Emulate us, maybe you'd see
Wild sauce, dragging loosely
All floss, never Sushi, coin toss, getting groovy
Double crossed, like a movie
Like a boss Yamaguchi, little loss, getting juicy
Never lost, just salute me
Wading in ocean, this permanent
Back on my notion, so fortunate
Homie, we sloping, no arrogance
Never get sloppy, my element
Wading in ocean, this permanent
Back on my notion, so fortunate, homie
We sloping, no arrogance, never get sloppy, my element
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
Villie boy pull up by the block
Flip flops, and the white socks
No sleep, let the dream talk
Wavy got me feeling like Pac
