Yeah
See Ive been livin’ like the mothafuckin Baby, you know, huh
Real niggasll recognize this one
Whew
First you get the money, then the power come 
Then respect 
When you in the street and you a real nigga 
Yeah, you get more respect 
I’ve been in the streets since I was a youngin 
Posted at the store when I aint had nothin 
Mama always told me I was gon be somethin 
I aint never tried to listen to a youngin’ 
Since a youngin, yeah, I’ve been poppin my own gun
I remember times my daddy, he wasnt there for me
They say Im up, now the nigga tryna care for me
Grandmama always told me that my uncle gonna be somethin’
Now I look at him now, he a mothafuckin star
Young crew on the block, we was playin burglar bars
Hate the fact that Phil flipped in that mothafuckin car
Partna runnin to the door sayin bitch, I run you off 
Yeah, I was on the block totin big fire at a young age 
Yeah, yeah, I aint never listened to an old head, yeah, I give a fuck what they say
Remember them days at the bottom
Yeah, we were breakin into houses
We were walkin on our feet like we was in a track meet
Late nights, we aint had nowhere to go, yeah 
We were walking to my partners house
Everybody gangin up on the floor
Back then we wanna be some ballboys
Then we hit the block and we turned into some tall boys
Talk a nigga down, we was on the slime shit
We were wearin the same clothes, we aint never had shit
Then it came to the point where a nigga got shit
Put my bros in a position now everybody lit
Let the beat rock
We was just breakin into cars 
Partna took me on my first move, taught me how to rob 
He had been to the street, yeah, he was a big boy
Yeah, we was some beginners, yeah, we had to learn hard 
First you get the money, then the power come 
Then respect 
When you in the street and you a real nigga 
Yeah, you get more respect

Partna runnin to the door sayin bitch, I run you off 
Yeah, I left a brick on that dashboard 
I got game from my pop and didnt ask for it 
Ive been chasin this cash, I need tankers
Got the wood on the front with the long sword
Lotta boogers, they tryna get me on for it
Lotta hookers, they pass me they thongs, boy
I treated them, its a long tour
Hundred red bandanas at a resort
Im bout to see bout it
I was Bali, no Reebokin
I was balanced and detoxin 
40 Xanax got me higher 
Take a flight, Im like good-bye ya
1.8 for the Bugatti 
I hit from the side like a hook
Kool-Aid pack got these lil niggas shook 
School everyday got my pockets on books 
Yeah-yeah-yeah 
I know lil baby cant find me
Ive been smokin this kush like a pine tree
And Ive been prepared since the 90s
I call her short, she wan bite me
Shit, I caught my first lick
I shot him and stained up his white tee
