From a small ass little tadpole swimmin in a fallopian To a fixture on my soil, a stand up type a I was brought up in the crack game and pushin that stuff Arguing with my cause we loved eachother so much Ditchin and dodgin the rollers, grippin the block 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 Magazine camp Posted up like thumbtacks, on faulty big backs Motorola, A1 yola, glad bag Tic Tacs In the mean time, in between time, in my spare time writin In the yard, in the driveway, on the concrete shootin craps
You you know, but you really don't have no idea Listen to discography of E40, real for real Moons ago, way I even had a career I got my nickname on the turf for hecka beer And letting the older cats up in my hood pump fear Funkin my own soil, listen here cause we had all the broads and all the gear Up the ladder I'm tryin to climb, game sharper than a spine gimme nothing, I'ma work for mine, try and grind, grit and grind Hot ones echo through the ghetto, funkin all the I the Lord for giving me the gift to spit this rhyme
