From a ass little tadpole swimmin in a fallopian tube To a fixture on my soil, a stand up a dude I was brought up in the crack game dealin and that stuff with my folkers cause we loved eachother so much Ditchin and dodgin the rollers, grippin the block real and scootin them Novas and them Chevrolet stepside trucks Me and my Dennel, Kevin, Dalon, and Black Little Ray, Billy, and Ivory and them from the Street camp Posted up like thumbtacks, talking on big backs Motorola, A1 yola, glad bag fulla Tic In the mean time, in between time, in my time writin raps In the front yard, in the driveway, on the concrete shootin
You think you know, but you don't have no idea Listen to of E40, real talk for real Moons ago, way before I had a career I got my on the turf for drinking hecka beer And never the older cats up in my hood pump fear Funkin with my own soil, here Jealous we had all the broads and all the gear Up the ladder I'm tryin to climb, sharper than a porcupine spine gimme nothing, I'ma work for mine, try and grind, grit and grind Hot ones echo through the ghetto, funkin all the I thank the Lord for giving me the gift to this rhyme
A loaf of bread, a stick of butter and milk Around the from the spot where all the dealers dealt and tribul-i-zations, me and my peopl-i-zations Tryin to get this music off the with high ass expectations Took a little time and patience, a faith in God To make a long short, look at me now sahob I'm doing it chubby the checker, chunky like the soup A de- a decade and a half and in the loop In case you suckers didn't know, I told you once I rapping too fast, see y'all just listening too slow I the way for the independent grind The industry mimick me, but don't wanna gimme mine
