On the grill of my lowrider Guns on both sides, right above the gold wires I'll fo'-five 'em, kill a nigga on my song And really do it, that's the true meanin' of a ghostwriter Ten Gs'll take your daughter out of Air Forces Believe you me homie, I know all about losses I'm from Compton, wear the wrong colors, be cautious One phone call'll have your body dumped in Marcy I stay strapped like car seats Been bangin' since my lil' nigga Rob got killed for his Barkleys That's ten years, I told Pooh in ninety-five I'll kill you if you try me for my Air Max 95's Told Banks when I met him I'ma ride And if I gotta die, I'd rather homicide I ain't have 50 Cent when my grandmama died Now I'm goin' back to Cali with my Jacob on See how time fly? Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stop (Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's M.V.P And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me) Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stop (Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's M.V.P And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me) From the beginnin' to the end, losers lose Winners win this is real we ain't got to pretend The cold world that we in, is full of pressure and pain Enough of me, nigga, now listen to Game Used to see Five-O, throw the crack by the bench (hey, Five-O) Now I'm fuckin' with 5-0, it's all startin' to make sense My moms happy, she ain't gotta pay the rent And she got a red bow on that brand new Benz Waitin' on Sha Money to land, sittin' in the Range Thinkin' how they spent thirty million dollars on airplanes When there's kids starvin' Pac is gone and Brenda still throwin' babies in the garbage I wanna know "What's Goin' On" like I hear Marvin No schoolbooks, they used that wood to build coffins Whenever I'm in the booth and I get exhausted I think what if Marie Baker got that abortion? I love you ma Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stop (Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's M.V.P And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me) Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stop (Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's M.V.P And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me)
