On the bus / dippin' to the crib
I had dibs on the seat with Jedi and Nick
Rocked beats from Leimert / to Hope and 3rd
When I got home / This was first
Plugged headphones in / Catch the break
Hella young with the system / Ya boy was straight
on the turntables / Turned labels
Back and forth / Forth and back
Then down the street to 43rd Place, a G
with a slim face and a slick case of tapes
Ten bones / If you was known
I let the turntable go for the microphone
I used to sell / mix tapes
But now I'm an MC
I got the rhymes and beats
I used to rock them tapes
The Life and the Blowed kept my rap fresh
So I took it around the world signifying the West
Like Acey and 10 and Myka Trey Nine
Unknown styles way ahead of they time
then it progressed / respect hit the left
R.I.P. Ganjah K and Yusef
Post Warner / Up in the club, I mixed cuts
That's Cuz from N.T.Dub tearing it up
Money never was a part of the rap
Paid in daps, snaps, and handclaps
Steady ready for the break / Pulse starts to race
You was hype, you was hype
Yay-uuurrrrr / The beat got flair
and I got moves, LABHZ crew
Those were the dues / without making papes
I'ma throw back to slangin' mix tapes

While I got your attention
My intention ain't to cause tension
Ya'll hella hype, crisis intervention
Mob control, that's gang prevention
You guilty by association
Turned up, northbound navigation
Bent back offa blazin' and a libation
Gyration like she hankerin' for hydration
That's a deep-down thirst
Ya'll the worst when you ain't gotta work
Jerks lurk with a smirk while she twerks
Bubbles 'bout to burst, 'cause I'm averse
I get cold when the heater drop
Lookin' 'round like, "Some of ya'll need to stop"
You can do better than that
You can do better than that
You can do better than that
Do better, do better
Captives captivated
Elated only when you get faded
Five hundred likes, thinking that you made it
Recycling the cycle they created
Go on and get that material
Here we go, slave masters like, "cheerio"
Baggin', put you in a box like cereal
Keep your weary goals off the ethereal
Living for the present
That decision's messin' with it, giving stressin'
Regression away from the depth in
life lessons leaves life lessened
Rock bottom, trying to be the top
Wait, SMH, some of ya'll need to stop
You can do better than that
You can do better than that
You can do better than that
Do better
