Betty Shabazz
Half-A-Mil Lyrics

See, you've been so far away from this
You have been distant and disconnected from this situation

If your husband sit's, reads or studies
When your husband sits and engages in intellectual activities like reading or studying

He could be reading beside you studying
He could be reading a book or studying alongside you

Something serious, you think
Something important and significant, you believe

He's ignoring you, but if he puts
He seems to be disregarding you, but if he sets aside

Down his book, and both of
His book and both of you

You watching TV together
You watch TV together

That's make you happy doesn't it?
That makes you happy, doesn't it?

Come fuck with a nigga that's bout' some
Come associate with a man who is about something significant

When I say nigga that's
When I use the term 'nigga', it is in reference to

The Makaveli version
The version reminiscent of Tupac Shakur's alter ego, Makaveli

Keep new Pirelli swerving
Keep the new Pirelli tires spinning while driving

And I've been doing this too long
And I have been involved in this industry for an extended period of time

To never have a house in my government name
To never own a house under my legal name registered with the government

Nice frame baby, oh so inspiring
Attractive physique, baby, incredibly motivating

My life is getting too out
My life is becoming excessively overwhelming

I'm coming down in 61', 62's, 56'
I'm cruising in a 1961, 1962, and 1956 vehicle

What is this
What kind of cars are these

From Florence Ave to Desoto
From Florence Avenue to Desoto Street

When I was quarterback I wore ocho
When I played as a quarterback, I wore the jersey number eight

Might never wear it twice in a photo
Might never wear the same jersey in two separate photos

When you that great you don't
When you are that exceptional, you don't

See a need to showboat
Feel the necessity to boast or show off

Rest In Peace Kid Cali Oso
May Kid Cali Oso rest in peace

Rap took me places that a GED don't
Rap music has taken me to places that a General Education Diploma (GED) cannot

Live from Webster Hall in the APC coat
Performing live from Webster Hall wearing the APC coat

Me and Big Mike in the party, blowing smoke
Big Mike and I are at the party, smoking marijuana

In 2006 he had to keep that thing close
In 2006, he had to carry a firearm for protection

I had a big bottle of
I had a large bottle of

Goose and a fresh fitted
Grey Goose vodka and a brand-new fitted hat

Now start the Porsche up for me baby
Now start the Porsche car for me, baby

Let's get it
Let's begin

I'm too faded to drive home, so you on
I'm too intoxicated to drive home, so you take control

But don't leave me here alone
But do not abandon me here by myself

In need of your company
Requiring your presence and companionship

So come stunt with me
So come show off and shine alongside me

Moët on Moët, I ain't studderin'
Drinking excessive amounts of Moët Champagne, I am not hesitant

To tell the truth
To be honest and straightforward

Money ain't nothing but a thing
Money is nothing extraordinary or significant

Get her moist until she's puddling
Arouse her sexually until she becomes wet

Ended up cuddling
Ended up embracing and snuggling

Fat Burger on deck with the onion rings
Having Fat Burger burgers with onion rings readily available

When we hit the 50 yard line
When we reach the middle of the football field

We gon' run a screen
We are going to execute a screen play

Whoever in the way getting washed up
Anyone who obstructs our path will be defeated

This for my white girls shop at Cost Plus
This is for my white girls who shop at Cost Plus

And my black girls that done lost touch
And my black girls who have disconnected

With that inner Betty Shabazz
With that inner strength and resilience like Betty Shabazz

Out here streaming that trash
Out here listening to and consuming inferior music

Should be playing some Jazz
Should be listening to Jazz music instead

Shit, just imagine
Well, just envision

Me and Thelonius' Mac on Pro Tools X
Thelonius' Mac computer running Pro Tools X software

But you already knows who's next
But you already know who is coming next

That boy HB finna bless you
That boy Hit-Boy is about to bestow blessings upon you

Keep sleeping on me, nigga rest up
Continue to underestimate me, my friend, and take a good rest

I'm who they believe to be the kingpin
I'm the person they perceive to be the leader or mastermind

Depending on how good that thing is
Depending on the quality and proficiency of that person or thing

I might take her on a trip to Kingston
I might take her on a trip to Kingston, Jamaica

Every year we making history
Every year we are creating significant events or achievements

Exit the 110, imperial fishery
Leave the 110 freeway and go to the imperial fishery

