Speaker A
The feds are watching, niggas plotting to get me. Will I survive? Will I die?
00:06
Speaker A
Come on, let's picture the possibility. Giving me chances, lawyers making a grip. I told the judge I was raised wrong, and that's why I blazed shit. Was hyper as a kid, cold as a teenager, on my mobile calling big shots on the scene.
00:17
Speaker A
Major, packing hundreds in my drawers. Fuck the law. Bitches I fuck with a passion. I'm living rough and wrong, catching cases at a fast rate. Balling in the fast lane, hustle till the morning, never stop. I put the top down, now it's time to floss my shit.
00:38
Speaker A
Keep your head up, nigga. Make these motherfuckers suffer. Game sharper than the motherfucking razor blade. Save money, bring bitches, bitches bring lies. One nigga's getting jealous and motherfuckers die. Depend on me like the first and fifteen.
00:51
Speaker A
They might want me four for a second, but these folks won't get me. We got four niggas and low-rides and scheme ass screaming down. Gun smoke, gun smoke. Biggie Smalls for mayor. The Rock Slayer. The hookah layer. Motherfuckers say your prayers. Hail Mary full of grace. Smack the bitch in the face.
02:04
Speaker A
She don't remember shit, just the two hits. Her hitting the floor and me hitting the clits. Sucking on the tits, had the hooker begging for the dick. And your moms ain't ugly, love, my dick got rocked quick. I guess I was a combination
02:18
Speaker A
of House of Pain and Bobby Brown. I was bumping around and jumping around. Jaffer then I asked her who's the man, she said B.I.G. Then I bust in her E.Y.E.
02:49
Speaker A
I like ball skins, love a melanin, heart crushing me guitar. When I'm stuck in that, throw these bottles at the sea, don't tell them sentiment. I had the Land Rover, switch to the ball ring. I'm a gangsta, but I like to party. Pop

04:20
Speaker A

05:05
Speaker A
Let's take a trip, just sit back and light a spliff with this and don't slip on a funky dope track. Jump back, strapped with a fat Buddha sack and a 7-8 lac. Don't clean, gangsta lean, I got green. But I serve dubs like

05:41
Speaker A
to spend. Like you know when I creep real slow. Giving love to them players that I know is real G. The motherfucking world is a ghetto. Full of magazines, full clips and heavy metal. When the smoke settles I'm just looking for a big yellow. In

Did I fall off? Got you in your room ripping every chronic poster on your wall off? Just cause I put away the sawed off? Now I got you sitting back with a smirk, listening with your arms crossed. Questioning Dre's credibility. Wondering if it's still in me to produce hits. Y'all be killing me as if I need to make more in six cars that I paid for. We came a long
07:28
Speaker A
way from not giving a fuck, selling tapes out of a trunk to moving this far up. Now we got the whole world star struck, made a million plus and still don't give a motherfuck. Motherfucker, I'm Dre. I don't need your respect. I don't
