8Ball Lyrics

Weeblelations testin' testin' testin' testin'
Testing, testing, testing, testing

Hey turn my mic up this a bitch I got my dudes up in this mutha fucka
Turn up my microphone because I have my crew with me

That boy 8ball 4-tay speese-weeze spice-weeze ya smell me?
Do you hear the fast flow of 8ball and 4-tay's rap style?

It's e-feeze muthafuckas ain't understandin' the signs of this
People aren't recognizing the message in my lyrics

I cuss a mutha fucka out
I curse people out

Niggas gon' be feelin' what I'm revealin'
People will relate to and feel what I am saying

Tryin' to do some healin' an' at the same time make a million
I am trying to make positive change while also making money

Vibrate love an' happiness in this ghetto maze
Spreading positive energy in the tough urban area

Hate us playaz got this ryhme stayin' in a rage
People who dislike us keep our music aggressive

Kill wit a pill broke game like Nintendo
Metaphorically killing with lyrics and comparing it to winning in a Nintendo game

Three hours an' fourty-four minutes straight to frisco
Driving from one place to another in California, specifically San Francisco

Bumpin' the rappin' 4-tayzee baby
Listening to rapper Rappin' 4-tay

Me an' 40 water in the big body Mercedes
Driving in a large Mercedes-Benz with two other rappers

Four hundred five hundred v-12 black coupe
Describing a sporty and luxurious car

None of my weebles wake that Barkley comin' out the roof
None of the people with me are surprised by the expensive car

Choppin' major game on the strength
Talking about success and accomplishments

Man we goes back juss like them splinters an' 'em temps uh
We have a long-standing relationship

Met this bitch that was in Houston said she was from Houston though
Meeting a woman who claims to be from the same place but not truly being from there

Said her profession just was stackin' major paper roll
Claiming to earn a lot of money through some profession

First at times it seems gold credit cards we kiss that ass
Starting with nothing and then being able to enjoy life's luxuries

Went from bennies to bossalini's collectin' cash
Going from small earnings to collecting large sums of money

They whistlin' I'm glistin' like Sammy Davis
People are admiring me as I shine with jewelry like Sammy Davis Jr.

Born an' raised in the bay them hataz can't fade us
Being proud of being born and raised in the Bay Area despite negativity from critics

I am the rapper that they call 4-tay
Introducing himself as Rapper 4-tay

360 degrees they can't fade the yay fool
Dominating in every direction in the rap game

Fuckin' off in the bay wit some crazy niggas
Having fun with some wild friends in the Bay Area

Gettin' drunk gettin' high so they saved ya nigga
Friends took care of him when he got too drunk or high

From the bottom of the stream to the top of the mountain
Going from the lowest point in life to the highest peak

In the 'o' straight clownin' talkin' 'bout what's goin' down
Being silly and joking around while discussing current events in the town

An' these niggas feelin' me soakin' up the love I give
People appreciate and relate to him and his music

Nigga all of us got kids an' only got one life to live
We all have children and only one life to live

But sometimes that shit don't matta
Sometimes the problems of life don't matter

Animosity can lead we to ratta-tatta splatta
Jealousy and anger can lead to violence

All over shit leavin' tricks motionless
Violently leaving enemies unconscious

Drinkin' blood like I been spittin' fire like kiss
Metaphorically becoming powerful through violence and aggression

The only nigga sick as this behind me
The only person with a style similar to his is behind him (spice)

Is the gangsta s p I c e
Referring to the artist named Spice

(Yeah smell me yo)
Confirming if people listening can hear and understand him

Five albums in the game 500 benzo in my name
Having five successful albums and owning a Mercedes-Benz car

Five niggas in a bucket five zig-zags to the brain
Five people together smoking marijuana, with five zig-zag rolling papers used to make joints

To the greedy lil' paper I'm on the mtv news
Being in the news for earning a lot of money

I'm havin' slugs fo shistey niggas tryin' ta give me the blues
Being prepared to fight people trying to bring him down

I ain't a muthafucker Italian but my crew run like the mafia
Comparing his crew to the powerful Italian mafia despite not being Italian

An' me bossalini freddy chico chanelle shit
Listing names in his crew

Met a couple of incidents where some niggas tried to kill me
Having faced near-death experiences by enemies in the past

Just a part of the game jealous niggas out fo' fame
Jealous people wanting attention and fame can turn dangerous

But when they runnin' up on this muthafuckin' don
When they come after him as a leader

They catchin' pieces of shit hot slugs from a nigga
The enemies will face violent repercussions from him

That's fresh out on bail
Just released from prison

Long time comin' baby somewhere off in the hills
A long time in the making, in hiding somewhere remote from the city

Me an' 40 waters choppin' it up keep or kill
Having a conversation about choices in life

On the real about this underground lifestyle
Talking truthfully about the lifestyle of underground rap artists

Intoxicated an' always heavily sedated
Influenced by alcohol and drugs, often in a state of sedation

Bank's rocks the beat I grab the mic an' bust
DJ Bank provides the music, while 8ball raps over it

Turn into a monster eatin' weak mc's up
Metaphorically becoming a monster by overpowering and defeating weaker rappers

Smokin' trees up pinnin' hoes knees up
Smoking marijuana and indulging in sexual activities

Feds wouldn't ease up had to put the keys up
Being pursued by the authorities and having to stop or hide what he was doing

Findin' Jesus prayin' fo the weak
Looking for guidance and praying for others who are less fortunate

Hopin' somebody's on they knees prayin' fo' me
Hoping that someone is praying for him

In the midnight hour somewhere on them drugs
Being under the influence of drugs in the late night

In a room full 'o thugs 40' tell 'em how it was
In a crowd of dangerous people, 40 tells stories about his past

They shot my mama's house up back in 1992
Mentioning a traumatic event when his mother's house was attacked

I keep goin' back an' play possum like I don't know who
Pretending to be naive and unaware of who was responsible

If I knew who? what? when? where an' how?
Asking rhetorical questions about the events

If I knew back then would I know now?
Wondering if knowing what he knows now, would prevent past events

The rap game ain't never gon' be decreasin'
The popularity and success of rap music will never decline

The only thing the rap game gon' keep on doin' is increasin'
The popularity and success of rap music will keep growing

And there will be no over night sensations them 40 8ball mjg
Success in the rap game won't happen overnight, even for experienced artists like 8ball, MJG, and 40

Only drip we been layin' it down since trout season
Consistency has been the key to success

Now all of a sudden I look good as Toni Braxton
Becoming successful and looking good

In a white house wit toys of traction
Having a big beautiful house with many luxurious things

Up-percussion ya may wanna take a second look
Warning people to take a closer look at the posessions he has acquired

You can find me in the Florida designs book
Being famous and wealthy enough to be featured in a book about Florida's luxury lifestyle

The hall of game is a 420 wit chrome rims all day
Being celebrated and respected in the rap game and owning a car with chrome rims

Parked up on ?
The name of the street or location where a car is parked remains unsaid

Shit this ain't none of that only reason I'm doin' a song wit dude
Acknowledging that he doesn't often collaborate with other artists but has done so this time with 4-tay

An 'em is 'cuz I want they region recognize game
Collaborating with other artists to make their region known and respected

Game recognize game
Acknowledging and respecting each other's skills and success

360 degrees of game talkin' 'bout game talkin' 'bout game
Discussing and showcasing their knowledge of the rap game in every direction

360 degrees of game wit hella bomb on the brain
Dominating every aspect of the rap game with an abundance of creativity and ideas

A-la la la
End of the song.
