   Yep, yep big trucker man's rollin' in town
   How ya do, how ya do
   I got the joints to make ya...(JUMP!)
   Because I'm headin' eastbound
   Tired of the merry go round and around
   And everybody's talkin' bout you're so funny
   But they still tellin' lies to me
   I got the trees in my backyard
   And it's hard for them to tell a lie to me
   And who's the foot, I'm the foot but who's steppin'
   (Ain't no half steppin')
   You know where I'm steppin'
   Skirts play wit it cause I'm slick like that
   I'm the greatest MC in the world!!
   You gots to gimme gimme mine cause I'm heavy when I weigh it
   Watch the way I say it (ego trip)
   Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
   I never did it
   The flavor's bein' butt but brothers ain't gettin' it
   Get it; or else you're a goner
   When I rolls over ya gonna have to wanna lamp
   Cause it's the chattanooga champ
   Takin' a train...Takin' a train...Takin' a train...Takin' a train...

   Well I'm a better brand cause I'm a superman
   I run the block with my circle cause I'm nubian
