And fuck the task force 'cause them suckas tried to fold me, scold me
Told me if I move that they was blastin
Got me to the station, hella questions they be askin
Who's the Big Balla, Who supply your crew
Who got the big birdies in the box is it you?
I never said a word 'cause nigga I don't do so
You fools got some question better ask the lawyer Rouseau
Kurupt:
I'm so international
All about my cashional
18 million rational (speak mice)???
What you want fool dogg tell me what you need
'Bout a couple pints of Hennisse an eighth of weed
Seems time gettin shorter
Time to elevate from nickels, dimes up to quarters
Kurupt, be -Legit, and 40 water
Niggaz oughta
Get to Swervin'
Take a hit, hit the strip and then get to pervin'
E-40:
Squa, Squa,Squab music
Mobb Music
Right on a muthfucka and draw down on his ass music

Pull a ho without a muthafuckin tug of war

Ever since the womb

Actin up (Actin up)
Actin tough (Actin tough)
Actin bad with all kinds of guns and stuff

And a 'four to bounce
Half a brick to flip
Large amount accounts
Live as a young nigga with loot don't count
Live as a young nigga with loot turned out
You know it ain't nothing to it but to do it
Flow like fluid
You's inlcuded
Pursue it
Subdue it
And run through it
Doin what I do is hard to maintain my composure
Ah man they came through with no douja
be -Legit:
The muthfuckin county ain't no place for the savage
A Cock hound dank smokin nigga 'bout his cabbage
But if I'm ever caught I'm a ride my shit
Divorce my broad

Bury my mail in my momma backyard
Steeady poppin' chyme to correctional guards
They fucks wit my crew 'cause they claim that we be trouble
Them niggaz from the V to the H-I Double
I'm tryin to get this party tonight at this motel
A gang a bitches there
Some more on my voice mail
Bathtub full of the ice and the fifths
My homey K-1 rollin blunts at the crib
First I take a hit
Strolls like a pimp
The muthafuckin savage with the million dollar limp
Another big day for this timin ass balla
Hit the block stock in my ninety fin impala
Let them pipes holla

19 shots sittin next to my 40
Snatch my knot
Shake the spot and gets far
Bitch, I'm a muthafuckin rap star

Niggaz love me because I'm all about my paper route

A totally underrated Womack track.

He may be gone but his music lives on.
Melissa Baxter
when listening to this song , tears fill my eyes...Mr.Womack has a raspy voice like my father who passed in November 9, 2015.# Bobby Womack is one of my favorite singers but find him hard to listen to at this time
Corey Daniels
I'm sorry for the passing of your dad. I have the same problem with most music songs. My eyes fill up and the tears flow down my face. At first I thought something was wrong with me acting emotional like some sissy. You know how strong & hard us men try to put up a big front. I soon realized that even the strongest male has emotions and feelings. Mr Womack will bring them out and nothing wrong with that.
