  • Jinx from Britain "Your homie Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
    I just whipped up a watch, tryin' to get me a Rover
    Tryin' to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
    Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya
    But, like, 52 cards went out, I'm through dealin'" is about shoting crack cocaine. Using bicarbonate of soda rather than ammonia to "wash up" the coke to free it from its chemical base (freebase" you can add a lot more bicarbonate of soda resulting in a lot more product butIts a fine line between getting more crack from an amount of cocaine or making it bad that people complain.

    So lets someone fix that.
  • Fabio from New Orleans, LaLove this song. Haters won't be bringing me down any longer.

    I know it's been out for years, but I only recently changed from childish anti-obscenity to a teen who can stand obscenities.
