All I Know
M.E.D. AKA Medaphoar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who running the city I answered the question no need to debate it
Come to my city they love me like Hov they know I'm the greatest
I count up the paper
She fall in love with the vapors
And he dont want smoke (Why)
I'm selling dope to my neighbors
And all I know is to hustle man like the fifth floor nigga damn aye
Came up in the projects on the 5th floor nigga damn aye
Now I'm tryna buy a big house wit a 5th floor nigga damn aye
And all I know is to get rich then you get more nigga damn aye
Who running the city?
They asked and I answered no need to debate it I know that they hate it
But you can not argue with facts my nigga your witnessing greatness
And momma raised her a star my name should be etched in the pavement
Hollywood walk of fame shit
Same team never lane switch
Me and bros used to starve together only feed niggas that you came wit
If I don't know you don't come to me I ain't giving niggas no handouts
Cause back then y'all didn't want me call 281 I'm the man now
Think niggas finally understand now
Not the one to be slept on
Doubted me and I kept going
Made a buzz and I kept growing
Now its 7K I'm the CEO
TNG I'm affiliated
Locked up making boss moves and I won't stop til niggas make it
I'm still young I lost two brothers gotta grind hard for the other four
When I hit like four mil I still gotta make a million more
Cause momma told me when its time to eat make sure the youngest always eat first




And that's why I gotta go hard I got racks coming each and every verse
Than I count up the paper
