歌手: Z-Ro
时长: 03:30
Bout time, they opened up the do' for Z-Ro [00:00:19]
Cause I've been dropping hits, since ten years ago [00:00:21]
Trying to do it legal, and not slang yayo [00:00:23]
If I can't get it legal, to the corner I go [00:00:26]
I never took pride, in slanging coc*ine [00:00:28]
Never could get a job, but needed some mo' change [00:00:33]
C.d.'s wasn't selling, because I had no name [00:00:34]
Nothing but a t-shirt, no piece no chain [00:00:36]
Too many times, I was ready to give up [00:00:38]
Run up in a bank, and say this is a stick-up [00:00:41]
Put my pain on records, and record sales picked up [00:00:43]
The tears I done shed, led me to the big bucks [00:00:45]
2000 and 4, I ain't broke no mo' [00:00:48]
Cause God is my life jacket, when I sink solo [00:00:50]
I went to a hundred thousand, from a whole fo' [00:00:52]
So all you haters hate me, as I make a little mo' [00:00:55]
I'm going platinum this time, (this time-this time) [00:00:58]
I think you fellas, better respect my mind (mind-mind) [00:01:02]
I'm here to collect my pennies, my nickels and my dimes (my dimes-my dimes) [00:01:07]
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine (shine-shine) [00:01:11]
They got me living in a '56, Mass L [00:01:16]
My locker full of commsary, and my fan mail [00:01:19]
My city saying Z-Ro, what you gon do when you get out of jail [00:01:21]
I can't do no mo' pyrexes, no mo' scales [00:01:24]
Trying to make a million dollas, off my melody [00:01:26]
Couldn't see it coming, so I caught a state-jail felony [00:01:29]
F-1 bunk twelve, there resides the stars [00:01:31]
Special thanks to love, cause "I Hate U B**ch" climbed me to the top of the charts [00:01:33]
Being free, is like being on lock [00:01:36]
Niggaz still kick it with ya, but try to get some of what ya got [00:01:38]
I ain't never seen, so many feminine men [00:01:40]
Swear to God they holding in the world, but ain't nobody seeing dividends [00:01:43]
That ain't the life of me, I had to get it [00:01:46]
Might not be rich in the present, but I'ma be rich in a minute [00:01:48]
Cause I got three Cuzos sitting up high, rolling 24's [00:01:50]
Screaming A.B.N. get in the do', waiting for Ro [00:01:52]
I'm going platinum this time, (this time-this time) [00:01:56]
I think you fellas, better respect my mind (mind-mind) [00:02:00]
I'm here to collect my pennies, my nickels and my dimes (my dimes-my dimes) [00:02:05]
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine (shine-shine) [00:02:10]
Jealousy and envy, play a major role [00:02:14]
Everytime a playa, try to get his pockets swoll [00:02:16]
Somebody said I did this, and said I did that [00:02:19]
Even told homicide, I pushed the homie's wig back [00:02:21]
They don't wanna see, a ni**a make it out of poverty [00:02:24]
When will they realize, God is running with me ain't no stopping me [00:02:26]
Probably never will, so keep on trying [00:02:29]
You can clip my wings, but I see happiness in the sky so I'ma keep on flying [00:02:30]
Until I find, a rested place [00:02:34]
So many battle scars, blood on my chest and face [00:02:36]
Whether I'm working or rapping 24/7, me and Satan be scrapping [00:02:38]
He want my soul, but I ain't gon let it happen [00:02:41]
Even if I lose my life, trying to chase my dream [00:02:43]
Whoever do me, gon have hell when they face my team [00:02:46]
I got them same three Cuzos holding me down, if I ain't coming back [00:02:48]
Bet they bury me with g-stacks, plus a platinum plack[00:02:52]
I'm going platinum this time, (this time-this time) [00:02:54]
I think you fellas, better respect my mind (mind-mind) [00:02:58]
I'm here to collect my pennies, my nickels and my dimes (my dimes-my dimes) [00:03:02]
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine (shine-shine) [00:03:07]
I'm going platinum this time, (this time-this time) [00:03:13]
I think you fellas, better respect my mind (mind-mind) [00:03:17]
I'm here to collect my pennies, my nickels and my dimes (my dimes-my dimes) [00:03:22]
And ain't nobody gonna block out my shine (shine-shine) [00:03:27]
