when addressin the mass public My attitude is it cause mother ers love it Got a
chip on my shoulder the size of the Golden Nugget in Vegas And bein famous
I came to get the butters I came from the gutter
my success in this game is sort of like "Pro-jectic Justice," a payment for brushes with police officers
a peace offering From the Gods for the streets I was tossed in Til I m deceased in a coffin I ma be a beast on these beats
releasin early and often Please
your disdain for the brothers ain t gon change the numbers It s the strengthenin of chain among us Please
we ain t afraid of none of yas
who want it with us? Ain t nuttin changed since the ninety-six summers

you know what I think? (I think they ve lost their minds) They say success breeds envy I guess it s just the penalty of leadership I guess I m what niggaz wanna be and shit Or niggaz just bored
wanna be in shit Fore they get to rappin
start believin it Think they Ali and shit I roll with the punches so I survive I bob and weave
move my feet from side to side I m back
stronger than ever
surprise surprise They try to take me out the game
but I s alive It s like a old negro spiritual
but I mastered Tobey With a splash of Monster Kody
shoot faster than Kobe
nigga You s know me
the one and only Big homey from the Roc
I think you pastors lonely You need Jesus in your life..
it s either that or y all gon make me put the double Desert Eagles in your life
nigga! (Some people hate!) I know niggaz are hatin man
let me find out (Some people hate!) Jealousy s a weak emotion
y all gotta overcome that man (Some people kill their brothers) C mon man be stronger than that..
you know what I think? (I think they ve lost their minds) You ll be aight though Au contraire nigga
I am here cause I earned the shit By ridin out
when niggaz had learner s permit We bring the knives out
or we let them burners spit I bring them pies out if niggaz wanna burn the strip Bring your rides out
bring your buggy eyes out
turn your 6 I laid back in the (?) Nigga this the payback
I know you bitch niggaz from way back Niggaz wanna clown but the pound it don t play dat Get yourself found
drowned
where the lake at Run up on em +Notoriously+
"Take that!" (take that) And then we comin where your wake at Eight maniac cats strapped with gats