Run me the combo with the shrimp
Prepare the seafood combo meal with shrimp for me

Nothing like these niggas
Completely different from these individuals

You can see it my lips
You can see it on my face or through my expressions

You wanna leave a man for me
You want to abandon your current partner for me

I can see it in her lips
I can perceive it from her mouth or words

Realer than your favorite rapper
More authentic and genuine than your preferred rap artist

You can see that in my pics
You can observe that from my pictures

In my 76' blasting oldies
In my 1976 vehicle playing old nostalgic songs

On the way to scoop the homies
On the way to pick up my friends

Fucking up, open the ceremony
Messing up or causing chaos, commencing the event

Get you that blue and yellow, Pasadena Ponies
Acquire those blue and yellow cars from Pasadena called Ponies

High off life, pop a xil
Feeling euphoric from life, take a Xanax pill

Free my nigga Chilly Chill
Release my friend Chilly Chill from incarceration

Fronto Leaf in my ashtray
Tobacco leaf in my ashtray

Half-A-Mil click, slick like a finger wave
Half-A-Mil group, smooth and stylish like a finger wave hairstyle

And I'm young MJ with the finger tape, yeah
And I resemble a young Michael Jordan with the finger tape, yes

Yeah smooth criminal
Yeah, a suave and cunning criminal

Fuck you and your subliminals
Disregard you and your indirect messages

Really it ain't no stopping me
Truly, there is no preventing me or halting my progress

They want X's over my happy faces
They desire to cover my joyful expressions with X marks

Vintage Davanti
Vintage luxury brand, Davanti

'cause I make the hardest beats
Because I produce the most intense and impressive musical compositions

And a whole lotta cheese, damn
And a substantial amount of money, damn

Yeah, we went from rags to riches
Yeah, we transitioned from poverty to wealth

6'4 rags with switches
Classic 1964 car with custom hydraulic switches for changing ride height

2 and 3 bags for my bitches
Two or three bags of drugs or money for my female associates

Hit's sacks, no clearance
Dealing drugs without official approval or permission

Sample of the pussy, get the clearance
Experience or trial of sexual intercourse, receive permission

Diamonds look like water, they the clearest
Diamonds possess a water-like clarity, making them exceptionally clear

Drippin' on them everywhere I walk
Exuding confidence and style wherever I go

It ain't about cash I can't take the call
It's not just about money, I cannot answer the phone

87 on my jersey, like we playing ball
Number 87 on my jersey, as if we are playing sports

OG double on my line, he gone play it off
Older gangster on the phone line, he will handle the situation discreetly

And I'm like my main down
And I am like my close friend

Like I'm Price T The Pimp
Similar to Price T The Pimp, a well-known character

But for now just order more ice to the VIP
But for now, simply request more bottles of champagne to the VIP area

Probably pull of in the icey whips
Likely depart in the luxurious cars

Valet tenant that's what I do for a living
I work as a valet and that is my profession

Not much I just get it how I live
Not much, I simply acquire things in the way I exist

Got my first name tatted on the ribs
Got my first name tattooed on my ribs

Well goddamn
Well, exclamation of surprise or astonishment

Keep on turning me and you gone see astronomy
Continue to observe or interact with me and you will witness something extraordinary

Our cars ain't economy
Our cars are not inexpensive or ordinary

So them raps ain't harming me
So those raps do not affect me negatively

We heaven sent to replace those lies
We are divinely sent to substitute those falsehoods

With some real niggas quotes to you
With some authentic and genuine statements to you

8 times 5 i be airing out beats
Forty, I am battling or competing against others in producing beats

Oh you niggas can't speak
Oh, you individuals are unable to compete or match my skills

Hit-Boy make the beats
Hit-Boy produces the musical compositions

I make sure we gone eat
I ensure that we have enough resources to prosper

Brown table at Katana's, 8 deep
Reserved table at Katana's restaurant, occupied by eight people

Shit is getting to good, I can't sleep
Things are progressing or improving so well that I am unable to sleep

No occasion, we just want to eat amazing
Without any specific event or purpose, we simply desire to have a delicious meal

I might bring the Cristal with me on stage
I might bring the Cristal champagne with me when performing on stage

Shit just to post up
Simply to show off or flaunt

You could probably smell Givenchy
You could probably detect the aroma of Givenchy fragrance

In the close up
In close view or proximity
