lyrics
Twelve years old up at the playground
Leave the boys crying in a shakedown
Wheeling dealing ain't no ceiling, draining threes
Wipe away my makeup
You can't tell me it's just a game
Pistol Pete won his name
Not yet fourteen, not your shorty
Scraping five feet, make that varsity
Fast breaking, shaking bacon
Going all the way all the way going all the way all the way to Chiles
You can't tell me it's just a game
Pistol Pete, Pistol Pete won his name
Eighteen now I got to split
The team keeps practicing, I get lit
Deny myself that I'm legit
So I quit so I quit so I quit I quit I quit I quit
But I am legit
I am legit
You can't tell me it's just a game
Pistol Pete, Pistol Pete, Pistol Pete won his name
