When I was lil’ G, way back when, didn’t have no shopz! Didn’t have no dough!

We use 2 live in da hood! Dundee St. (…next 2 Hitch Village!)
Das why can’t 4git, where I came. (4th …3RD Street)
Now um Ghetto Super-Stizzle!!! Runnin’ thangs! I can sit down to meals like Filet Mignon!
My check is long! My cash is flowin’! U look at me and say da nig%# got it goin on!
But where was U when I was stuck in da Hood? Where was U when we was choppin’ wood?
(Runnin’ from snakes ‘n-sh%t!) Das why I say, U misunderstood!!!!

Verse 2:
When I came up, times was hard. U know I have faith in GOD!
Now, dey takes prayer out of school. Not da way of da wise but da way of ah fool!!
But I still got my 40 acres and my mule! I kept my head! I kept my Black!! Suckaz like U, better git back! U Step in my face, U gittin’ Jack!!!
Not wit’ ah Pimp slap but with ah lawsuit! But if u try 2 play me U still git da BOOT!!!
