featuring see Loc

[Silkk The Shocker]

Once upon a time in a crack house (a crack house)

a nigga was chopping up a key (a key)

It was drought season (season)

And everybody was fiending (fiending)

So they had to come and buy their dope from me

It all started back in the crack house

When I was counting up some dope and some mail

Now beaucoup pagers for sale

But I ain't have no more fucking yail

I had to get me some more

But all the dope is stupid move kinda slow

Black Adam we gonna go bust down in Texas

You know that's where I get my dope at

Taz was sweating kinda harder

So I took that plane ride to Georgia

But just remember that I was sitting on that thang

And that half that I got down in Florida

I had a bird but I chopped it up and I put it down to rocks (rocks)

That's when I make my come up, I hit my fucking block

Fiends was constant fucking sweating, now get out da door

I chop dimes to nickels, fuckers want to see me chop some more

10's grow to 20's, 20's grow to 50's

We need some yale, holla at your nigga

Or just come and get me

[C-Loc]

Dear God can you hear me

My love for money's gonna kill me

Ya got me selling crack to the children

And its a shame 'cause I love how I'm living

Peekin out the window, tryin to cope with a run of that indo

Parinoid as the fuck while I'm breaking down this kilo

Like some money to be made, ain't had dope in four days

As the fiends knock I keep off the block till Mr. gets paid

Selling phat packs, when I first react it's like dat

Pay man in flat

Throwing this block of dope trying to make my money back

Front you something bitch, front me some dollars

But if you ain't got no G's, shit nigga I can't hollar

Cause way down in the Bayou swamps

When niggas quick to get with some funk

This hard as the fucker come up

So the last thang I need is a begging motherfucker

Stay strapped up, whenever if you will get tapped up

The dope gang, fuck

I live for it, nigga quick to kill for it

Made 10 G's today, bout to get up and outie

(Loc, why don't you let your bro hold ten dollars)

Shit I ain't got it

ONE TIME
I don’t know Why I’m here but baby even though we fail It’s worth
I know You know It is all about my music
Music Changes our life in the dark so I can change your thoughts
I know You know Your life is also the same Music that is my boo

Boom Boom tap Boom Boom tap Step by step by hum you don’t care
I just like mic quitter bass drum kick snare Check up the one day
Four mans walked on street In my dream What bad at he time may actually
Be a blessing I just keep on keep keep keep It keep it keep it real

Everywhere we want to go Everywhere you want to go
One time one time We could feel tired at one time
I don’t care about it either Give me a few more minutes
One time one time I’ll show you what I can be the top of the world

I don’t know much about the music Even thought we fail it’s worth
I know you know It is all about my music
That changes our life with the change of seasons you also change the life
I know you know your life is also the same music that is my boo

Boom Boom tap Boom Boom tap Everyday Everywhere we we will do
How we do? Just keep it real That is our spirit We need to heal
One way only one way I had nothing on except for my socks
But I’ll show you everything and I make you We We We We We We make you high

Everywhere we want to go Everywhere you want to go
One time one time We could feel tired at one time
I don’t care about it either Give me a few more minutes
One time one time I’ll show you what I can be the top of the world

What What What I can do it look at me Slow down and down
What What What Can’t stop I’m ready I will do relax your mind
What What What I can do it look at me Show down and down
Are you ready（yes sir） Let’s go to the world
Ready（yes sir） Top of the world
Everywhere we want to go Everywhere you want to go

Their journey as an Indie band in Japan......in the lyrics he says," 4 men walking down the street, what was bad at the time (their experiences performing on the streets of Japan) may actually be a blessing ". It feels like its talking about how their struggles as an Indie band in Japan helped them become great at dominating stages and contribute to their success!
