Once I live a life of a millionaire,
|
Still do!
|
Spending my money, honey ohh I didn't care,
|
Still don't!
|
|
L.L.
|
Imma floss 'til I die, ball never fall
|
Cop 'til I drop, mothaf*%k'em all
|
Count paper Scheemin', leanin on the wall
|
Money comin fast, niggas ridin balls
|
I been to hell and back, I seen what you saw
|
6 in the mornin, D's at the door
|
I was a shorty on a bike, hangin with Alpo
|
I was a shorty uptown with Rich Porter
|
I was a shorty up on 1-3-2
|
My man AZ he really schooled me
|
My man Big Chuck, he took me to Mt. V
|
I messed up the count, Kev winked at me
|
What I learned is niggas need paper to burn
|
And you gotta spread love when cats is f*%ked up
|
You can't be lazy, for niggas that's bad luck
|
Sometimes you move quiet and lay upin the cut (what up)
|
|
(Hook)
|
|
I learned if you talk to much you get that ass shot up
|
Follow your dreams, and watch the cash pile up
|
I used to be in Queens with my man Black Jus
|
Before he got killed, now that nigga was real
|
He took me to the crib, showed me how gangstas live
|
Took me to hot blocks, showed me big knots
|
Him and Richard Porter used to tease me and what not
|
You ain't movin pies, so your car can be fly
|
Used to run to Big Kev before he got knocked
|
When niggas was stuntin and wouldn't let me on the block
|
125th in the Beamer with AZ,
|
He gave a bum 50 dollars that really taught me
|
That being a gangster don't mean you're all bad
|
And niggas respect you when they know you got cash
|
Remember Big dave had the dust on smash?
|
I was amazed the life-style was so fast
|
|
(Hook)
|
|
I remember Remmy showed my his first 8th ki
|
That was before Queens had blood in the street
|
Stretch from BK had the pretty gold Benz
|
He took me out to Brooklyn where he was gettin some ends
|
Let me state this again, I ain't gotta pretend
|
They was playing the money game and I wanted in
|
I was just a young boy with dangerous friends
|
If it wasn't for rap, who knows where I would've been
|
I took a hustlas heart to make the top of the charts
|
Big Chuck when to jail when i was ready to start
|
I guess i was destin, God pulled us apart
|
But I admit, getting that street money is a art
|
I was so many players I knew back in the D
|
Like Cuban Alberto from Mi-ami
|
'86 that niggas Benz had TVs
|
Only God knows what these niggas mean to me
|
Real talk
|
