It goes one for the weather, two for the trees
|
Three for the Imapalas, four for the Ds
|
I don't have a job cause I'm employed by the streets
|
I make dope music, my niggas flow to it
|
I bring hope to it, like Ali at the Olympics
|
... Though my vibe is something different
|
It's live and something rhythmic
|
Might remind you of the Tribe or something near it
|
But I strive for something closer
|
I'm more NWA when they was running through the posters
|
Remember popping up your toaster
|
To get your pop-tart to make it back before commercials?
|
And Family Matters was your curfew
|
When it got canceled did it hurt you?
|
I almost crushed up the changer
|
... But I had a crush on Topanga
|
And 36 was the Chambers
|
I wish I knew then that hip-hop was endangered
|
What I wouldn't do to save her
|
(... But why wouldn't you just change her?)
|
I'm all out of tears like I'm M.J. Blige
|
Don't wanna be LeBron or what MJ was
|
Cube go (ooh), and BIG say (ahh)
|
... And yesterday was a good day
|
Drove it to the pad and I'm coastin'
|
New fresh tee, pair of kicks and a Oakland
|
And just yesterday some dude came up and asked me
|
Where I was performing, I told him "nigga that was last week"
|
No question, gave him a handshake and showed this girl some affection
|
So I can run up in her section
|
I'm at Leimert Park, the intersection
|
I really love head and into sexin'
|
And we getting chips like keno
|
And hitting all them girls in skinny jeans that dress emo
|
Live in high-def, no TiVo
|
Ladies love Dom, that blackberry-dash, T-Mo'
|
And she know exactly where I be though
|
Right in front of Earl's, Player's Punch with the Fritos
|
Undefeated cool, so cool like Tebow
|
I should win a Heisman just for rhyming on these beats so
|
Reload, fifteen in the clip
|
Cause I don't want my mom so sick like Ne-Yo
|
My sister found Nemo, I found some old Premo
|
Tell Big I love the do' but I ain't never rolled cee-lo
|
Leimert Park styling, D's with low mileage
|
She is so 'bout it, I am so down if
|
She goes down, goes down like 4s bouncin'
|
And we can get high, get high off four ounces
|
Haha, I boardwalk with four houses
|
All my young niggas waste money, no accountants
|
Views of the marina, bitches know the outcome
|
Urban Outfitter jeans, baby come up out them
|
X with no Malcolm, rose with no stem
|
I lay it on thick, your flow is so thin
|
Like opening my front door, you know I go in
|
Your girl is so wet, she know I'm gon' swim
|
I guess that's the end...
