- "I've finished my work now its time to cop
And meet that Chinese lady at the baggage spot

Ya'll niggas can't rap ya'll ain't got no money
Broke ass niggas

I did that just cause the playoffs is right now"
A way of abbreviating LT's for low tops when talking about shoes, because on a phones number pad (the ones where the number 2 has abc on it for all you smartphone owners) instead of typing low tops, you can type LT's or abbreviate it further by saying 58's the numbers with L and T. this definition was started in WL, MI in sumer of 2010
