[Verse 1: MJG, Eightball]
2
I'm MJG, the nigga with the versatile style
3
Check your calendar realize that I been here for awhile
4
When I was young I took the soul up out of rhythm and blues
5
When hip hop originated slowly paid my dues
6
And take my shoes, and try to walk a mile in my past
7
Without them salt shaker sheisters tryin to get in that ass
8
It's been too long, you motherfuckers fittin to feel the south
9
Shut your mouth, shut your do you little freak ass hoe
10
I'm bout tired of all this damn east and west coast shit
11
Especially when other niggaz tryin to work in this bitch
12
I paid my dues to the fullest, worked to god damn hard
13
For you too kill the industry and leave me out of a job
14
You niggaz strain yourself, to maintain yourself
15
And now you playin with enough rope to actually hang yourself
16
But you don't care, hell, you constantly fallin deep in the plot
17
Mesmerized from all the bitches and the money you got
18
You must of forgot they said that rap would never last ten years
19
And if your selfish to the fact, I'm tryin to have a career
20
Now listen here, what do we have, we got probable cause
21
To keep the pen on the paper and the glock in your drawers, nigga
22
Remember back when we used to do this shit for fun
23
Bein the dopest on my block made me ranked number one
24
No gun, just a pen and notebook paper by the sheet
25
In the crib, gettin funky off the next nigga beat
26
No electronics to make the shit that I wrote the chronic
27
Shit sick enough to bring vomit from your stomach
28
Quick as a comet, shield your eyes from the UV
29
Groovey, like a nigga from a Batman movie
30
Real about the shit that I express over dope beats
31
You can't say it was fake unless you grew up on my street
32
Concrete head niggaz, runnin from FED niggaz,
33
Po' ass scared niggaz, that came out dead niggaz
34
And all I ever wanted to be was an emcee
35
Did a little dirt and found it wasn't for me
36
Poetry flowin through my bloodstream like a drug
37
I'm addicted to rhyme because I love the buzz, nigga
38
[Chorus x2:]
39
My reason for rhyme
40
Because I'm true to this rap
41
My reason for rhyme
42
Because I'm real with this rap
43
My reason for rhyme
44
It ain't all about the cheese
45
Even though fat lp's can make a nigga g's
46
[Verse 2: MJG:]
47
My reason for rhymin, while I'm in, a position to be tellin
48
It's not about the fame and them bitches who be yellin
49
At my concerts, one verse, dicks up, quick fuck
50
Lies start spreadin now you tangled in a mix up
51
I gits up, do sits up, and squeeze my mental mindrame back in order
52
And use my hand as a tape recorder
53
Jottin down all the information placed in front of me
54
The good time, the bad time, the way I think it oughta be
55
Now follow G, can you comprehend?
56
If you can then drink a shot of Hen
57
Hit this hand on your silver end
58
Friends don't be friends and foes don't be foes
59
However the way you bring it, that's how you want it, I suppose
60
I can stay up out the game keep my aim on my paper
61
And I'll be sure to keep my pimpin real with Tony Draper
62
And I'll potray the man that I'm known to be
63
Dim the lights (Hip-tie) for the MJG
64
[Chorus x2]
65
[Verse 3: Eightball]
66
Give me a crowd of wild niggaz who love real hip hop
67
And watched smoke get soaked up, like water in a mop
68
Drop presidents among me and my own folk
69
And let that bullshit walk among the past with ghosts
70
Ain't no hope of bein takin seriously
71
When limited avenues are given to me
72
So, naturally I take shit and make shit mine
73
Jackin only for position in this thing called rhyme
74
Freestyle, not great, but if you wait for a second
75
I could write some shit down that could get a gold record
76
Thought about not the first thing that I think about
77
MJG and Eightball and hard is how we comin out
78
Runnin out, niggaz who can't hold on like En Vogue
79
Even though I moved out the mound I'm still ten toed
80
Down for the shit I do, the Suave House crew
81
True to this shit, because this shit is so true
82
[Chorus x2:]
83
[End with shoutout]
