A Million... A Million...
A Million...
A Million... A Million...
A Million... A Million...

(1: Mike G)
I'll never say I'm the shit I'm too clean for that
But I will say I'm sick, no strings attached
That, you can promise, don't need a ring for that
Try get my whole crew rich, so my team can match
Honestly niggas can't fly with no wings attached
So I'm in a G-5 with the screens intact
And I'm a really swell guy just to be exact
Fact is I've been worldwide just to take it back
My 'I canget you high' lines make em fiend like crack
So It's Coke Keys I'm dishin till my seat lean back
And the dollar bills flipping till the gold card black
Get four cars to match, I'ma leave it at that
Spit four bars for rapping we can meet in the back
I mean the top, the lord knows I don't know how to act
I didn't start at the base, cuz the top attracts
Still first in the race, see how they react
Whats that... ha... just to spit facts
Keep me abstract in combat
I've spent about (a million) bucks on the streets alone
Cuz it's like, the hundreds is my home and I'm
At Alife everyday
Nigga Rogue Status, okay
This pad is my shield, pen's my sword for real
Embrace the martian, turn the whole world to clover field
Negotiations when I heard 'em say they'd give me the mill-
Open up the briefcase and shit, I'll take that deal
No bitch denying me I'm chasing money cuz see,
Red, White and green Parmesan I need extra cheese
That drip like Krink, but in cans nigga spray it
Fuck love, all I've got for hoes is wait, won't say it
Tryna Stray from clichΓ© I'm rocking my chain anyway
Bad bitch on my side, she could get it any day
Any day in anyway look theres a price to pay for jocking my move
These niggas watch me like a stage play
Peep this head, cracker, ho smacker
Whack rapper, attack her, Internet hacker
No slacker, best factor, west division bracket
Act like you know TH on the jacket
Not a DJ but I scratch it while you hack it
Make you go go like gadget, perform magic
Without a wand, I drop bombs, without Saddam
A vet without 'nam, I make sense without common ground
(A million) Rappers wanna be like me I said, (A million) niggas tryna touch mike g
(A million) rappers all tryna prevail yeah, (A million) try but a million fail
07, west coast legend, make the game different
I don't know why the hell these niggas say it didn't
Versus best written, clothes are my addiction
Nine days out the week I'm in the lab spittin'
Or in the cab pimpin' bitches that look like you
Cuz the seats all white and the coupe's light blue
I'm a crook like you, cats back in my city
Said they had the King beat dawg, what could I do?
Know what I'm supposed to style, I'm coolest nigga's poster child
Bet everybody nobody know my style
It's ironic and what not, how niggas gonna cop
An iced out g-shock just because its hot
Ask, I ain't gotta Obama shirt to say the least
I won't carry around a President that's not deceased
And I'm sorry but it's true, pay me, fuck you
This verse is to guarantee that he can't be beat
And my main goal is just to have some fun
Cuz the scoreboard don't show you how the game was won
But west coast mothafucker, what's fucking with them
Not a damn thing nigga, we doin' our damn thing





A million... A million...

Somebody's pulling me closer to the ground
I ain't panicked, I been here before
Seems like only yesterday when I got up on that stage
In front of that crowd
And showed them who was who, and what was what
Man look at these suckers
I ain't no rapper, I'm a hustler
It just so happens that I know how to rap
Okay, I'm reloaded!
(music drops in)
I did it again niggaz
Fucked up, right? I know
I know what y'all niggaz asking yourself
Is he gonna ever fall off?
No...
...a lot of speculation
on the monies I've made, honeys I've slayed
How is he for real? Is that nigga really paid?
Hustlers I've met or, dealt with direct
Is it true he slay the beef and slept with a tech?
What's the position you hold? Can you really match
a triple platinum artist buck by buck by only a single goin gold?
Roc-A-Fella ship fold, and you're left out in the cold
Is it back to charging motherfuckers 11 for an O
For the millionth time askin me
Questions like Wendy Williams, harrassin me
then get upset when I catch feelings
Can I get a minute to breathe? And in that minute you leave
While I'm looking at my Rol' ice spinnin on my sleeve
Uh, nice watch, do you really have a spot?
Like you said in Friend or Foe and if so, what block?
What you doin in L.A., with phillipinos and ese's
Latinos and Cheve's, down by Pico withh Frederico
I answer all your questions but then y'all got to go
Now the question I ask you is how bad you want to know? BLAOW!
Roc-A-Fella y'all, uhh, uh
Know my style
Motherfuckers can't rhyme no more, bout crime no more
Til I'm no more, cause I'm so raw
My flow expose holes that they find in yours
Wasn't for me, niggaz still be dying for whores
But I hate when a nigga sit back, admirin yours
Young blood you better get that, we frying baccars
Niggaz don't want to be confined to riding the iron horse
And don't listen to the rappers, they dying to floss
I used to be O.T., applyin the force
Shoot up the whole block, then the iron I toss
Come back with the click playing Diana Ross
I'm the boss and this is how it's gonna be
Burnt the turnpike, wild miles on the V
I got mouths to feed till they put flowers on me
And kiss my cold cheek, chicks crying like I was Cochise
Tombstone read 'He Was Holdin No Leaks'
Started from the crack game and then so sweet
Freaked it to the rap game, Jigga the old-G
On MTV, telling em how I sold D
And used to back work up out of apartment 4-B
Me and my homie, started out coldies
Picked the mailbox lock cause I ain't have no key
Had the cable with the anchor when Jaz made 'Sophie'
Then I went low key, but now I'm back it's on
Motherfuckers
Jigga, uh-huh, yeah
Roc-A-Fella y'all
Uhh, feel this
