Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'ma kick a hole lot of doze wide open for my kin folk
Just because we back a lot of people think we're nin four
Maniac rat attack take a fat sac and that dope that you're
Snatch from the Rappin' 4 tay track
And lace it chasing like it was the Master Glip
I had to switch upon all this gang
Cause suckers think that the battle
Where I'm coming from, because the player life is so real
Killers on the straw, from Frisco to the O'
Back to Sacramento from Lay-hoe and San-hoe
Say litts, have a party and parlay
Now we can do it you're way, let's do it my way
A place of O.G marve, and gay of in the background
Sipping on corniac, illiac, it's goin down
Flip more papper that the envy even touch

New Trump
Introducing something new and fresh
I'ma kick a hole lot of doze wide open for my kin folk
I will create opportunities for my family and community
Just because we back a lot of people think we're nin four
Misunderstood and underestimated due to our support for each other
Maniac rat attack take a fat sac and that dope that you're
I'm coming in fast and fiercely for success, leaving behind those who don't believe
Snatch from the Rappin' 4 tay track
Inspired by my own music to reach new heights
And lace it chasing like it was the Master Glip
Using my talent to create something innovative
I had to switch upon all this gang
Changed up my style to stand out
Cause suckers think that the battle
Determined to overcome obstacles and prove haters wrong
Was an on still from the free style fill
Used my freestyle abilities to win battles
Where I'm coming from, because the player life is so real
My experiences as a player in the game have made me who I am
Killers on the straw, from Frisco to the O'
Dangerous people around me, from San Francisco to Oakland
Back to Sacramento from Lay-hoe and San-hoe
Traveling between different cities in California
Say litts, have a party and parlay
Let's have a good time and enjoy ourselves
Now we can do it you're way, let's do it my way
Let's collaborate, but ultimately, I'm taking charge
A place of O.G marve, and gay of in the background
A reference to my surroundings, OG and gay individuals
Sipping on corniac, illiac, it's goin down
Drinking and partying, enjoying the moment
Flip more papper that the envy even touch
Making more money than my critics can imagine
From the Hammer to Diaffers, that you franked
From Oakland to Fairfield, showing off my success
That you chuked fucked up
Those who doubted me are regretting it now
Keep the pocket full of California skunk
Having lots of California marijuana on hand
The moe' screw track gon always bump
My music will always sound good and stand out
Trubows, go, Fila head to toe
Dressed in designer clothing from head to toe
Bossoliny brimmen come that player little fly hoe
My stylish hat and the attractive women around me
Ooh, You did know I own the record label
Boasting about my success and independent ownership
Everytime I go to Vegas you can catch me at the crab table
I enjoy gambling and spending money in Las Vegas
Where I be breaking em', shaking em', takeing em', face em' taolin
Winning big at the crab table and showing off

Not interested in women who are not financially successful
Cause you get nuthin' less you push em' on the table first
Refusing to give anything without a benefit

Giving ultimatums and demanding payment
Giving it true, comeing new, the niggers black folks
Staying true to myself and representing black people
Young players throw your hands in the air,
Expressing enthusiasm and passion

Referencing my success in different areas, including New York City
To my folks out in Texas
Acknowledging my fanbase and supporters in Texas

Encouraging hustlers to pursue success

Taking risks and making money
Every player nation wide try to keep a fat pocket
Encouraging everyone to have financial success
On the first of fifteen, everybody try to come up
People are always looking to make money and improve their situation
The fed and snitch and sucker dead for try to run up
Those who interfere with my success will not succeed themselves
A cumolate pappers kinda lock the dissies
Money and success brings power and control
Especially for a player to use, to flip and gees, and keys
Making money and gaining control through illegal activities
Sucker please, different chock for different folks
Everyone has their own way of succeeding
See, I'm just one of them players who can't stand beeing broke
I refuse to be unsuccessful and broke
Gots to come back quick like Mario and Dreddy
Quickly coming back strong and resilient like Mario in video games
Tripling up the papper chase, try to keep it feddy
Multiplying my money and always seeking more success
Five hundred thousand gold, one million platinum
Reaching high levels of financial success
Keep your plats and be check, and best believe Ima keep raping
Maintaining financial success and continuing to make money
