| 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!) |
