| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect
|
| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Just give me my respect, give me my respect
|
| Been a boss since I’ve been a boss
|
| Paid dues, dues paid bro at any cost
|
| Tossing in the towel, never thought of that
|
| Had to watch all my dreams die, then I brought 'em back
|
| Resurrected, too connected to be disrespected
|
| My enemies so insecure that they’re ineffective
|
| Collecting checks after the show’s done
|
| Never flashing pistols, still consider me a shogun
|
| I’m all war, West LA 'til they box me up
|
| Or 'til them crooked ASS cops come and lock me up
|
| A free man using free speech
|
| Until they free Mumia and they free Meech
|
| To each his own, and I got mine
|
| First six figures that I saw, I was not signed
|
| Undermined, underground, I was underrated
|
| But if I listened to them, I would have never made it
|
| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect
|
| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Just give me my respect, give me my respect
|
| You gotta get down for you to get up
|
| Eyes on the prize and keep your chin up
|
| Look at how the Hot Boys split up
|
| The ones we start with don’t always finish with us
|
| It’s every man for himself
|
| But I wouldn’t be SHIT if the fans didn’t help
|
| Humble, level-headed and I’m down to earth
|
| Never dealing with devils, I know what I’m worth
|
| Ashes to ashes, and dirt to dirt
|
| Down to die for the craft because I put in work
|
| From the ground up, that’s how I built this
|
| Put the murder to the music and I kill SHIT
|
| One car ride from a homicide
|
| Should have shot off all six but I let them slide
|
| Wrote a song, killed them all in the same night
|
| And it’s a trip that one track changed my whole life
|
| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect
|
| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Just give me my respect, give me my respect
|
| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Don’t let 'em tell you money’s better than respect
|
| To the depths, I’ve been to the depths
|
| From my last breath to the last check
|
| I do it for the cause, never the effect
|
| Just give me my respect, give me my respect |
