City of kings in ya mouth
Yeah yeah

Y y y y y yeah
C'mon
Oh boy
You know I'm feelin you get up out the dance flo'
The radio don't play this
You know what I'm sayin Dj's just playin that retarded
This is Sevin right here mane
[Sevin]
Yeah yeah
I hit the club with the Jag on the bubbles
Dip out chipped like a bag full of ruffles
Tag on the chuckles
44 mag on the buckle
Cuz I done went bad on a couple
Gold State, we go ape, drag the knuckles
Fresh off the ave, never lagged on the hustle
Hugging the photos they lovin' the swagger
Aw yeah the Hog’s here doesn’t it matter
Why would I ever leave the club with a straggler
Keep it G hog, sloan throw my government at her
We slot machinin’ gang of change
I drop N’ lean on them Dana Dane’s
My dime el’s lookin like tangerines
Ice flarin' while they starin at my chain it hangs
Doin my thang and I brought in a gang of gangs
Marsupials, orangutans
Chorus:
These suckers in the club gon' hate us
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
Ya'll losers over there can't fade us
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
Drop ya low lows, yoke ya scrapers
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
I'm with the Kings, the Giants, the Raiders
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
[????]
Cars in front of the strip
Dreadlocks with them skittle tips
River girls, three or four chicks
Their glasses bigger than their face and this
Beat slaps back turn it up
Hennessy straight man no 7-Up
I'm a squirrel in the world tryin to bust a nut
Hella girls go down when the car pull up
Ta-dow dustin off my shirt
Like I play for the Giants and I just stole third
When I leave they be wantin' to roll
Red light, green light that's when I go
A donkey a monkey, ape gorilla
Silverback on this track makin' scrilla
A donkey a monkey, ape gorilla
Silverback on this track makin' scrilla
Chorus:
These suckers in the club gon' hate us
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
Ya'll losers over there can't fade us
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
Drop ya low lows, yoke ya scrapers
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
I'm with the Kings, the Giants, the Raiders
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
[Sevin]
I ain’t hard to find, catch me at the top of the hill
I remain that way cuz I ain’t poppin' the pill
Down for life homeboy I can’t cop in the bill
So keep sockin' ya grill if you can’t talk in the real
Fo shilla, you know none who’s mo’ illa
From the straight slum this way comes a gorilla
Uh, pound ya chest like Mighty Joe
“I know he sick but he ain’t ever lose his mind befo’”
Write a flow with a glow that could blind ya soul
Still smooth like the step move in ‘94
The slab booms we the baboons in animalville
We got stacks to move, bananas to peel
Let the amps blow, step to the dance flo’
This ain’t for them haters homeboy Ben Davis is what you in tho
Jungle, it’s the way we be, A-P-E, bouncing like I got A.D.D
Yuh yuh!
Chorus:
These suckers in the club gon' hate us
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
Ya'll losers over there can't fade us
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
Drop ya low lows, yoke ya scrapers
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
I'm with the Kings, the Giants, the Raiders
We go ape but they call it Ben Davis
