The new version was more fast-paced, and interpolates the original with the lines: "Yeah, Grew on 50 Avenue, tweakers layed up next to dude/Need a bigger revenue, so I stay tryna sell to you/****** always testin' me, so I stay with the .32/You can't hang with bros and me, 'cause we gon' blast that .22/You knew *****, I said you knew/I turn heads when I, roll through yeah/You know I'm with, with the crew yeah/Circle small, so it''s just 2 times 2, yeah". Mosey and David then decided to remake the song. The original version is still available through SoundCloud, and Mosey's YouTube channel. [5] [6]
