Lyrics

Aww yeah

Y'all know what's up with this right here

No player haters allowed so everybody's not invited

So y'all gotta keep y'all distance

Mind your own, you'll live long

Yeah

Check me out

These judgmental cowards got they eyes closed

They didn't see me creeping up from behind

They wanna be me, but I ain't tripping

Sipping on something 90 proof

From the floor to the roof I spit this game to the youth

By any means, dreams of being a lot more than poor

If you ain't helping your family, then what you living for?

You'd rather talk about the next man like a buster

Fool, don't make me reach out and touch ya

Then never sleep again, just comprehend

Don't player hate

And real ballers keep they pagers on vibrate

Never trying to floss and show off, just stack it

On the low, that's if you wanna stay away from the po-po

Don't attract heat like De Niro

Standard of federales got they eyes on the whole state of Cali

You wanna be a player in this game but you gon' watch me win it

Trying to escape reality in four minutes

Four minutes of funk, get off your bunk

Pull your bottom off the tree stump

Ladies looking pretty, sin city

And now we getting down to the nitty gritty

From the bottom to the top, top to the bottom

Come on bullet luck and get funky while we got 'em

Gas or cash, ain't no free ride

L.A.D. got love coming from both sides

I'm 'bout to blow it up and that's on me

Ready to bring it on, man y'all gon' see

Uh, I tell my homie to give me a refill

'Cause I don't give a damn, they got me standing on pork chop hill

With the most of my mind gone

Just because a youngster wanna get his grind on

Fool, kill that

I'm trying to feed my household, what should I do?

To survive I gotta work for you?

Increase the minimum wage but you would never make me happy

But a real **** keep it nappy

Yeah, so I connect with E-A-Ski for bomb songs

When they hear the record they wanna sing along

My business straight, now the industry's about to be did it

Soon as I hit the world up with four minutes

Four minutes of funk, get off your bunk

Pull your bottom off the tree stump

Ladies looking pretty, sin city

And now we getting down to the nitty gritty

From the bottom to the top, top to the bottom

Come on bullet luck and get funky while we got 'em

And if you ever say you can see me, it don't compute

It's like walking through hell with a gasoline khaki suit

I'm unfathomable with this and about to show you

Time's up, I'm 'bout to overthrow you

It was nice to know you

I'm coming with it to move 'em all

Never be no coward, keep hitting your enemy until they fall, y'all

And to my females that's never faking and paper chasing

Time is just too valuable to be wasting

On the independent struggle to conquer, I'm down with you

Let's put our heads together, now we get richer

We gotta get it while it's there to get, let's put it down

Hit 'em up by surprise and then we leave town

Don't you like the sound of that?

Come skinny and leave fat

Count it up and split it 50/50 back at the flat

To the end we represent, we in it to win it

Trying to escape reality in four minutes

Four minutes of funk, get off your bunk

Pull your bottom off the tree stump

Ladies looking pretty, sin city

And now we getting down to the nitty gritty

From the bottom to the top, top to the bottom

Come on bullet luck and get funky while we got 'em
