Slums |
We represent the slums. |
alright. |
Let’s get this motherfucker crunkin from Kentucky to Baghdad |
Ya pops was always gone but that didn’t make him a bad dad |
We still managed to eat, and come to think wattn’t half bad |
But Doug was always on us bout the things that we never had |
Now I was born in Oakland, better known as the Coke Town |
Done seen too many folk down, some put the soul down |
Done heard my momma cryin if I knew what I know now |
I’d pro’ly have to greet the party room with the fo' pound |
I’m tryna keep my head on straight to keep me from catchin |
In case I feel my insides burnin, musta swallowed all twenty-eight |
I’m drinkin Milk of Magnesia, but still I ain’t feelin straight |
Some mo' had murdered my granddad over real-estate |
Represent the slums… represent the slums… |
Represent the slums… aww, aww, aww, aww… |
Represent the slums… represent the slums… |
Represent the slums… aww, aww, aww, aww… |
Bummy, if I put it out — sucky, if I pull it out |
Ohh me, ya better kick it out, or ya livin in a haunted house |
Ran what you tried to run, came how you tried to come |
Did what you couldn’t do, difference between me and you |
Slum for a while now, country for a lifetime |
Cool is what I choose to be, but that ain’t what I used to be |
Muddy waters couldn’t drown a nigga, bloodhounds on the trail for real |
Shakin up this rap shit, givin niggas hell for real |
Turn a hold the dog deal, mucus and you hearin right |
National Geographic ain’t, fuckin with this wildlife |
Hissin; |
I’m finna strike, rattlin; |
I’m finna bite |
Hell with a blue light, fuckin with no rules tonight! |
Now once again, you see me layin down the law |
These cowards tryna catch me like my hustle got a flaw |
Bitch I’m Southern bred |
That’s where you break it down to raw and then you flush the rest |
I said you break it down to raw and then you flush the rest |
And I ain’t playin witcha’ll haters since y’all fucked up my order |
Got me playin with a gram, coulda been up to a quarter |
Now my cousin, called me up and said he finally did it |
Graduated from a handheld, to primary digits |
Cuz in the slums we don’t work we just grind and gamble |
Guarunteed I got that shit, niggas dyin to sample |
Now whattchu know about that work from the states of Georgia |
Cook so thick, collard, grits and water (we in the slums!) |
