RED
London Cafe del Mar 2002 - vol. 1 Lyrics

You got a problem
Are you having an issue with the way that I am conducting my affairs?

With the way I'm doin' my thang?
Are you criticizing my method of operation?

I lets my nuts hang
I am unapologetically confident in myself

Then put these niggas the flash to go insane
And I can easily cause others to become agitated or upset

Oh, that be me
Because I am the one in charge here

Let's kick it
So let's spend some time together

Just don't pull your check late
But make sure you fulfill your financial responsibilities on time

We ride up on you and catch you slippin'
Otherwise, you may be caught off guard by our actions

Checkmate!
And we'll have won the game before you even realize it

Lie down and best watch out
So be cautious and aware of your surroundings

Every thang nowadays you can't trust
Unfortunately, in current times, you cannot trust most people or situations

Now one of these niggas
One of these people

They coulda been paid to put a head out on us
May have been paid to harm us or even kill us

You understanding' me like I say
Do you comprehend what I am telling you?

Keep it in the family, man
Stick with those who are close to you and whom you can trust

You can't miss
This is imperative, and you cannot afford to make a mistake

Eliminate them haters and you mix
Get rid of all the negative people in your life so you can be successful

Fuck tha world
The world can be ruthless, so sometimes you have to ignore it and focus on yourself

Bitch!
A term of address that could mean anything from a general insult to endearment between friends. Here, it's used to convey defiance and toughness.

Be and watch your money
Be mindful of your finances

Nigga all about your scratch
Your money is all that matters

Everyday I gotta plot and
Each day, I must plan and scheme

Make it 'til I'm on top
To continue climbing the ladder of success

To make my dollars and stats
In order to earn more income and improve my reputation

On the real
In all seriousness

We big time fuckin' ballers
We are incredibly successful and wealthy individuals

Niggas, shot callers
And we have significant influence and power over others

Lay in 'em drop tops
We even drive luxurious, expensive cars with convertible tops

Gold thangs and M-40's
As well as jewelry and weapons

Well you gotta have
To succeed in this world, one must possess

Big paper, nigga
A substantial amount of money

Just to fuckin' kick it
Merely to enjoy oneself

Ain't no bitches in the streets, nigga
There are no women of high-quality on the streets, only prostitutes and lowlifes

This motherfucker get wicked
The world can be cruel and dangerous

See, a multi pet nigga
I am a man of many talents and interests

But I be TRU to this shit
But I always remain true to myself and my principles

First of all, about my money
Above all, earning wealth is my top priority

Fuck a bitch
I have no interest in women beyond purely physical pleasure

I'm tryin' to get rich!
My ultimate goal is to be incredibly wealthy

Crept from the bottom
I have worked my way up from the lowest point

Man, I struggled all my motherfucking life
And it has been a tough journey filled with hardships and obstacles

Use to have a razor blade
In the past, I have had to resort to using harmful and potentially dangerous tools to survive

Sliced through solid, eh, one
I had to cut through tough and unyielding materials with my razor, such as a single piece of paper, for example

Why not?
It had to be done in order to make a living and support myself

The only way to get some scrilla
At that time, that was my only option for earning money

If you knockin,' then fuck what you talkin'
If you are being negative or critical, I have no interest in hearing what you have to say

Broke ass nigga
You are poor and unsuccessful

Owe everything in the hood owe thangs
You owe money and have not paid off your debts in the community

If you walkin'
If you cannot even afford a car

You the same type of niggas
You are just like the other lowlifes

That hate on everything a playa do
Who criticize everything successful people do out of jealousy

Always talkin' about
Always saying things like

I woulda done this
If I were in their shoes, I would have acted differently

I woulda done that
I would have made different decisions

Fuck you!
I do not care what you think or have to say, your opinion is meaningless to me

Wark ass nigga don't wanna see
You are a weak individual who does not want others to succeed

They don't get nothing'
You are unable to achieve anything meaningful in your life

Don't wanna give me no props
You refuse to acknowledge someone else's hard work and success

Smile on your face
You may smile at me to my face

When you post-up
But behind my back

Stab you in the back
You will betray and harm me

When you need a bluff
Or if you require my assistance

Well, fuck 'em!
I do not care about these types of people

Cuz, see, we be all about our payday
Because we are focused solely on earning money

From South to the West
We are successful and wealthy all across the United States

Bitch, we connect, bitch
We are powerful and influential, and we make connections with other successful individuals

We wreck this like an AK
We dominate and destroy everything in our path, much like the lethality and destruction of an AK-47

I get bang like some hoes
I am having sex with many women

I get hang like some clothes
And I easily discard them like I would throw out old clothing

When I get done I'ma slap you
When I am finished with you, I will harm or hurt you

Like some motherfucking dough
With no remorse or consideration for your well-being

But if only you blow
However, if you become successful like us

Nigga, red like some rose
You will be as successful and powerful as us, and perhaps even more so

I hope your whole click pick you the bitch
Your colleagues and associates will recognize your worthlessness and cast you out

You like some motherfucking F O
You are nothing more than a low-level employee

I'm all about my paper, nigga
My focus is on earning money above all else

I'm rowdy, bitch
And I am always ready and willing to cause trouble or fight if necessary

I'm 'bout getting paid
My primary goal is to become wealthy and earn money in any way possible

So, I'm bout getting rich
Ultimately, I want to become extremely rich and powerful
