| Say som’n, do som’n, that’s the way that I was raised
|
| But we living in different ways nowadays
|
| But no matter what you was taught
|
| Every man must hold his own
|
| Pac told me, «Reach the block, homies»
|
| When the thot’s know me then you get guacamole
|
| Still gotta watch police even if you got dough these
|
| Haza’s will not scold me, 'cause I am not Toby
|
| I am a king, I made my mark on this planet, I am cha-ching
|
| That’s my Asian name, I get dough from rhymin' supreme
|
| I was poor, now I am a thing, I was low as slime in latrines
|
| That’s amazin' man, I put the 'woop' on it, a few moments
|
| Then you gon' get a new song with 'soo-woo' on it
|
| The youth want it in groups to use the loop on this
|
| A bad man, that’s what I am, an odd one
|
| Never ask me what your broad done
|
| I’ma say to the brethren Wagwan
|
| Solid as Haile Selassie, so it’s nobody to stop me
|
| Plus I got Maudie to watch me, free from the thottie’s debauchery
|
| Stay away from fed’s wires, come fake with us and you gonna get lead fired
|
| 'Cause we known to say som’n, do som’n (what?), Red Byers
|
| And if I ever started to fall
|
| I’d land with both feet on the ground, makin' me ten feet tall
|
| Looking like, «Wassup now?» |
| Say som’n, do som’n
|
| «Wassup now?» |
| Say som’n, do som’n
|
| Ah me? |
| Say som’n, do som’n
|
| Still OG Say som’n, do som’n
|
| If I said it I meant it, this how I live
|
| I’ll die for it, that’s how I am
|
| You can’t send a suburban black or white cop who never been to the hood,
|
| to the hood
|
| 'Cause the perception they get from all the killings on the TV ain’t never good,
|
| in the hood
|
| So it’s nervous when they give service, no courage can lead to murders
|
| The squirters make them assertive and I heard it can’t be refurbished
|
| When the word is «We deserve it» 'cause someone alerted
|
| We flirted with purges, leavin' us dead and deserted
|
| Permanently dirted, inserted in a pine box, I’m not dyin' shot
|
| Tryna make my time stop, N9ne got them slimes that mind pop
|
| And they never do dime drop, born on N9ne' block to crime dot
|
| Then the rhymes locked, where they find bop
|
| I can still walk on Highland, walk on Wayne, claimin' what I ought to claim
|
| Soft and sensitive simple suckers, they take the walk of shame
|
| Heads wire, like if they bled, ours, the dead flyers
|
| Because we say som’n, do som’n, Red Byers
|
| And if I ever started to fall
|
| I’d land with both feet on the ground, makin' me ten feet tall
|
| Looking like, «Wassup now?» |
| Say som’n, do som’n
|
| «Wassup now?» |
| Say som’n, do som’n
|
| Ah me? |
| Say som’n, do som’n
|
| Still OG Say som’n, do som’n
|
| All I got is my name
|
| Long as my name is good, I’m good
|
| Feel evil, really though, sinister shit for illy blokes
|
| Who milly tote for silly folks, bustin' 'til they chilly most
|
| Kill these broke enemies, finna be until he croaks
|
| Leavin' 'em wrapped in a drilly coat
|
| Crossin' him with a chin like a billy goat
|
| We talk this way 'cause we been through so much
|
| Impossible to have no guts
|
| Anybody fakin', we say hold up, we got our street and city sewed up
|
| That’s from all the fightin' and bumpin', we found the light in the sunken
|
| Hole, down is plight and dysfunction, plowed us right into something
|
| Hours frightin' and then funkin' but the cowards pryin' and punchin'
|
| And the pal is tryna trump him, now we flyin' and bumpin'
|
| Flyin' higher than med tryers, we bred sires and they bed lie-ers
|
| They get nothing and we got everything, Fred Meyer
|
| I salute the triple OG, Red Byers |
