时长: 02:48
Yeah man I remember back when a ni**a ain't[00:00:00]
Had no money for studio time barely [00:00:02]
No muhf**kin' beats we made our own beats[00:00:05]
And sh*t no producers we be like hahah [00:00:07]
Ni**a would do anything he had to do[00:00:12]
To get at this hip-hop sh*t man anything [00:00:14]
Know what I'm sayin' Start beating on the mic like this [00:00:17]
For the drum you know that's the mic [00:00:20]
Niggas would rap about some sh*t they never even f**kin' had [00:00:26]
We wanted that sh*t though [00:00:29]
We be like: "Ridin' on some big wheels [00:00:31]
Bank account 6 mil Livin' on the street called life [00:00:34]
And I'm on that b**ch heel "[00:00:37]
Even though we ain't have no that sh*t man back then [00:00:40]
But we do know though let me get back at it[00:00:42]
Hair trigger big steel quick kill wig peeled[00:00:44]
Rapping about the struggle so vivid you know the sh*t's real[00:00:47]
Empty fridge wasn't even 20 sh*t simply kids[00:00:51]
Not a penny to pitch f**k it we pitchin Henny lids[00:00:54]
To make the pockets bulge can't divulge sh*t we did[00:00:57]
Risky biz type of sh*t that'll get me 50 bids[00:01:00]
Coming of age it wasn't a lick I wasn't down to hit[00:01:03]
I think I knew some Nigerians who used to counterfeit[00:01:06]
Funny money I think I had like 30 pounds of it[00:01:09]
But this is only rap so tell the detectives downtown to quit[00:01:12]
Gotta watch how I speak to the beat[00:01:15]
Cuz I'm on the streets as we speak[00:01:18]
And I won't sleep til we eat[00:01:19]
G code of silence all the secrets we keep[00:01:21]
Could make a movie about it but nah [00:01:24]
We gon' keep it discrete[00:01:26]
But I can rap about going from Virgin to Death Row[00:01:27]
To Em recognizing one of[00:01:30]
The best flows on the West Coast[00:01:32]
And even though I'm blessed [00:01:33]
The vest still on my chest close[00:01:35]
You got the life of this black star[00:01:36]
Backwards like I was Def Mos[00:01:38]
We really out here nah we really out chyeah[00:01:40]
I'm in the zone ni**a I got a long way to go[00:01:46]
But I'd be lying if I said we wasn't on ni**a[00:01:49]
We on ni**a we on ni**a [00:01:53]
We on ni**a we on ni**a[00:01:56]
We on ni**a we on ni**a [00:01:59]
We on ni**a we on ni**a[00:02:02]
We on ni**a we on ni**a [00:02:05]
We on ni**a we on ni**a[00:02:08]
