Higher learning and we earning let me talk to 'em
Run the town ask around better talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Man up we gone stand up let me talk to 'em
Higher learning and we earning let me talk to 'em
Run the town ask around better talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Yeah nigga the truth only
Never gave a fuck bout your thoughts they don't control me
Rather not hear no lip bitch show me
Slowly how you perform the guac on me
That's your man better talk to 'em
For I leave him a puncture or put a spark to 'em
Cold how I do 'em they know I do it
I don't play bout my rank I get cake and I keep it moving
Hella high I don't talk to much
Less i'm cutting on these records cause I smoke too much
Don't be thinking that I'm flexing when I cobra clutch
When I speak niggas listen cause they know what's up
The man now and I'm always gonna be
Pay attention I got wisdom you could learn from me
Don't be slipping when its time to man up my nigga
You can talk your way out or handle your business
Man up we gone stand up let me talk to 'em
Higher learning and we earning let me talk to 'em
Run the town ask around better talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Man up we gone stand up let me talk to 'em
Higher learning and we earning let me talk to 'em
Run the town ask around better talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Forgive me for my sins cause I'm just trying to win
Learn from the greats it all starts in the gym
Silence in the dojo the coach be dropping pins
Call it jewels with these tools we will dislocate your chin
With my bothers no new friends
If you plan the be the man you must never follow trends
Time to rise up black man adjust your lens
Got the chopper singing opera for these lions in the den
Higher learning and we learning so you better comprehend
Rolling with my ruler only me and Pattie
Weed in my dome got the liquor in my body
I don't trust nobody last time I trust somebody
I almost caught a body
Real nigga got clips real men throw fists let me talk to 'em
Shots fired then dip nobody seen shit let me talk to em
It ain't nothing to get you hit from these words you spit better talk to 'em
Man up we gone stand up let me talk to 'em
Higher learning and we earning let me talk to 'em
Run the town ask around better talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Man up we gone stand up let me talk to 'em
Higher learning and we earning let me talk to 'em
Run the town ask around better talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
Let me talk to 'em
