1
[chorus:]
2
Rollin' up another swisha listenin' to the beat again
3
Drankin' but we concentratin' smoke another sweet again
4
Steadily rewindin' trying to make some hot shit
5
Oh what a job this is
6
Another all nighter tryin' to get it done
7
Barely make it home with the morning sun
8
Baby mother thinking that you on some other shit
9
Oh what a job this is
10
[Devin the Dude:]
11
Drankin' yet I'm thinking of another rhyme
12
Smokin' hoping that some bad news will come some other time
13
Cause I'm trying to do what I love, I love what I do
14
This music is something mo' different than the weed and the brew
15
That's why we mashin' we ain't asking for nothing we working for it
16
Push it peddle it to the people they can't ignore it, this is for
17
All the independents, a few major labels
18
The big studios who still give niggas favors
19
On the mixin' and mastering, puzzlin' and plastering the tracks together
20
On tapes, CDs, wax or whatever
21
This is for all the engineers who smoke weed
22
Can't forget about the production costs and all the hidden fees
23
For another rhyme written, we spend time spittin' in the booth
24
Sometimes it's like a pigeon coop
25
But it's all for the cause [vocal scratch] so I'm
26
Gonna continue to MC and smoke weed, you know I'm
27
[chorus]
28
[Snoop Dogg:]
29
As easy as it looks to you I make it look so easy
30
With the music I be making the impression I be leaving
31
A lot of folks they stop and stare, thinking Im'a trick it off
32
I roll another bleezy, puff it, pass it and shake it off
33
Move on to the next phase and it's amazing
34
The next generation of rappers, big Snoop Dogg raising
35
Mmm, that's 15 years in the game
36
Still got the fortune and fame, yeah I'm doing my thang, check this Devin
37
Somebody said that real Gs to go heaven
38
So I'ma keep spittin' the truth on these fools like a reverend, stay open
39
Like 7-11 that's 24/7
40
When you need some hot shit stop by and get you a beverage, I'm serving
41
My rhymes like nickels and dimes
42
Plug it in, let it play and let me blow your mind
43
It's the dominant conglomerate prominent and I'ma get
44
What I gotta get, twist another sweet and bob to the beat
45
[chorus]
46
[Andre 3000:]
47
We work nights, we some vampires
48
Niggas gather round the beat like a campfire
49
Singin' folk songs, but not no Kumbaya my Lord
50
You download it for free, we get charged back for it
51
I know you're saying, they won't know they won't miss it
52
Besides, I ain't a thief, they won't pay me a visit
53
So if I come to your job, take your corn on the cob
54
And take a couple kernels off it that would be alright with you
55
Hell no! Yeah, exactamundo
56
But we just keep recording and it ain't to get no condo
57
And Candy Bentley fanny with no panties in Miami
58
And that cute lil' chick named Tammy that you took to the Grammys
59
See we do it for that boi that graduated
60
That looked you in your eyes real tough and said 'preciate it
61
And that he wouldn'ta made it if it wasn't for your CD number 9
62
And he's standing with his baby momma Kiki and she cryin' talkinbout
63
That they used to get high to me in high school
64
And they used to make love to me in college
65
Then they told me 'bout they first date, listenin' to my tunes
66
And how he, like to finger nail polish
67
I say hate to cut you off but I gotta go
68
