Google’s not helping so I’m obviously misspelling or mis-hearing something re this snip of lyrics. This song was very popular and still gets decent airplay. Overheard on XM radio 90’s channel.

“Fantastic Voyage” by Coolio. What you’re hearing is the radio edit. It’s “drive-by killas” to rhyme with “snitch-ass niggas” in the studio cut.
