8Ball & MJG Lyrics

I'm just a drop top flippin', flippin'
I am cruising in a convertible with the top down.

Fifth of Yacht sippin', sippin'
I am drinking from a fifth of expensive Yacht alcohol.

Dope crack that's going in the strip clubs tippin'
I have money that is being used to tip dancers at strip clubs, earned from dealing drugs.

MJG ah, P.I.M.P. ah
I am a pimp, known by my initials.

Fuck a blind date, oh no, I got to see her
I don't do blind dates, I need to see the woman first.

The new millennium poet
I am a modern poet using contemporary language.

Forever show it, can't blow it
I will always showcase my talent and never give up on it.

If you reap it, you sow it
If you put in the work, you will see the results.

I, pay my, dues
I have worked hard and paid my dues to get where I am.

And it's the rules that I play by
I follow the rules to succeed.

Carry the team like I'm A.I
I am the team's main player like Allen Iverson.

I used to cook rocks, and hit the block
I used to sell drugs on the streets.

And gun in the bushes, and money in my sock
I used to hide guns in bushes and money in my socks as a drug dealer.

Shit, I had hoes way before I was nationally famous
I had women before I became famous across the country.

I was in the hood strapped up good
I was equipped with weapons in the dangerous neighborhood.

Watchin' my anus
I was keeping an eye out for danger and trouble.

I'm a target splitter
I'm a skilled fighter and able to hit my target.

The world strongest man hardest hitter
I am one of the strongest and most powerful men in the world.

Even though you hate
Despite someone's hatred towards me.

I still elevate regardless nigga
I still succeed and rise to the top, regardless of their negative opinion.

Step to us boy, look what you done started
Do not mess with us, you have no idea what you have started.

And we don't even care that your arsenal be the largest
We are not intimidated even if you have a big and powerful weapon.

Look, you niggaz play too much mayne
You play too much and need to stop.

You need to pump yo' brakes
You need to slow down and calm yourself.

Keep a heater nigga need for them restless snakes
Carry a gun for protection against dangerous people.

Right in my face caught a case tryin' to defend my space
I was arrested for defending myself in a physical confrontation.

Dodging snitches police niggaz jumping state to state
I am avoiding informants and corrupt cops by moving from state to state.

What kind of nigga run his mouth and snitch out everybody?
Who is the type of person to talk and betray everyone?

The kind of nigga that's gone end up being a dead body
That person will most likely end up dead for their actions.

Yo' wife and children gone be searching for their dear ol' daddy
The family of the deceased will be looking for their missing father or husband.

They found his headless body tied up in a dark alley
The person who betrayed others was murdered and their body was dumped in a dark alley.

I was torn this bitch came from the streets I was born
I was struggling when this woman from my neighborhood helped me.

Pussy like a little kitty back yellow as corn
She has light yellow skin and a petite body.

I don't go around poppin' shit wit' niggaz who talkin'
I don't engage with people who just talk and have no action.

Them niggaz ain't talkin' no more
Those guys who talk too much are now silent.

Closed coffin
Their funeral is closed casket because they were badly hurt or disfigured.

Not often do you see a nigga loyal as I
It's rare to find someone as loyal to their friends as I am.

Like that boy from Best Eye nigga ready to die
Like the movie character from Boys n the Hood, I am prepared to die for what I believe in.

For my bread and them niggaz that considered me family
I will fight for my money and those who treat me like family.

Hold it down mayne I got you til we up there wit' granny
I will always have your back and remain loyal until we are both dead.

Cause as soon as I start writing
When I begin to write lyrics,

I start going through physical
It takes a physical toll on me.

Deeper into my spiritual
But it also goes deeper into my spiritual self.

I'm so fuckin' lyrical
I am incredibly talented at writing lyrics.

MJG the realest the truth the definition
I am a true and genuine person, embodying the very definition of authenticity.

Just call me the competition
People see me as a competitor in the music industry.

I'm still stomping and pimpin'
I am still successful and thriving as a pimp and musician.

I'm still working with Diddy, still fuck wit the hood
I am still collaborating with P. Diddy and still stay connected to my roots in the community.

I got the key to the city, the streets is all good
I have earned the respect and admiration of my city and the streets are in harmony.

My leather is all wood, my gun is still secluded
My car seats are made of wood and my gun is still hidden from sight.

I'm still hoping and praying to God I don't use it
I am hopeful that I never have to use my gun and am praying for a peaceful existence.

When it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
When a situation gets intense or dangerous, it becomes very real.

When it's on, you better get your shit and be gone
When things get real, it's time to leave quickly and take only what you need.

When it's on, you better get your shit and be gone
When things get real, it's time to leave quickly and take only what you need.

When it's on, you better get your shit and be gone
When things get real, it's time to leave quickly and take only what you need.

When it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
When a situation gets intense or dangerous, it becomes very real.

When it's on, you better get your shit and be gone
When things get real, it's time to leave quickly and take only what you need.

When it's on, it's on, it's on, it's on
When a situation gets intense or dangerous, it becomes very real.

When it's on, you better get your shit and be gone
When things get real, it's time to leave quickly and take only what you need.

P. Diddy talking
Interlude with P. Diddy talking.
