Ahh.. laced up by the best, check it out..
Uhh, marinatin on the corner with a chip in his phone
You can tell that the hillside was his home
Mo scrill than the rest of the pushers
Cause he got a chop suey in the bushes
Dice game, craps, puffin on taylors drinkin boilermakers
M.d. 20/20 mixed with boones, farms, and olde english
Around the clock, deuce-four-seven, three-sixty-fifth
(? ? ) where I come (? ? ) dead right, twerkin over shit
Business boomin off the buzzer, and Im a happy camper
Til the homey beat his bootch down for no reason with the zenith hammer
Thangs started gettin sloppy, dude started rollin over
Niggaz started steppin on dope and stretchin the crack synthetic yola
Turf got hot hella heads got shot on dead body soil
Po-pos on that ass like hot baby oil
Play your cards right son everybody can have cash
But you gotta get in and out if you expect em to last

I was sprinkled at a young age
Laced down with trump tight, taught by the best
Some of them still livin, some of them done been put to rest
But I was blessed, and luckily I made it out
But I must confess, I wouldnta made it without
The big timers, the top-hats, the tycoons
The street hustlers, the pistol packin daniel boones
That put it down and paved the way, for me to say
The things I say, and Im proud to be straight from the yay
To u.k.(? ) I spits this big time talkin shit all day
Nationwide, from where I stay to where you stay
B like the savage beast, keep yo game creased
Stick to the rules and dont be sellin out to no police
I always paid attention when the game was preached
Had all the street slang and the latest speech
And now Im makin more mail than a oil well
Up all night tryin to get my money orders right

It started from my momma (yo momma? ) hard headed and all
She said, only the strong survive, suga stay strong
Seein a bunch of fools, that used to ride
Smob, stay jobbin knew they was raw
Without a pot to piss in
Used to drive through the turf in them candy paint benzes
Ive run all this game that the hustlers pop
Spittin enough game to keep a notch on the jock
Now the games the same, but the players changed
Aint nothin but a thang, keep it real mayne
Timer timer (timer timer)
Uhh, yeah, thats my nogga - sprinkle thee
Paper chasin steady flowin to the dome
It aint no place like home, oooh oooh
Pay my respects and give my contributions
To all the soldiers on the streets and in the institutions
