started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol
on the corner rag hangin'
slangin' crystal
i said you gangbanging let me see credentials
and when i pull this gun out you know how this go
started with a dollar and a dream!
started with a dollar and a dream!
i was fathered by the bastards
pardon my mannerisms
the curtiss magnet that managed without the metal with him
how the hell i did it? i let god ad lib it
i put that on leetwood
i ain't lying one sentence
bitch
i started with a dollar and a dream
we went from helping old ladies with their groceries at alpha beta
for a couple quarters to a baby hustling something major
we had to grow up sooner or later
but
i'm so del amo
my mama still stay off anna lee
carson across my belly
i prove you lost already
roccett my big brother
bishop let the door crack
game took me on my first tour
now look where we at
in the studio getting paid to reflect on that
documenting true facts
not to mention this the documentary 2 too
you do the addition in ballerina shoes
enough with the clever raps
it's more important than that
i put my city on the map
nigga
yeah
i really put my city on the map
i mean
when the last time you heard carson on the track
nigga?
let alone when they calling out stomping grounds on the west
i'll wait
yeah
that's what i thought
i'm the best
nigga
this the new west
nigga
respect that
it's top dawg
all i'm missing is the red hat
but don't question what pocket i had left
my handkerchief
i'm guilty by affiliation
in many ways gangsta
but let me explain something
a paradox if you may
i threw all my fresh supreme chuck taylors today
and then i got a call from chuck taylor
i'm saying
the game ain't changed
we still changing the game
soul!
started with a dollar and a dream and a pistol
on the corner rag hangin'
slangin' crystal
i said you gangbanging let me see credentials
and when i pull this gun out you know how this go
started with a dollar and a dream!
started with a dollar and a dream!
my first album was a set up
i was the little nigga pac was talking to
when he said keep your head up"
