Roll Call
Rapper Big Pooh Lyrics

Uh, give me a second, I'm having a nigga moment
I need a moment to gather my thoughts and emotions

Jo' reaching under the shirt's your first omen
If someone reaches under their shirt, it could be a sign of reaching for a gun

We man up, y'all niggas is still zoning
We take responsibility and handle our business, while others are still not focused

I'm on my third hustle while niggas is still yawning
I am working hard and trying to succeed in multiple ventures, while others are still sleeping

Five in the morning, out of town cell phone
It's early in the morning and I am already making important calls outside of my hometown

Roaming on my Philly shit, beard need coaming
I am on the move, representing Philadelphia, but my beard needs grooming

Work's never done, fake niggas need bitching
There is always work to be done, and there are people who need to be called out for their fakeness

Set off a pistol whipping, trigger finger still itching
I have resorted to using violence to get my point across, and I am still itching to use my gun

Pots in the kitchen, 'caine needs cooking
I am involved in drug dealing and need to cook the cocaine

As long niggas balling, Jo' Gutta still jooking
As long as people are still having success, I will continue to hustle and make money

I see the crowd looking, I thought he was a rapper?
People are observing me and wondering if I am truly a rapper

That's part-time bitch, I'm an AK clapper
Being a rapper is only part of what I do, I am also involved in shooting a gun

Dress code's something like the opposite of dapper
My fashion sense is not classy or elegant

Send a black rose to your mother and your pastor
I will show respect to those who have passed away by sending a black rose to their loved ones

I'm after, everything I feel that I'm due
I am actively pursuing everything that I believe I am entitled to

On the grind 'til I feel that I'm through
I will continue to work hard until I feel like I have accomplished what I need to

Even though I moved out of NYC I'm the realest
Even though I have left New York City, I still consider myself to be authentic and genuine

Transferred to Central Carolina Phyllis
I have moved to Central Carolina, specifically Phyllis

The world black and white but a nigga dream of color
The world can be simple and straightforward, but I dream of more vibrant possibilities

Like blue and cream wallies, I'm a rock 'em this summer
I plan on wearing blue and cream-colored shoes called 'wallies' this summer

Took a few losses, had a little setback
I have experienced some failures and obstacles

Reparation time, dude for the get-back
It's time to fix any damage done and seek revenge

Had a premonition, I'd be the illest spitting
I had a feeling that I would become the best rapper in the game

Shut down Webster's, become the definition
I want to be so good that my name becomes synonymous with greatness, like a dictionary definition

Used to have more 'Nightmares' than 'Dana Dane'
I used to experience more negative things in my life than positive things

A voice woke me up and told me to change the game
I had an epiphany that I needed to do something different and make an impact in the industry

Never second guessed it, rose to my feet
I didn't hesitate and got up to make a change

Metronome flow, huh, controlling the beat
I have a rhythmically consistent flow that dominates the instrumental beat

The heart of the street, put my vocal chords in a frame
I represent the essence of street culture and frame my voice to match

Hang it up because it's art when I speak
I consider my rapping to be a form of artistic expression

Don't need to autograph it, my verse is the signature
My verses are so unique and recognizable that I don't need to sign them to claim ownership

Now open up the calorie doors
It's time to start eating, and consuming my music as nourishment

I never should have rolled the dice
I regret taking a gamble in my life

Now I'm trapped off in the game (in the game)
I am stuck in a cycle of making money through illegal means

No matter how you live your life
No matter how you go about living your life,

Some shit don't never change (never change)
Some things will always remain the same, no matter what

I'm here for the money and the power
I am pursuing financial gain and influence

Y'all keep that fuckin fame (fuck the fame)
I don't care about fame, it's not worth pursuing

Either way when I leave this bitch
No matter what happens at the end of the day,

You gon' know my fuckin name
People will remember who I am and what I accomplished

Yeah, so come with it, Joey done shitted
I am ready for whatever comes my way, and I am confident in myself

Best to do it and damn near best that did it
I am one of the best rappers in the game currently, and have almost reached the level of those before me

Nine-one-nine on the wrist and the fitted
I am wearing a wristwatch and fitted cap with the area code 919

Probably know I capped, lil homie don't forget it
I may have lied about something, but don't forget it and hold me accountable

Put the bait out and you bit it
I set a trap and you fell for it

Fuck around with me, catch a bald like Riddick
Be careful messing with me, you might get knocked out like Vin Diesel's character in Riddick

Or bald like Jackson, time for some action
You might also get knocked out like Samuel L. Jackson's character in the movie Shaft

If you asking, I ain't with all the rassling
If you're wondering, I am not interested in fighting or wrestling

I'm about moving, I ain't with the losing
I am focused on progressing and winning, not on failure or setbacks

As a fly-by I'm still cool cause I'm cruising
Even when I am not giving full effort, I am still cool and collected

What you think you doing? I might have to ruin
If I feel like you are doing something wrong or against me, I may have to take action and destroy you

Better catch up homie, come get with the movement
You need to get on board with the progress and forward momentum that I am leading

(Better tell 'em bout it) H-O-J, they don't play
Make sure to spread the word about HOJ, they are not to be messed with

That's my team, this my day
HOJ is my team, and today is my day to shine

Crown City boy, that's where I stay
I am from Crown City, and that's where I will always be

And we the best out, that's what they say
We are considered the best, according to popular opinion

Uh, niggas always wanna talk about money
People are always talking about money and its importance

Told y'all I came with Dho/dough, young'n you ain't know?
I came with dough in the form of rapper Big Dho, and you were unaware

Toured the world with my group Lil' Bro'
I have traveled the world performing with my group Lil' Bro'

That means I'm professional, who's next to blow?
This shows that I am a professional in the industry, and who will be the next big thing?

You just standing in a shadow
You are not making a name for yourself and are living in someone else's shadow

Hurt pride like I stole your mojo
I have caused you to lose confidence and self-esteem, like I stole your 'mojo'

I'm so thoro, get a book, maybe I'll explain
I am thorough and detail-oriented, read a book and I'll tell you more

How I maintain, do this with no strain
I can do this without stressing or struggling

Huh, you do it with no gain
You are doing it without any profit or benefit

And they tryna put us on the same plain
People are trying to compare us or put us in the same category

No disrespect, that's a disconnect
Not meant as an insult, but we are not the same

I achieve milestones you ain't even seen yet
I have already accomplished great things that you haven't even seen yet

Been a couple places you ain't even dreamed yet
I have traveled to destinations that you haven't even thought about yet

Six years later, how quick we forget
People quickly forget how much I have achieved in the past six years

And yet, there's still not one comparison
Despite the comparisons, there isn't anyone quite like me

That they compared me to that I ain't much better than, my nigga
I am better than anyone they've compared me to, no one compares
