[Verse 1:]
2
Uh, someone called the cops on him
3
Someone told his pops on him
4
He was talking crooked and he had some rocks on him
5
Tucked, tucked in his socks' corner
6
Chucks, chucks and the Charlotte Hornet
7
Cap, when he flowed then they all surprised on him
8
Yes, he's a Fugee but he go all Nas on "˜em
9
Well, can't go pras on "˜em
10
And he got that crossover
11
But he from the streets you don't cross over
12
Hut, hut to the block soldiers
13
Buck, buck to the cop vultures
14
Nope, no I don't know pilots
15
Nigga I know pirates
16
Violence the islands
17
Shout out to my idrens
18
Put your hands up like it's a mother fuckin' siren
19
[Hook:]
20
Well, I paid all my dues
21
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
22
Shone a million shoes
23
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
24
"˜Cause when you got nothing left
25
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
26
You got nothing to lose
27
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
28
[Verse 2:]
29
I used to stand on Vernon and 10
30
Burnin' a spliff burner on hip
31
Wishing to flip a bird, yac burning my chest
32
Black certainly I'm dressed
33
Strictly that army shit
34
Finish my shift
35
Pack gone before the dawn hit
36
Anything I could earn on the strip
37
Turn it and flip
38
Watching my back
39
Cooking the pot
40
Making it stretch
41
Discussing with' my clique
42
Should we duct tape the connect
43
It's rough and K'naan knows
44
He had the same woes
45
I'm voicing my opinions
46
I forgot y'all was there
47
I ain't know y'all was still listenin'
48
Be honest I ain't care
49
Y'all don't get my innuendos my interests
50
Y'all on some simple shit
51
Thinking I'm preachy
52
Yeah my church is the world
53
Christians sip a cup of this holy water
54
Stuck at this phony border
55
It's custom to enter the main stream
56
You must front and record
57
A poorer oratory
58
Your life story corny
59
Yo, my Somali niggas know what war be
60
We fam'
61
[Hook]
62
[Verse 3:]
63
Remember when niggas said Nas was Somalian
64
Baseball caps had the tags, like a yardie and
65
It was written just came out, I was gnarly then
66
Niggas dreaded seein' me like a Rastafarian
67
We didn't know the dress code though we was bargainers
68
The knock off Filas, with the pumps and cheap cardigans
69
Niggas looked corny I admit, we was foreigners
70
But this corny kid, quick to send you to the coroners
71
Y'all know my war story, I won't repeat it
72
It's just injury, my victory's undefeated
73
Thought you knew me well, go back and delete it
74
I'm in every joint this year, Orthopedic
75
And yes the AK's are instruments we do drum "˜em
76
I'm somewhere between killa and king Solomon
77
And the shades take half the face we over stun "˜em
78
And treat obstacles like ass we overcome "˜em
79
Man, they really made me do this
80
I was peaceful like a Buddhist
81
But then niggas came and screwed it up like Judas
82
Now I'm suited up with Lugers
83
Rugers suddenly intruders
84
Turn around like hoola hoopers
85
Fucking losers
86
[Hook]
87
[Outro:]
88
This one's for the world
89
This one's for your girl
90
This one's for your mama
91
This one's for your nana
