JEALOUSY
B.G Knocc Out Lyrics

Well it's 95 and I'm back on the scene
I have made a comeback to the rap scene in 1995.

Now everybody want to be on a niggas team
Everyone wants to be associated with me because of my success.

I blew up out the clear kickin flava in your ear Rockin shows Knockin hoes Screamin (Party over here!)
I became famous quickly and am delivering great performances.

But behind the scenes Ain't all what it seems Motherfuckers run schemes When it comes to the greens
However, behind the scenes, things are not as they seem, and people try to scheme when it comes to making money.

So by any means I got to do what is necessary If I want to become Legendary In this game my name is the B.G.
I will do whatever it takes to become a legendary rapper, and my name is B.G.

Playin with the boys then O-you-T Nigga still down wit Eazy But now I'm wit my big bro Bouncin' in my 6-fo'
I used to play with the boys, then joined the group O-you-T, now I am with my big brother, and we drive around in my 1964 Chevrolet Impala.

Thought we was put in the twist but ya didn't know That I was clockin And bitches still jockin The baby gangsta from Compton
You may have underestimated us, but I was keeping track of everything, and women still find me attractive even though I am a young, new rapper from Compton.

'cause they know it's on and poppin Nigga this is for you blind fools who Fillin pockets and groove Fuck you and yo' jealousy
People know that things are going well for me, and this song is for those who are blinded by greed and envy.

'cause niggas always talkin' the shit about me rappin' Talk behind my back but don't really know what's happenin'
People talk behind my back but do not know the reality of being a rapper.

Poppin' at the lips but ain't really sayin nothin' Mad 'cause I got up, got out, got somethin'
People are envious because I have become successful despite their negative talk.

(Chorus 2X) Jealousy Why all these people keep on sweatin' me Yeah yeah
The chorus highlights how people are jealous and judgmental towards me.

I'm damned if do I'm damned if don't No I don't got a lot What I got niggas want
I am in a difficult situation where people criticize me regardless of whether I have a lot or not.

That's the problem in the hood It's a bitch Niggas can't see anotha nigga havin' shit
The problem in the neighborhood is that people cannot stand seeing others succeed.

I want to get rich And have some chips To help my man out But niggas say I'm trippin'
I want to become rich and help my friends, but people think it is a foolish dream.

Nigga you'se a grown man you better learn some hustlin But you want to hold hands and walk through the strugglin
People should learn to hustle and work hard rather than relying on others to help them.

Now nigga please, money didn't never grow on trees If it did you'd see the D-are-E rakin' leaves
Money does not come easily, and people have to work hard to earn it.

So wake up That shit is just a dream and your trippin That's why I keep my heat on the seat when I'm dippin
People should realize that they are dreaming, and that is why I am careful and carry a gun with me.

'cause brothas like you and the rest of them fools Be plottin' on my crew now your droppin by two's
People like you and others are plotting against my crew, and they will fail.

I hit the hennessee and I see ya strictly as the enemy (But Dre that was the homey) Well fool better him then me
I drink alcohol, and I see you as a threat and an enemy, even though we were once friends.

(Chorus 2X) Jealousy Why all these people keep on sweatin' me Yeah yeah
The chorus highlights how people are jealous and judgmental towards me.

See look the homies don't be realizin real shit like this Been broke all my life ain't nobody gave me shit
My friends do not understand what it is like to live in poverty and struggle all your life.

Workin like a motherfucker blood sweat and tears Never heard from my peers when I served all them years
I have worked hard all my life, but my peers did not acknowledge my effort or help me during difficult times.

But no love was lost when you was out rollin' big time Now I wish you playa hatin niggas would let me get mine
When you were successful, we did not lose our friendship, but now I hope that people who hate on my success would leave me alone.

Gossip like a bitch but that bullshit is old style Nigga I ain't got shit but a low profile
People talk badly about me, but such gossip is outdated, and I do not boast about my success.

Ain't a nigga like the K.O? I rolls a 5 point 0 Occasionally I go dippin in the lo-lo
Is there anyone like me, B.G.? I drive a 5.0 Mustang and sometimes drive a Chevrolet Impala.

I know it's a trip and niggas can't understand it How a nigga rollin when I used to be stranded
People are surprised that I am successful even though I had nothing.

Damn it feels good to be a hustler Now it's time to separate the locs from the bustas I gotta maintain because games I don't play none That's one thing I won't do (What's that?) Forget where I came from
I am proud to be a hustler, and now I need to identify the real people from the fake ones. I will continue to work hard and remember my roots.

'cause niggas always talkin that shit about me rappin Talk behind my back but don't really know what's happenin Poppin at the lips but ain't really sayin nothin Mad 'cause I got up, got out, got somethin
People talk badly about me behind my back, but they do not know the reality of my situation. They are upset because I have become successful.

(Chorus 4X) Jealousyyyyyy
The chorus emphasizes how people are envious and critical towards me.
