[00:01.050]
[00:22.480] What money got to do with it
[00:24.040] When I don't know the full definition of a rap image
[00:26.660] I'm trapped inside the ghetto and I ain't proud to admit it
[00:29.100] Institutionalized, I keep runnin' back for a visit
[00:31.770] Hol' up, get it back
[00:34.450]
[00:36.890] I said I'm trapped inside the ghetto and I ain't proud to admit it
[00:39.720] Institutionalized, I could still kill me a nigga, so what?
[00:43.090]
[00:45.430] If I was the president
[00:48.420] I'd pay my mama's rent
[00:51.160] Free my homies and them
[00:53.430]
[00:54.440] Bulletproof my Chevy doors
[00:56.510] Lay in the White House and get high, Lord
[00:59.750]
[01:00.270] Who ever thought?
[01:01.230]
[01:01.800] Master take the chains off me
[01:04.340]
[01:07.200] Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom
[01:09.040] Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
[01:10.150] Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom
[01:11.880] Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
[01:13.170] Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom
[01:15.000] Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
[01:16.140] Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
[01:17.060] Shit
[01:18.240] Life can be like a box of chocolate
[01:20.550] Quid pro quo, somethin' for somethin', that's the obvious
[01:23.570] Oh shit, flow's so sick, don't you swallow it
[01:26.560] Bitin' my style, you're salmonella poison positive
[01:29.470] I can just, alleviate the rap industry politics
[01:32.480] Milk the game up, never lactose intolerant
[01:35.300] The last remainder of real shit, you know the obvious
[01:38.420] Me, scholarship no, streets put me through colleges
[01:41.430] Be all you can be, true, but the problem is
[01:44.370] Dream only a dream if work don't follow it
[01:47.340] Remind me of the homies that used to know me, now follow this
[01:50.240] I'll tell you my hypothesis, I'm probably just way too loyal
[01:53.390] K Dizzle will do it for you, my niggas think I'm a god
[01:56.440] Truthfully all of 'em spoiled, usually you're never charged
[01:59.420]
[01:59.950] But somethin' came over you once I took you to the fuckin' BET Awards
[02:04.350] You lookin' at artists like the harvests
[02:06.940] So many Rollies around you and you want all of them
[02:09.950] Somebody told me you thinkin' 'bout snatchin' jewelry
[02:12.430]
[02:13.070] I should've listened when my grandmama said to me
[02:15.600] Shit don't change until you get up and wash yo' ass, nigga
[02:20.170]
[02:21.450] Shit don't change until you get up and wash yo' ass, boy
[02:27.520] Shit don't change until you get up and wash yo' ass, nigga
[02:32.140]
[02:33.260] Oh now, slow down
[02:37.520]
[02:39.430] And once upon a time, in a city so divine
[02:42.260] Called West Side Compton, there stood a little nigga
[02:45.110] He was 5 foot something, God bless the kid
[02:48.480] Took his homie to the show and this is what they said
[02:51.360] Fuck am I 'posed to do when I'm lookin' at walkin' licks?
[02:54.190] The constant big money talk 'bout the mansion and foreign whips
[02:57.150] The private jets and passport, presidential glass floor
[03:00.250] Gold bottles, gold models, sniffin' up the ass for
[03:03.200] Instagram flicks, suck a dick, fuck is this?
[03:05.940] One more suck away from wavin' flashy wrist
[03:08.030] My defense, mechanism tell me to get him, quickly because he got it
[03:12.110] It's a recession, then why the fuck he a King of Diamonds?
[03:15.110] No more livin' poor, meet my four-four
[03:17.900] When I see 'em, put the per diem on the floor
[03:20.710] Now Kendrick, know they're your co-workers
[03:22.930] But it's gon' take a lot for this pistol go cold turkey
[03:25.980] Now I can watch his watch on the TV and be okay
[03:28.890] But see I'm on the clock once that watch landin' in LA
[03:31.870] Remember steal from the rich and givin' it back to the poor?
[03:34.910] Well that's me at these awards
[03:36.290] I guess my grandmama was warnin' a boy
[03:38.590] She said
[03:39.210] Shit don't change until you get up and wash yo' ass, nigga
[03:43.610]
[03:45.210] Shit don't change until you get up and wash yo' ass, boy
[03:51.170] Shit don't change until you get up and wash yo' ass, nigga
[03:55.610]
[03:56.840] Oh now, slow down
[04:01.080]
[04:02.960] And once upon a time, in a city so divine
[04:05.760] Called West Side Compton, there stood a little nigga
[04:08.580] He was 5 foot something, dazed and confused
[04:12.000] Talented but still under the neighborhood ruse
[04:14.930] You can take your boy out the hood but you can't take the hood out the homie
[04:19.400] Took his show money, stashed it in the mozey wozey
[04:22.390] Hollywood's nervous
[04:23.990] Fuck you, goodnight, thank you much for your service
