Told me if I move that they was blastin
Got me to the station, hella questions they be askin
Who's the Big Balla, Who supply your crew
Who got the big birdies in the box is it you?
I never said a word 'cause nigga I don't do so
You fools got some question better ask the lawyer Rouseau
Kurupt:
I'm so international
All about my cashional

What you want fool dogg tell me what you need
'Bout a couple pints of Hennisse an eighth of weed
Seems time gettin shorter
Time to elevate from nickels, dimes up to quarters

Take a hit, hit the strip and then get to pervin'
E-40:

Ever since the womb

Actin up (Actin up)
Actin tough (Actin tough)
Actin bad with all kinds of guns and stuff

Kurupt:

And a 'four to bounce
Half a brick to flip
Large amount accounts
Live as a young nigga with loot don't count
Live as a young nigga with loot turned out
You know it ain't nothing to it but to do it
Flow like fluid
You's inlcuded
Pursue it
Subdue it
And run through it
Doin what I do is hard to maintain my composure
Ah man they came through with no douja
be -Legit:
The muthfuckin county ain't no place for the savage
A Cock hound dank smokin nigga 'bout his cabbage
But if I'm ever caught I'm a ride my shit
Divorce my broad
But nigga keep my bitch
Bury my mail in my momma backyard
Steeady poppin' chyme to correctional guards
They fucks wit my crew 'cause they claim that we be trouble
Them niggaz from the V to the H-I Double
I'm tryin to get this party tonight at this motel
A gang a bitches there
Some more on my voice mail
Bathtub full of the ice and the fifths
My homey K-1 rollin blunts at the crib
First I take a hit
Strolls like a pimp
The muthafuckin savage with the million dollar limp
Another big day for this timin ass balla
Hit the block stock in my ninety fin impala
Let them pipes holla
I know I'm looking saucy
19 shots sittin next to my 40
Snatch my knot
Shake the spot and gets far
Bitch, I'm a muthafuckin rap star
X4
From a nickel and dime ass nigga
To a top hat ballin big rigga

To a half ham now I'm sitting kilograms
Niggaz 'spect me to the upmost 'cause I'm highly spoken 'bout
Niggaz love me because I'm all about my paper route
I keep my lawyers and my bail bondsmen paid shiiiit
For all I know they might decide to raid shiiiit
Back in the day po-po was easily out-smarted
But now they got some new and improved state of the art

Seems time gettin shorter
Time is running out
Time to elevate from nickels, dimes up to quarters

It's challenging to stay calm and composed while doing what I do
Ah man they came through with no douja
They arrived without any marijuana
The muthfuckin county ain't no place for the savage
The county jail is not suitable for a dangerous person like me
A Cock hound dank smokin nigga 'bout his cabbage
I am a marijuana enthusiast and money-driven
But if I'm ever caught I'm a ride my shit
If I get caught, I will take responsibility for my actions
Divorce my broad

But nigga keep my bitch
But keep my female companion
Bury my mail in my momma backyard
Hide my drugs in my mother's backyard
Steeady poppin' chyme to correctional guards

They fucks wit my crew 'cause they claim that we be trouble
Law enforcement targets my crew because they think we cause trouble

Strolls like a pimp
Walks confidently and stylishly
The muthafuckin savage with the million dollar limp
I am a dangerous and wealthy person with a noticeable limp
Another big day for this timin ass balla
Another successful day for me as a skilled and wealthy person
Hit the block stock in my ninety fin impala
Drive around the neighborhood in my 1995 Chevrolet Impala
Let them pipes holla
Let the guns make loud noises
I know I'm looking saucy
I know I'm looking stylish and impressive
19 shots sittin next to my 40
I have 19 bullets next to my firearm
Snatch my knot
Secure my money
Shake the spot and gets far
Leave the location and get away quickly
Bitch, I'm a muthafuckin rap star

But now they got some new and improved state of the art
But now they have advanced and upgraded their techniques
Now its going down am I living in the past
Things are changing, and I need to stop living in the past
This modern day slavery takin' toll on my ass
The current system of oppression is negatively affecting me
You either take me in or let's this timer go
Either arrest me or let me go free
Or if you got some charges nigga let this timer know
If you have any accusations or evidence, share it with me
I told you I'm a rapper
I already mentioned that I am a rapper
Love to entertain
I enjoy entertaining people
Catch me on the stage with a mic spittin game
You can see me performing on stage, rapping confidently
