But everybody do need to check out

Keep it movin'. Let's go. Whoo!

Yo, what's up with your man?

Who, Rico?

No, I'm talking about this kid

you got running my block for me.

I mean, he's cool and all that.

Don't get me wrong.

Kind of reminds me of you

But the point is,

I don't f***in' need him.

You hot.
