Finally the TDRE is represntin' the PA
So back up and all you loud mouths shut the hell up
It's time to talk about the rumours we been hearing
Stab me in my back and when I see you, chump you cheering
You really jealous cause we're doing things, goin' places
I should smack the phony smile off your face
Before I made it, it was Jack Rules Town
Yeah, so give me 30 cash for a fifty dollar food stamp
That's the way it was and still is
But people say we sold out since we hit the business uh
So I decided to produce a gangsta swing

But now you're all that, because you do tours
People call me Campbell because they think I'm suit
Up on myself because I made a little loot
You got famous model Benz, a Rolley through the hood
Yeah and the old dirty burger joint still smellin' good
Uh, to show you ain't a damn thing change
So come correct fool when you flex my name
And if you don't punk, I gotta let you know
Good Times is our favorite show

To take you back to the hood of things

Cause you been bumpin' your guns like Wrigleys G
Sayin' he sounds like
This, he sounds like that
He sounds like this, he sounds like that
Oh what the f** sounds like a nut in the middle of your gut
Because you're full of jealousy because my fans love me

To take you back to the hood of things

How come you don't shoot craps like you used to?
None of your business, get out of my face fool
