Lyrics:

Yeah
Let's take 'em back
Uh-huh
Comin' up I was confused, my momma kissin' a girl
Confusion occurs comin' up in the cold world
Daddy ain't around, probly out commitin' felonies
My favorite rapper used to sing 'che-check out my melody'
I wanna live good, so, shit, I sell dope
Fo' a four-finger ring, runnin' them gold ropes
Stanny told me if I pass, it'd be the sheepskin coat
If i could move a few packs, it'd be the hat, and that'd be dope
Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
Woke up the next mornin', niggas done stole my bike
Different day, same shit ain't nothing good in the hood
I'd runaway from this bitch, and never come back if I could

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me

I told Dre from the gate that I could carry the heat for ya
First mix tape song, I inherited befo' ya
Gritted my teeth fo' ya
G-g-g-gee fo' ya
Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers
At my last show I threw away my W A gold
I had the whole crowd yellin' 'free Yayo'
So niggas better get up outta mine
'fore I creep and turn yo' projects into Columbine
and I'm rap's MVP, don't make me remind y'all what happened in D.C.
This nigga ain't guady, he pretend
Mad at us 'cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend
And it seems your little rat turned out to be a mouse
And this b-shit is for birds, and birds fly south
Even Young Buc can vouch, when the doubts was out,
Who gave the west coast mouth-to-mouth?

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me

From the beginning to the end,
Losers lose, winners win
This is real, we ain't got to pretend
The cold world that we in
Full of pressure and pain
I thought it would change
It's stayin' the same

How many of them boys is with you?
When you had that little TV you had to hit on to get a picture
I'm walking with the snub
Cause niggas do alot of slip talking in the club
Til they coughin on the rug
I ain't ever had much but a walkman and a bud
My role model is gone, snortin up his drug
I've had enough, they want me to choke
My boy just got poked in the throat
Now its an R.I.P. shirt and my coat
Now I'm seeing, reminiscin
holdin' my weed here, never listen
If I see him, then I'mma lift him
And maybe I oughta even the score
But if not, It'll be me on the floor

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me

I started out at 15 scared as hell
I took 30 off a pack and I made them sales
As a youth, man I used to hustle for loot
With that Lou Deuce Deuce and my Triple Phat Goose
Sippin Easy Jesus, Rocking the Leases
Mama whip me when she find my pieces
I look back on life and think God I'm blessed
We the best on the planet so forget the rest

You know I'm still nice with my cooked game

Look mayne, It's a hood thang
Thats why I'm loved in Brooklayne
I handle mine just like a real nigga should
If I do some time, Homie I'm still all good
Let me show you what a thug bout born to die
I take the bullets out of 50, put em in my 4-5
And I ain't even got my feet wet yet
A seven-figure nigga who ain't seen a royalty check bitch

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gonna shine, homey, until my heart stops
Go 'head, envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And I ain't goin' nowhere
So you could get to know me
