Kelis said her milkshake bring all the boys to the yard
Then Nas went and tattooed the bitch on his arm
I mean like way out in Cali, homies know you cuz
First thing they say about you, you'se a sucka for love
This is chest, not checkers, these is warning shots
After your next move i give you what i got.
