From a small ass little tadpole swimmin in a fallopian To a fixture on my soil, a stand up type a I was up in the crack game dealin and pushin that stuff Arguing my folkers cause we loved eachother so much Ditchin and dodgin the rollers, grippin the real tuff Strikin and scootin them 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 shootin craps
You you know, but you really don't have no idea Listen to discography of E40, real talk for ago, way before I even had a career I got my nickname on the turf for drinking beer And never letting the cats up in my hood pump fear Funkin with my own soil, here Jealous cause we had all the broads and all the Up the ladder I'm tryin to climb, game than a porcupine spine Don't nothing, I'ma work for mine, try and grind, grit and grind Hot ones echo through the ghetto, all the time I thank the Lord for me the gift to spit this rhyme
A loaf of bread, a stick of butter and milk Around the corner from the spot all the dealers dealt and tribul-i-zations, me and my peopl-i-zations Tryin to get this music off the ground high ass expectations Took a time and patience, a little faith in God To make a long story short, look at me now I'm doing it chubby like the checker, chunky the soup A de- a decade and a half and in the loop In case you suckers know, I told you once before I ain't rapping too fast, see y'all just too slow I paved the way for the grind The industry they me, but don't wanna gimme mine
