They makin' comments while I'm makin' moves, all these faces blue
It's gon' cost just to see the boss, b**h, this Pay-Per-View
Back on me, try to plot on me, boy I'll pray for you
You gon' learn like on your way to school, not to play with dude
Go on and do it, Tim from Home Improvement, b**h I stay with tools
I'm at the crib, big sticks on the table, I ain't playin' pool
I'm all ready, tell 'em play and lose, I'll spray when they intrude
I'll leave 'em lyin', this ain't April Fool's, b**h you'll make the news
Stuck in the dezzy, I had the gun by my belly, ballin' like Buns off of Belly
Was sellin' mixtapes straight out the trunk of my Chevy, the streets though, they f**ed with it heavy (Whoo)
See, up in the books, we ain't had sh**, you woulda thought we was fastin'
Was all up in school, breakin' them rules and sellin' packs in between cla**es
Tryna see who could get it the fastest, sh**, I coulda been in a casket
But I gave 'em shots like a basket, had to smoke 'em and drop 'em like ashes
I took out haters like a bouncer, better ask my old opps, they could voucher
Mama worried about me in the streets, back and forth on that highway like three times a week (Facts)
I finally walked out of the trap (Facts), started bendin' that dough like a pretzel (Yeah)
Wasn't takin' no slaps on the wrist (Uh), I was facin' more time than a bezel
Mama told me when you shine too hard, they police gonna wanna arrest you
And a couple of n***as gon' test you, better make 'em say uncle like nephew
And these b**hes gon' try to impress you, have your baby then try to finesse you
Then she told me, "Tony, I suggest you watch the ones to your right and your left, too"
From the ones that been with you from day one, to the last person you sent a text to
Never let the fake fit in your schedule, if I didn't love you, I wouldn't correct you
