And tell the cops they let the animals out

[Verse 1]
I-20 Meet the Dealer 'cause I'm out on bail
I broke free and I ain't never goin back to jail
ATL's eastside says I'm back from hell
Reintroduced to my connect and I got sacks to sell
Since I was young I broke bones usin sticks and stones
Puttin bruises on you losers lames leave me alone
I'll be servin it for certain til the day that I die
You got that reggie for the low I got that fire for the high
Niggaz travelin when they rappin but I feel like they actin
And I ain't talkin bout vacation if I say that I'm packin
Hear that hunger in my voice and all the pain in my eyes
If this the only chance I get to you can bet I'mma ride
I got my back against the wall but my hand on my tool
'cause niggaz gotta give me somethin I got nothin to lose
A-Town's new ruler throw ya side in the sky
why'all niggaz lovin how ya livin but I'm (distorted) ready to die

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
You niggaz settin up to get me better come wit that four

Mr. Pain'll change the game by the time I'mma reign
I catch a charge like a flagrant foul deep in the lane
why'all niggaz know where why'all can find me see I'm deep in the south
Where niggaz put away they Benz and pull they Chevrolet out
why'all niggaz cakin on these broads spend a stack on that bitch
I'll throw that ho right out the VIP and throw some yak ('gnac) on that bitch
And as far as all this beefin why'all ain't worryin me

If I say it then I meant it you can take it at that
why'all been eatin off these streets and now I'm takin it back

So I'm servin like I'm Agassi Venus or Serena

So I stay wit the glove and a mask like a servant
A-Town's new ruler throw ya side in the sky

[Chorus]

[Ending: Bone Crusher] + (Ludacris)

I was a kid riding round Marietta Georgia when this came out. Best believe you can feel the music more when created in your city. 00-07 was prime Atlanta for me. OutKast was the prequel and set the vibe in stone when they won album of the year.

Joshua Day

I'm going through the classics and reminiscing when I used to ride through the may bumping shit like this!!!!
