fa shizzle my nizzle
used to dribble
down in V.A.
Was hurtin' 'em
in the home of the
turbans got it dirt cheap
for them
Plus if they was short
with cheese I would
work with them
Brought in weed
got rid of that dirt
for them
wasn't born hustlers
I was birthin' 'em

keep my arms so freezy
Can't leave rap alone
the game needs me
haters want me clapped
and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me
D.A.'s wanna box me in
but somehow
I beat them charges
like Rocky

I do this for my culture
to let 'em know what
a nigga look like when
a nigga in a roaster
Show 'em how to move
in a room full of vultures
industry shady it need
to be taken over
Label owners hate me
I'm raisin' the status quo
up I'm overchargin'
niggaz for what they
did to the Cold Crush
Pay us like you owe us
for all the years that
you hoed us we could
talk but money talks
so talk mo' bucks

Yeah Hov' is back
life stories told
through rap
niggaz actin' like
I sold you crack
Like I told you
to sell drugs
no Hov' did that
so hopefully you wouldn't
have to go through that
I was raised in the
projects roaches and rats
smokers out back
sellin' their mama's sofa
Lookouts on the corner
focused on the ave
ladies in the window
focused on the kinfolk
Me under a lamp post
why I got my hand closed?
Cracks in my palm
watchin' the long arm
of the law
So you know I've seen
it all before
I seen hoop dreams
deflate like a true
fiend's weight
To try and to fail
the two things I hate
succeed in this rap game
the two things
that's great
H to the Izz-o
V to the Izz-a
