Lamar] Let me you when it all started Game dropped Documentary and plenty enemies It was a album, but prior to that Black debuted and put the city on wax A lot of Biggie comparisons, we all was aware of But that wasn't my M.O., I just thought he was Can't understand why Game would say his in that manner Many went by, still no legitimate answer Anyway, I put out a mixtape in grade Hub City threat, of the year, DJ Dave And his brother designed, put the music Put it out to the people, the people I was stupid With the flow, went to the barbershop to off my skills Mike and Himey and some cat said I was real Himey was barber, the other cat made a statement that Game was his partner, so I gave him my tape Said he'd play it for him, hoping that I'd get my big But got a response.. anyway This named ?Pop Givs? came to my school with a camera I on his DVD for a minute then after It hit the streets, I was as K. Dot from Compton Man Hootie was the youngest out that was poppin' But I didn't have a home yet, had ? in me Until I met Top Dawg, told that he'd like to meet Me at the studio, made me for an hour me come back tomorrow, but I came back in a hour Jay Rock was in the booth, recording his mixtape Was skeptical homie at first because he knew I stayed But we got over that, heard the beat, a rap Did our first collaboration on the track He got months later, Warner Brothers We started on his album, he wrote his rhymes on Before Sidekicks a modern day phone time our buzz was generated from G Malone He had a song called 200, White Lightnin, the loved it that Sony had gave him an unbelievable budget Now that's a smart nigga, I'm make my raps bigger than life But not knowing how to market it on the radio Only cat he knew the West Coast was playin' was Bishop And by then this nigga' buzz was In the lab, me and Rock tryna our craft What the fuck? Next thing you know, we across Lift Me Up It was a hit I heard it But all we had was the instrumental and the But Rock on it for certain, it was to smash Gave it to Julio, to get his opinion Next thing you know, the was That was a good look, it set the on fire Niggas in Garden presents Watts Riot Then these rappers hating, callin' up to the station Ask why record ain't playin', what you niggas complaining, about? Shit was to us tho Niggas to see a nigga from the bottom come up, yo In the midst of the single and niggas tryna seek and destroy I had a situation Def Jam, premature Shit went sour after Jay-Z left but they care I was glad gave me respect See I was young, fast forward, hot had the streets on lock Far as play, obvious, he got a lot with Daz Dilinger, Jay Rock spoke on it Which in my opinion, I think the shit was impo'tant But that's a whole 'nother story, we hit the lab Game And a few names like Juice and Young, ya boy Did the cypher freestyle and like, "Wow" These Top Dawg niggas 'bout to noise" Surely Game took us on tour, I love you for that But right after that, we didn't see him no G Malone came a smash hit with Akon Mistah FAB Royce Nickel with napalm Then start to scream out the new West And claim that West legends don't want to see him at best I think that's just an excuse, because their ain't tight 'em that Ab-soul said it, they can quote him twice Then Crooked I came with Weekly, killin' the internet But he been a since Deathrow, then Rocky came about And all I thought was Ab-Soul 2-11-2 It finally started to look like the was makin' moves Western Union had the whole boomin' because of Snoop Matter fact, Bad was my favorite about the group ?Problem? took off, another Compton native We both Compton niggas, but still ain't made it By this time, Jay and All My Life hit the airwaves We almost got into some major over Lil' Wayne That I'mma leave out Theres certain things that the streets only should know out to Nipsey Bishop win that game, then had a with ? That's when I dropped C4 and had the mad at me they didn't see my views, grab the hottest album out and re-do it That's a goddamn power stupid You foolish, don't know about this war shit Theres mo' shit to wanting to be the of the coast shit
