| Got no time for the conversations or funny shit
|
| Nigga, only the reals who I get my money with
|
| Used to turn on the TV, see what I want
|
| And now the same one I dreamed about, the same one I’m stuntin' in
|
| In the 6−2, almost 26
|
| And every nigga that I’m with got a zip
|
| I look at this shit as one big table and best believe every nigga I’m with got
|
| a sit
|
| They try to hold us back, paint a picture of us, then sell it straight to the
|
| public
|
| You young, black, then you thuggin'
|
| What they don’t talk about the kid that came from nothin'
|
| Who stuck to what he believed in and turned himself into something great
|
| They should use that story to motivate
|
| But instead they’d rather focus on the fact that he’s a pothead
|
| Not the fact there’s not a lot where I lived
|
| 25 and not dead
|
| I’m tryna tell you somethin', this shit’s real
|
| When you work hard to get it that’s how you feel
|
| Them haters talk but they knowin' they ain’t in the way, no
|
| We started small to them houses in the hills
|
| To them houses in the hills
|
| Houses in the hills
|
| Houses in the hills
|
| To them houses in them hills
|
| You make a little money, take care and right yourself
|
| And people start coming up with they hand out
|
| People take their stresses and make them yours
|
| Well that’s just what comes with being a man
|
| I try to do all that I can to make sure that
|
| My son grow up without having to see half of the stuff I’ve been through
|
| But in life we all got our own path
|
| Don’t understand that by now you won’t begin to
|
| Cop another Rollex or Porsche try and get even with me
|
| Pulled up to the club, swear it looked like the dealer with me
|
| Cause we had so many cars it was stupid
|
| So I don’t see a reason to try and reason with me
|
| Made a couple million and fast too
|
| They ain’t teach a young nigga that in the classroom
|
| Or how to make your people better by taking knowledge and spreadin' it
|
| Instead bein' in the game, be ahead of it, in a better whip
|
| I’m tryna tell you somethin', this shit’s real
|
| When you work hard to get it that’s how you feel
|
| Them haters talk but they knowin' they ain’t in the way, no
|
| We started small to them houses in the hills
|
| To them houses in the hills
|
| Houses in the hills
|
| Houses in the hills
|
| To them houses in them hills
|
| Thousand dollar benefit plates
|
| No matter how high the stakes, niggas never outta place
|
| Now I’m high, Empire State
|
| Drunk stumblin', never will I tumble far from grace
|
| I’m one of them under-celebrated greats
|
| Under the influence of what Uncle Snoop threw me
|
| Soon as I stepped off the plane
|
| Switchin' four lanes like Jay and Jermaine
|
| Killin' beats, visitin' grave sites and pissin' champagne
|
| I been in the crib enjoying my habits
|
| Suckers figured this’ll be the perfect time to try me
|
| Try me
|
| Assumptions that I’m lunchin', gettin' sloppy
|
| I’m just gettin' better, seasoned veteran
|
| Eagle eye perspective, scope before I go in
|
| Come out with the whole hen
|
| A dollar and a dream
|
| Have a house on the hill and the world on a string
|
| I’m tryna tell you somethin', this shit’s real
|
| When you work hard to get it that’s how you feel
|
| Them haters talk but they knowin' they ain’t in the way, no
|
| We started small to them houses in the hills
|
| We started small to them houses in the hills
|
| We started small to them houses in the hills
|
| To them houses in the hills
|
| Houses in the hills
|
| Houses in the hills
|
| To them houses in them hills |
