i'm overchargin' niggaz for what they did to the cold crush

pay us like you owe us for all the years that you hold us

we can talk

but money talks so talk mo' bucks

yeah. hove is back

life stories told through rap

niggaz actin' like i sold you crack

like i told you sell drugs.no. hove did that so hopefully you won't have to go through that

i was raised in the pro-jects

roaches and rats

smokers out back

sellin' they mama's sofa

lookouts on the corner

focused on the ave

ladies in the window

focused on the kinfolk

me under a lamp post

why i got my hand closed?

cracks in my palm

watchin' the long arm o' the law

so you know i seen it all before

i seen hoop dreams deflate like a true fiend's weight

to try and to fail

the two things i hate

succeed in this rap game

the two things is great

h to the izz-o

v to the izz-a

i gets bizzay

h to the izz-o

v to the izz-a.
