where All My Niggaz With The Rubber Grips, Bust Shots
and If You With Me Mom I Rub On Your Tits, And What-Not
im From The School Of The Hard Knocks, We Must Not
let Outsiders Violate Our Blocks, And My Plot
lets Stick Up The World And Split It Fiftyfifty, Uh-Huh
lets Take The Dough And Stay Real Jiggy, Uh-Huh
and Sip The Cris And Get Pissy-Pissy

hustlings Still Inside Of Me, And As Far As Progress

so I Stretched The Game Out, Xed Your Name Out
put Jigga On Top, And Drop Albums Non-Stop For Ya, Nigguh!
