I will dedicate all my rap music to the people in the hood.

Recording projects in the projects, where the fuck is the stu'
I record my music in the low-income housing projects, but I can't find a recording studio.

My neighbors know this shit from top to bottom
My neighbors are very familiar with my music and know it inside out.

Got'ah, got'em to master volume, they play fucking problems on repeat
I have convinced my neighbors to turn up the volume and they constantly play my song 'Problems' on repeat.

Fuck the neighbors, I'm a neighborhood, fuck them to they sleep
I don't care about the neighbors' opinions, I am the embodiment of the neighborhood, and they can ignore me until they fall asleep.

Bass on ten, BlackBerry no author, when it goes off I dreamed about being Sean Carter
I have the bass turned up to the maximum volume, and when my BlackBerry phone rings, it reminds me of my dream to be as successful as Jay-Z (Sean Carter).

Even meeting him, walking in his office
If I had the opportunity to meet Jay-Z and walk into his office, it would be a surreal experience.

My music is not a copy of Jay-Z's 'Blueprint,' it is a new and unique style.

Watching Ye' interviews, like this how Imma do it
I watch Kanye West's interviews and learn from him, thinking about how I will approach my own career.

You know you a loser when they saying,"at least you tried"
When people start praising your effort rather than your actual achievement, it's a sign that you are seen as a loser.

Thought a few new records might even change they mind
