"i'm a little mannish mother****er | |
I take after my older brother | |
Started off selling marijuana, but now i'm selling yola.." | |
[e-40] | |
Here take a swig of this bourbon | |
Hit that, hit that baby | |
Aight dude.. ay who who's foolin right there? (who dat?) | |
Aight nigga ay get down nigga .. {*gunfire starts going off*} | |
Ay nigga get down nigga! ay nigga get down nigga (shit!) | |
Wuh, we about | |
Seventy-five extra mail mannish hard-headed hoodlum-ass niggaz | |
On the dopetrack workin overtime full of ****in 'd' (d!) | |
Runnin through somewhere in the neighborhood | |
Of about seven-hundred thousand in illegal narcotics | |
Generatin through mah street, a week | |
Why mother****ers gotta ask me how i'm doin if i'm alright? | |
When a mother****er's starvin and strugglin | |
Even on my hip pretty much needlin and jugglin | |
There still ain't gonna never be enough lovin! | |
I'm tired of rippin and runnin, dodgin and duckin bullets | |
I know my time is comin - death is on me bad | |
The walls is closin in, i wish i had a dad | |
But left when i was ten, so moms is all i had | |
And she was there for me until i ran away from the pad | |
And now she disowned me and she don't claim me | |
Reverend wouldja put some blessin oil on my head | |
Before i end up dead, gall bladder full of lead - scared | |
I guess a hard-head make a soft-ass (??) | |
I ain't gon' last if i keep ****in with this fast life | |
Chorus: e-40 and lil' e (repeat 2x) | |
He would grow up to be nothin but a hoodlum | |
Or either in jail, or someone would shoot him, uh | |
(he would grow up to be nuttin but a hoodlum | |
Or either in jail, or someone would shoot him) | |
[e-40] | |
Ah, i page my ties even though the money's filthy | |
Don't wanna go to church, because i feel guilty | |
Nope - i don't wanna die - cause when the preacher preach the gospel | |
I be ready to cry - up in the church of pentecostal | |
I don't think i'ma make it to see twenty-five | |
Til i wash my hands and come clean | |
Shit i'll be hella happy if i can just live to see sixteen | |
No life to give for that nastiness | |
As a rebellious disobedient-ass problem child | |
He's easily influenced - hangin around the wrong crowd | |
I'm willin to do almost anything, | |
Whatever it takes to make my allowance | |
I'm on prescription medication, chemically off-balance | |
Got me snatchin up (??), pickin up hits | |
Pick-pickin indo's (do's), and pullin licks | |
Chorus | |
[lil' e] | |
But daddy? (yes son) tie my shoes (okay) lace me up (uh) | |
Hook me up, like a tow-track maaaaan (aight) | |
Ear-hustlin, make like a pampered suck-up game-a-saur (what?) | |
When it comes to this thang man i'm conniseur (conniseur) | |
I read through the punk registry in the robb report (what?) | |
I come off like dat | |
Grew up around slick talkers (ah) | |
A pa-a poppin con artists (what?) | |
Go straight to the (??) and get a bad leather jacket | |
(??) (??) bankrupt! | |
[e-40] | |
Boy you.. | |
Like you when i was younger | |
But i got my life together and i bettered myself as i got older | |
Na-uh now i entertain (entertain) a sss-uh, a-smeb rover (a smeb rover) | |
Street smarts with a degree and a diploma | |
Chorus 2x | |
[e-40] | |
Ah give it to me, uhh.. | |
Uhh.. | |
Uhh.. | |
Come on, uhh.. | |
Give it to me, uhh.. |
