Ask Permission
[Intro: Paul Wall]
Say man, you don't know what you talkin' about
Shut the fuck up
That's real fuckin' talk, you know what I'm sayin'

[Verse 1: Paul Wall]
If you can't stand the heat, what you in the kitchen for?
All the bait and switch got me thinkin' what you fishin' for
Listen close, you end up missing [?] bro
I'm the type to sip a four, you the type be kissing hoes
I want the cake like it's my birthday, I'm not with the wishing though
Mission for commission, get some dough then get some more
What you gon' do when them gorillas come and kick the door
Make you hit the floor, [?]
Should've asked permission, now you hissing through the [?]
You'll get tied up naked in the dumpster by the liquor store
Position for the scope [?] then I go
My business grow so my wrist and necklace [?] glow
Sit inside [?] twisting dro and gettin' dome
You damn sure [?]
[?] grain grippin', sittin' low
I grind like it's a competition [?] jjjof a pro

[Chorus]
You getting money out here, you gotta ask permission
'Cause violate it and you could be in a bad position
Ain't no telling the drama behind these acquisitions
Blow your head off, Nirvana, don't let 'em catch you slippin'
You getting money out here, you gotta ask permission
'Cause violate it and you could be in a bad position
Ain't no telling the drama behind these acquisitions
Blow your head off, Nirvana, don't let 'em catch you slippin'
[Verse 2: Termanology]
You wanna come to my city you better ask permission
That's tradition, you don't wanna end up getting smacked for living
We cause cataclysms, y'all don't wanna battle with 'em
And don't confuse me with pussy 'cause of my activism
Half of my cousins is really down to go back to prison
Before these rappin' writtens I was moving half of chickens
Mathematicians [?] I be catchin' missions
That's the difference, slip up and end up inside a bad position
Eating forbidden fruit on the island and [?] diamonds
Hawaiian shores and beaches, I'm in jacuzzis smiling
These new horizons got me ready to move in silence
We moving commas, you dancing in every stupid challenge
I'm way too talented to work a nine to five with it
I put them hours in, planted seeds and I showered them
Features I overpowered them, leaning I Eiffel Tower'd them
Devoured them, they proud of them, now they just gotta bother them

[Chorus]
You getting money out here, you gotta ask permission
'Cause violate it and you could be in a bad position
Ain't no telling the drama behind these acquisitions
Blow your head off, Nirvana, don't let 'em catch you slippin'
You getting money out here, you gotta ask permission
'Cause violate it and you could be in a bad position
Ain't no telling the drama behind these acquisitions
Blow your head off, Nirvana, don't let 'em catch you slippin'
