they wanna see me go back to my old ways
i've been hustlin' for a while now
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
i wanted to be an amberlamps or a fireman
but i ended up being a product of my environment
they wanna put me up in retirement
immune to candlelight vigils
i deserve it but i'm far from being perfect
all the niggas in my assembly
y'all here to serve a purpose
a lotta you haters is bitches
you'll be dead before christmas you threaten me
i tell my young raccoons stop talking and just listen
don't be fuckin' off your paper on these felines
some of these pussies got more miles than delta airlines
they wanna see me go back to my old ways
i've been hustlin' for a while now
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
stay the fuck away from me
i'm wakin' up with a smile
being thorough is all i know and all i practice
i wanna meet john the baptist
chop it up with moses 'n'em
bow down to thy father and pay respect to him
i was raised in the center of the octagon
the junkies and fiends living under bridges
they wanna see me go back to my old ways
i've been hustlin' for a while now
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
niggas be too busy pocket-watchin' and countin' other people's paper
they be in and aware of theirself
to every reaction there's a reaction
that i ain't bullshittin' and i ain't rattin'
my intellectual intellect make me believe
some of my people out here starvin' and they hungry
in the name of the game i vow that i shall not
back down my loved ones and line 'em up
they wanna see me go back to my old ways
i've been hustlin' for a while now
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
i'ma keep that shit a thou wow
