Anything Goes
Master P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
this dope shit done got a lot of my niggas
taken out the game
And to my brother Kevin Miller rest in peace fool
Verse 1
Growing up in the Calliope New Orleans to be exact g
I had to pack a gat I thought somebody was out to kill me
I'm paranoid I toss and turn in my sleep g
My best friend done turned into my motherfucking enemy
19 years old gold fronts and a mean mug
I hooked up with my little cousin Jimmy
learned to slang drugs
A lot of shit done changed in my fucking neighborhood
This fast cash got the P living no good
I'm deep up in this shit and ain't no turning back
Me and my cousin ?? say I got him for a fucking sack
I told him check his bitch, but he didn't here me though
He didn't believe that his bitch was out smoking dope
Now I gotta stand on my own 2
I came in this world by myself
that's the way I'm gone die fool
One year later and my cousin doing life on a case
I moved to Richmond California just to fucking get away
Bumped into my partner King from New Orleans
He couldn't find a job and I'm back to slanging amphetamines
And everything was cool for a fucking while g
Til I went to this club and this fool tried me
We in the back with some bitches counting hundreds
Til these suckers walked up and said jack
these niggas from the country
We didn't have no gats, I had to make a g move
Connects and head butting, that's how I did this fool
King G hit this boy with a upper cut
30 days in the county, but we didn't give a fuck
(Chorus)
Anything goes
Life's a trip, but that's how the game goes
Hood riding, homicide 4 deep with them gats cocked
Ready to put some fools on they back
1, 2, 3 a nigga slanging keys
but why you have to mess with P
Hood riding, homicide 4 deep with them gats cocked
Ready to put some fools on they biggety back
Verse 2
Released from the county on a PO
The only way to get back on my feet is slang that diggety dope
Hooked up with my partner, my cutty mac
Two days later I'm back rolling motherfucking black
Lexus coup with a droptop Benz
And in the glove compartment you'll find about 33,000 ends
I ain't tripping cause the game get deep though
Got a phone call, couldn't sleep bro
They say my little brother died back in New Orleans
Pop pop boom and it killed him, here him scream
But I ain't tripping cause mama still here a cry
In Richmond one day the P is gonna die
And if I do I guess I'm going out like a g though
Like the movie on the motherfucking Untouchables
So when I go out, I know I'm fucking living wrong
They betta take me out like fucking Al Capone
In Master P's "Anything Goes" he gives us a glimpse into his upbringing in New Orleans, Louisiana. P grew up in an impoverished neighborhood known as the Calliope Projects. In his neighborhood, he had to carry a gun because he believed that someone was out to kill him. As a result, he was paranoid and had trouble sleeping at night. Although it was initially his best friend, his enemy turned out to be someone he loved and trusted. He and his cousin began selling drugs together, but after one year, his cousin was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. In an effort to escape the harsh realities of his life, he moved to Richmond, California.
As he tried to rebuild his life, he found himself caught up in the drug game again, selling amphetamines with his friend King from New Orleans. Things continued to spiral out of control as he received news that his little brother died in New Orleans; around the same time, he was forced to defend himself against attackers with the help of his friend, King. He laments that he knows that he's not living his life the right way, but he is prepared to die like a gangster when the time comes.
"Anything Goes" chronicles the struggles of an African-American growing up in poverty, who is forced to hustle to survive. Master P's lyrics put a spotlight on the disturbing issue of violence in black communities and the need for many African Americans to resort to selling drugs and gang affiliation to cope with their harsh realities.

You can see how much the Bay area influenced Master P. He was born in New Orleans but moved to Richmond after his grandfather passed and he was blessed with enough money to open a record store in the Bay. You think about how this Man changed the game by staying True to himself and where he came from, you can't do nothing but Respect and Appreciate that. No Lie. P is probably my biggest influence as a Man and a Boss as far as the Music Industry is concerned. E-40 is right there too. I Respect these dudes.............

03 26 This straight up Bay Area Richmond sound. Master P says so HIMSELF that he came up on game in the BAY. No Limit Records started in The Bay and was there for 5+ years before P moved back to New Orleans. TRU was originally P and a bunch of Bay cats. All the black folks in Richmond came for New Orleans generations ago tho.

03 26 You can say that but you just ignoring the history. It was E-40's uncle Saint Charles that put P up on all that game on how to run a label and keep pushing records out there. P will tell you that himself. Learn the history. That ain't no disrespect to the south that's just telling the story properly.
