asap (feat. big kuntry
T.I. Lyrics

I'm on my grind, Grand Hustle, got the mind and the muscle
I am working hard, representing Grand Hustle, and have both the mental and physical strength to succeed

50 carats in the crown just to shine on you suckers
I have expensive jewelry that I wear to show off and make others jealous

Still tote the Glock .40 for the haters and the busters
I still carry a gun for protection against those who wish to harm me

Fuck probation, if a nigga try to play me, I'ma bust 'im
I do not care about legal consequences, if someone tries to harm me, I will retaliate with violence

I don't need no security reachin' for my jewelry
I do not need security guards to protect me from thieves who may try to steal my jewelry

Get ya niggas popped quick, filled full of hot shit
If someone messes with me, my associates will quickly retaliate and inflict harm

Fresh out the box, Tip hopped in a drop 6
I recently acquired a new expensive car and enjoy driving it

Made a quarter mil in the pen gettin' stock tips
While in jail, I earned a lot of money by investing in stocks

Haters wanna stop Tip, mad 'cause they not Tip
My enemies are jealous of my success and wish to bring me down

Ball every summer so ya baby mama jock Tip
I carry myself in a flashy manner during the summer, causing women to be attracted to me

You don't want no drama, pimp, I promise I do not slip
If you do not want any trouble, do not mess with me because I will not back down

Chrome .45th hid well if the cops trip
I carry a concealed weapon and hide it well in case law enforcement tries to search me

Bought my girl a Hummer with the chrome right in front of that
I bought my girlfriend an expensive car with shiny accessories to show off our wealth

Five carat stones with the platinum all up under that
My girlfriend's jewelry is also expensive and flashy

Rap beef, I ain't gonna participate in none of that
I refuse to engage in any verbal disputes with other rappers

I'm aimin' at yo fitted cap and you ain't gonna want none of that
If you cross me, I will aim and shoot at your head and you would not want to deal with the consequences

A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow 'im off the map ASAP
If someone tries to harm me or my reputation, I will retaliate quickly and violently

Ask anybody who runnin' A.G., bet they finna say me ASAP
If you ask anyone who is in charge of A.G. (a reference to Atlanta's rap scene), they will say that I am the one in charge

Niggas hatin' on P$C get straightened ASAP
If anyone speaks negatively about my music group P$C, I will retaliate and make sure they regret it

I know a lot of rappers don't like me, but they won't fight me
Many other rappers dislike me, but they are not willing to confront me physically

Feds swear I sell dope, well why they won't indict me?
The government accuses me of selling drugs, but they have not arrested me and charged me with anything

Advances on the throne I ain't never taken lightly
I take my position in the rap industry seriously and do not take any threats to my power lightly

But all that tongue wrestlin' hatin' while I'm gone don't excite me
I am not bothered by other rappers talking negatively about me while I am not present

How many rappers you know that can hold they own on Rice Street?
I have street credibility and am able to defend myself in dangerous areas

Any steady talkin' on the cell phone nightly?
Do any other rappers consistently talk on their phone late at night?

In normal population, half the jail just like me
Many inmates in jail resemble me in terms of their appearance and gang affiliation

Polices think I'm crazy, scared a nigga gone strike me
Law enforcement believes that I am dangerous and may attack them if provoked

Contrarily, a nigga tryin' me is unlikely
Despite what law enforcement thinks, it is unlikely that someone will attempt to harm me

They barkin don't bother me, I be bombin' 'fore they bite me
My enemies may talk negatively about me, but their words do not phase me and I will retaliate before they can do any harm

They just shocked to see my rap's exactly how my life be
Others are surprised to see that my lyrics accurately reflect my lifestyle

Shiesty with a conversation quite pricey
I am not easily commending and my conversation is reserved for those who can afford it

My fists so rocky and my wrist so icy
I am strong and physically fit, as well as wearing expensive jewelry

Might be thrown off my rocker just slightly
I may be a bit crazy or unpredictable at times

Feisty, flamin' hot temper don't ignite me
I have a short temper, but do not provoke me because I will retaliate

What up, say hello to the man of the people
I am a popular figure among my fans and am greeted by them wherever I go

My plan is to keep you at least two levels under me where I need you
I plan to keep my fans at a lower social status than myself, as I rely on them for my success

I'ma take advantage of my chance to defeat you
If given the opportunity, I will outperform and overpower my competition

Ya true colors done shown, now it's on when I see you
I have seen someone's true nature and will seek revenge if I encounter them again

I'm grown, nigga, so let it be known we ain't equal
I am not to be underestimated and am superior to others who may wish to challenge me

You're sadly mistaken if you thinkin' I cant reach you
Do not assume that I cannot harm you, as I am capable of doing so

Beat you to a fucking pulp if I need to
If necessary, I will physically assault someone until they are severely injured

The very spot you standin' in then is where I'll leave you
If I were to physically assault someone, I would do so until they are unable to move from their current position

Seen on the scene, white tees and Evisus
I wear casual clothing, such as white t-shirts and Evisu jeans, while out in public

O.G. status, I don't beef unless I need to
As an experienced rapper, I do not engage in disputes with others unless it is absolutely necessary

Sissy you way outta line and you runnin' outta time
If you are acting inappropriately, you need to stop or you will face the consequences

Hang behind closed doors when you heard I got some time
If you hear that I have some free time, you may want to avoid being seen in public to avoid confrontation

Yeah, I know you were thinkin' "out of sight and out of mind"
Do not assume that I have forgotten about you just because we have not been in contact recently

But I'm the wrong one for you to try if you were tryin' to shine
If you are trying to build your reputation, trying to take me down is a bad idea

Listen, nigga, this shit here is more than just a lot of rhymes
My music is more than just lyrics- it represents my lifestyle and my reputation

I don't know what you do for your respect, but I'ma die for mine
I am willing to go to any length to protect and maintain my reputation and respect
