[Verse 1] What's really good? When a n***a from the hood Make a couple of dollars and get a brand new Benz Start losing friends or either they stuck to 'em Long as he give a buck to 'em Y'all know them n***as that always got the best plan But need financial backing, lacking collateral Everything is flattery, chargin' up the battery Y'all n***as ain't ga**in' me I seen crews destroyed because of big egos I seen Big destroyed because of his people Black people, rap people And we do it to ourselves every time, it's the rap sequel Until the game is faded and the credits roll Many wanna see they name, but never play the role With faithful friends and strong protection You could keep your life in the right direction Pete Rock is the real Konexion And DJ Premier is the Bump's KoleXXXion That's why these n***as barely breakin' even Show up at the table, low money Fore the record is out you start thievin' [Hook] It's all good when n***as wanna see you drown And don't come around when the money's down I got love for you I make this music and share my feelings But keep my gun around for you I just want to rock the microphone baby Lay this down for you Hip-hop for the haters Yohyah yo yo yo yo yo yo, yohyah yo yo [Verse 2] Yo, why everybody A&Rs? Or even rap stars And try to act like music has come that far Do you know who you are? Do you know who they are?
What kind of n***as showed up on the radar Yo Baby Pa pat 'em down, Suede check his man Move like that with k**ers, cause we can Bump on the stage and the beat is rockin' Riders in the house cause of Biz & Rocky Hip-hop wanna be, stand far away from the Hip-hop raw emcee I know you would k** to be as raw as me We spit tickets for flights cause there's more to see So turn it up and let's blast these haters out the room Then wipe 'em off the deck, get 'em off your neck Pick the way you find your friends or it'll destroy your future Cause he'll be the closest to you to shoot you [Hook] [Verse 3] Yo, love ain't betrayal, betrayal is hate That cause some cats to do things they can't take back So watch who, watch your back And the n***a who watch him Get somebody else that could watch that I seen it with Cena, jealousy formed When me and John Cena formed a brotherly bond Some people too much into status So they never sit right with the fact that you the baddest Word up, jealousy is just a germ in the blood stream That won't let you put loyalty above things In the right place, where it ought to be If the play is confusing, call an audible I work hard so lifestyle's affordable I spit hard so micstyle's recordable And must I remind you again About that 44 Magnum travelin', portable [Hook]
