The Ambassador Lyrics


Sixty-eight inches above sea level
Ninety-three million miles above these devils
Play me in the winter, play me in the summer
Play me in the order, any orderPlay me in the winter, play me in the summer
Play me in the order, any order
Play me in the winter, play me in the summer
Play me in the order, any orderWe got another one pimp
Rock, wake 'em up, boy
Sick with 'em records, E40, Warner Brothers
I'm trying to get my beak wet
I'ma let you shoot the dice and I'm a sign thatStill hungry just ate
My game the same size as a dinner plate
The bay ain't been the same since I took a break
Where you been 40, buying real estate?I can't stop
Play me fast, fuck around and get mollywopped
Just got my car up out the shop
What color you paint it pimp? ApricotYou 'bout to spot me at a function with a petticoat
Wipin' the sweat off my face with a C-Note

They call me uncle 40 one
The ambassador, the top tamale
And to you slackers tryna' hate
40 [Incomprehensible] doin' greatI'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador of the gameI'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador of the gamePlay me in the winter , play me in the summer
I'm an old schooler and a newcomer
40 got spinach y'all, he be gassin'
After all these years he still snappin'That's what people be sayin'
There's something about him, he got some dylon rings
Real balkin', people really care about himLocal boy made good
Ex D-boy made it out the hood
Got his gouda out the park
Used to cook yola in a relish jarIf a sucka' pillow talk and softies out the water
Don't you sit there and let him murder mouth yo' partna'
Teach his ass a lesson
Tune him up, give him the thirty-second treatmentI'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador of the gameI'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador of the gameI live in the Bay with the sting rays and sharks
Delta a'eels, blind veels and sky marks
You can't be no mark
Marshmallows get popped if they ain't got no heartThumper happy, I hear they like to clap
Don't get mad or come back, get down where they mad at
We'll finish it if you start it
Air the club out like a motherfucka', park itMoney maniac
Scorpio, that's my zodiac
Ain't nothin' new under the sun
I reach in my pocket and give my one to the bumsWhen the homie go down
We bail his ass out, we pass the hat around
I remember when the thought the west was a goner
I gave us CPR and brought us out of comaI'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador of the gameI'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador, I'm the ambassador
I'm the ambassador of the gamePlay me in the winter, play me in the summer
Play me in the order, any order
Play me in the winter, play me in the summer
Play me in the order, any orderPlay me in the winter, play me in the summer
Play me in the order, any order
Play me in the winter, play me in the summer
Play me in the order, any order

The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
