Now, what you say?
I'm walking all over this place, man, ’cause we're having a good time
Well, Cheese sure is funky (Well, go on and do it)

Haha, they give it away (Yeah)
Hey, Pinck, you got your horn in your mouth? (Yeah)

You know, another thing about it, y'all
What I really dig about it, you know
Everybody here, you know, like we’re from down home, we're together
I don't know about Jasaan, though
I think Jasaan's down but he don't wanna tell it (Yeah)
He say he from Ohius
Ain't no such place named as Ohius - I know where Ohio is
Ay, where you from? "I'm from Ohius"
That's like George heard, I'm from Ohius
Where you from, Jab? (Mobile)
You from Mobile? (Yeah)
Well, Mobile Jab, yeah, that's right
But I used to see Jab when we used to play with Bobby, yeah? Yeah
I knew we'd always go to Mobile, you hide
And you say you only get a different room but I know Jab go home
Yeah, he's from Mobile
Where you from, Albert? (Georgia)
What part, man? Georgia got a big...what? Macon
Don't say it so low, bruh, you make me think you don't want people to hear yourself
Fred, where you from? (L.A.)
(Uh-oh, uh-oh, ask him where he started, haha)
What'd you say? (Lower Alabama) Lower Alabama, all right
Yeah, all right, alright, alright
Remind me about Los Angeles
Where you from, uh - you know I keep forgetting this cat name? What your name is, man?
(Jimmy) Oh yeah, I knew it all the time - where you from, Jimmy? (I'm from NC)
What I really dig about it, you know
Everybody here, you know, like we’re from down home, we're together
I don't know about Jasaan, though
I think Jasaan's down but he don't wanna tell it (Yeah)
