[Ludacris]
Yeah
Gotta feel me on this one
Ainīt none of this shit happen overnight
We talking about a long time coming motherfucker
[Chorus 2X: Dolla Boy (Tity Boi)]
It ainīt clean on these streets(uh, uh)
Itīs mean on these streets(yeah)
Blocks up, hats down
Fiends on these these streets
(So please pay attention when you coming around
Cause the blocks got itīs eyebrows down, ya heard me)
[Verse One: Ludacris]
Iīm still back for the first damn time
So grab a hold of your seat while I OPEN YOUR MIND
And take you back from when I dropped down from heaven
And I came on my moms and I had a MIC as my fucking weapon
When I was three I was just a little G
But if you looked in my eyes you would see the future of a real MC
And at the age of nine I wrote my first ryhme
Soon rapping became one of my favorite pasttimes
Everywhere that I went spitting and dabbling
Showing my ass growing up and started traveling
From one city to the next luda landed in the ATL
Where the pimps and the players dwell
I made a tape did shows and got EX-PO-SURE
And kept learning as my black ass got OLDER
No matter what I just kept at my trade
I made mistakes but still stayed sharper than a GINSUI BLADE
[Chorus X2]
[Verse Two: Ludacris]
Age 14, my talent show, a beast out of cage
Would have won, but got disqualified for JUMPING OFF STAGE
But I didnīt care cause this game started to open itīs arms
When I was at Banaker High School pulling fire alarms
So I could get a crowd around me make a name for my BLOCK
People told me keep flowing they didnīt want me to STOP
Back when big nose John was my human beatbox
Skipped out on school hit open campus and look out for street COPS
Now Iīm known around the town as that "Nigga who raps"
From the hill of Maze high to them G roll traps
And I was still making demos perfecting the craft
Some said I wouldnīt make it they would giggle and laugh
So I picked up a couple books from DONALD GOINES
About the busimess of this shit and how to FLIP A FEW COINS
By the age of eighteen I was destined to MAKE IT
My bank account read DISTURBING THE PEACE INCORPORATED
[Chorus X2]
[Verse Three: Ludacris]
Age 18, Iīm struggling just to survive
But I got a gig working for change at 97.5
Now Iīm rapping on the radio increasing their NUMBERS
Still Ludacris, but Alias was Chris LOVA, LOVA
Late nights Iīm in the studio using they tools
Me and Poon was smoking weed and breaking all of they rtules
And I was krunk, ALL THE BIG WIGS WAS HEARING MY SONGS
But nobody did SHIT and they was taking too long
Three years went past and I saved enough cash
To make my own record company and put my self on BLAST
the album was independent it was just for the streets
I sold one thousand albums in my first fucking week
Then went on to sell fifty, put the cash in my hand
All the record companies biting, but I chose Def Jam
The main reason that I made it and I love the A town
Was because the BLOCK had itīs EYEBROWS DOWN, ya heard me
[chorus X2]
[Outro: Ludacris]
Yah, Iveī been waiting a lifetime to get what the fuck I got
Itīs real man
Hardest working nigga in show business
Believe that
Shout out to Lil fate, I dub, Chaka Zulu
Yah Woo
The peopleīs music I used to play some happy and some jealous
Cause Iīm showered with cash and they canīt remove they umbrellas
The peopleīs music I used to play some happy and some jealous
Cause Iīm showered with cash and they canīt remove they umbrellas
Uh
[music fades]
You hear it raining donīt ya
