Say my name
Say my name
I just hope the love is real
Baby can you say my name
Na
Bitch you for the gang
(Yea)
But shit I left a stain
Reminiscing bout the past
Like this bitch don't know my name
Well shit
I'm 10Band
BBO CEO
I don't like to flash
You can see when you see me though
I put em on
And they changed
Am I pity?
No
I do not hit fake Niggas for videos
That's a principle
Lil nigga work on your principles
Showing fake love
That is visible
Fuck nigga you ain't invisible
I make that shit
And the opps think I'm dissing em
Like shit
Worried bout another man
you some shit
Yea
Fuck nigga better worry bout your bitch
Yea
I put em on yea I threw that pitch
Now he want me in a ditch
Thought we was brothers
We pose 2 throw fist
Dese niggas talking about sticks
Hand on my'
Fuck nigga I hit
My own people doubted me
That's some shit
Man I been needing to talk my shit
My brother can count on me
But I can't call him for shit
I guess he ain't my brother
She giving you time
That ain't my lover
Anti-social
Bitch you ain't in my bubble
No we cannot cuddle
Stick on me meaning
I cannot tussle
I hate it but god know I love her
I don't even let hoes know my mother
Cause I love her too much
She don't even know
Cause we argue too much
I remember them nights
With my shit out the house
Do not speak on my shit
Unless you seen that drought
What you know about that pain?
Bitch I'm attached to my lane
Had to detach from the lames
You playing games
I cannot follow a train
You ain't staydown through the rain
Now I make it rain on these hoes
(Say my name)
(Say my name)
I break her back
Yea you know I'm bringing pain to that hoe
I know no money cars or luxury
Will bring me back my luxury
Mindset
Wish I could go back
When they ain't fuck with my mind yet
I wanted love
But couldn't find that
My ex keep calling I admit
That only sometimes I decline that
Yea
( Dialing )
Hello
I know you only call my phone
When you be feeling
Alone
Yea
I'm off to better things
Let me emphasize yes
I'm better on my
Own
Yea
Like please don't
Like bitch don't hit my phone
Yea
I decline the tone
Yea
Disrespectful bitch
Yea
You better watch your tone
Yea
Slurp me use your tongue
Yea
She just want some funds

Say my name
Say my name
I just hope the love is real
Baby can you say my name
Na
Bitch you for the gang
(Yea)
But shit I left a stain




Reminiscing bout the past
Like this bitch don't know my name

Line by Line Meaning

This ain't beef man
There's no problem here


I don't know what the fuck to call it
I can't put a label on it


But no beef
But let's not start a conflict


I float like B.I.G.'s spirit in this bitch I'm ghostly
I move through this place like a ghost, just like B.I.G.


Rush me, cause you ain't gonna live to roast me
If you come at me, you won't live to talk about it


I'd have my motherfucking ass kicked by Moby
I'd be embarrassed if Moby was able to defeat me


If I let some bitch in the Can like Bis cop over me
If I let someone weaker than me take me down


To do war and try to bring my crew back down
To start a conflict and try to bring down my team


I'll never stoop to that level to do that now
I won't lower myself to do that now


I got a new cat
I have a new weapon


This time I'm pulling two gats out
This time, I have two guns ready


With bullets
And they're loaded


I finally got something to shoot at now
I finally have a target


Let's see who got they city on lock
Let's see who's in charge of the city


Let's see who got the better aim with the Glock
Let's see who's a better shot with their gun


Let's see who come out on top
Let's see who wins


Let's see who really want their name in the streets
Let's see who wants to be known in the streets


Let's see who wanna die the same time as me
Let's see who's brave enough to face me in a fight to the death


And make ends meet
And to earn money


Now was I blessed with a gift or cursed with a curse
Am I talented or suffering


I follow hearse after hearse with verse after verse
I keep writing songs even as people die


And I'll be damned if I let Billy dance Dupri
I won't allow someone weaker than me to defeat me


Or anybody swing an axe at my family tree, so now
Or anyone try to harm my family or legacy, so now


I love it when you niggas be talking, saying my name
I enjoy it when people talk about me


Seems like your mouth is not connected to your brain
It seems like you're not thinking before you speak


Two-zero-zero-three, and shit, it ain't the same
It's a different time now


Better have a strap my nigga, simple and plain
You better have a gun, it's that simple


Put your nuts on the table, my nigga let's play the game
Show me how tough you are, let's fight


Hurt you so long, you'll be a-ddicted to pain
I'll hurt you so much that you'll crave it


I don't wanna hear what you meant, do not explain
I don't want to hear excuses


Right before you lay in your coffin, ho say my name
Just before you die, say my name


Why do you hate me
What did I do to make you dislike me


I came from nothing
I started with nothing


Blood sweat and tears
I worked hard for everything


You did not create me
You didn't make me who I am


How can you doubt me
Why do you question my abilities


You don't know shit about me
You don't know anything about me


There'd be no West coast without me
I'm a key figure in the West coast music scene


Cut with the bullshit
Stop it with the lies


I struggle for survival
I've had a hard life


And now you trying to act like my rival
And now you're trying to compete with me


Watch what you say partner, it's a small earth
Be careful what you say, we're all connected


Don't play games with your life nigga, it's not worth
Don't risk your life, it's not worth it


All the pain, all the agony
All the suffering I've endured


All the horror, all the tragedy
All the terrible things I've witnessed


Put your hands up people, it's time to fight now
Get ready for a physical fight


I beat holes in your chest, remain hostile
I'll punch you hard, and stay aggressive


Threaten my life, c'mon
Try to kill me, let's see what happens


One day you'll understand
Someday you'll realize the truth


They say that pride is the sign of a foolish man
Others believe that being too proud is foolish


So who the fuck you think you talking to
Who do you think you're speaking to


Live and direct in the flesh, I'm right in front of you
I'm here, in person, and ready to confront you


I never really smashed on Jermaine's ass, Dre smashed him
I didn't attack Jermaine, Dre did


Nobody ganged up til he came back and jacked him
No one attacked him until he returned and took advantage of him


I never really brought it to his ass, I tapped him
I didn't physically hurt Jermaine, I just confronted him


I could have been like Treach, boom-bapped and slapped him
I could have been violent like Treach and hit Jermaine


Purple, for mimicking him with two rapping Urkels
I dissed him for acting like a nerd while rapping


I could of snapped, took it past rap and hurt you
I could have gotten violent and seriously hurt you


But I didn't, I kept it on wax and served you
But I kept it as a lyric and dissed you that way


I Square Dance cause I'm sick of rapping circles
I'm changing up my style because rapping in circles is boring


Around these clowns, stready trying to call me out
Around these wannabes who keep challenging me


It's like I'm listening to motherfucking dogs meow
It's like I'm listening to ridiculous nonsense


You'd probably do better tryin to come and stomp me out
You'd be more successful trying to physically attack me


You don't want it with rap, this is what I'm all about, c'mon
You can't compete with me in rap, this is what I'm best at


X, pass me the weed
X, give me the marijuana


I'mma put my ashes out on his ass
I'll put my cigarette ashes on this person


For the last time man
This is the final warning


Watch your fucking mouth
Be careful what you say


For the last time man, I'm through
This is the end of the conversation, I'm done
