[Intro]
(It's all bout the respect money and power)
You know where I'm from its, it about the respect, money, and power
That's all we chase, i mean that's what we grow up, knowing, to live for,)
[Hook]
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
Where I'm from they strive for that
Live and die for that
Pull up with 40 out the window squealing tires for that
Where I'm from they ride for that
Catch 25 for that
Walk up put 40 to the temple eye to eye for that
[Verse 1]
Saw a man meet his d**h, for 20 dollars shootin' clacks
Watched his hand clench his chest, heard the bottle when it smashed
Watched the robber get the stash, mama hollerin' from the porch
"Not my boy!, not my boy!" oh my God I hear her voice
5 years pa**, now in mask, I stand quiet by the door
Wait for fam, co*k the gat, run in, lie them on the floor
You know why we here, where's the dope and money
See i don't wanna to k** nobody
Get over here take me to the dope and money
Please don't make me k** nobody
Fresh as f** ain't hard to tell, that me and mine jus got us one
Hell raisers raised hella buck, that's EC's finest youngest guns
Pullin' hoes was never sh**, money, clothes, but never trick
I don't even pay attention f** I look like helpless b**h
Now I ain't never learned sh** f**in' wit movies
But when Scarface said it I swear he was talkin' to me
Since then
[Hook]
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
Where I'm from they strive for that
Live and die for that
Pull up with 40 out the window squealing tires for that
Where I'm from they ride for that
Catch 25 for that
Walk up put 40 to the temple eye to eye for that
[Verse 2]
Cartoons and berry crunch, cartoons and berry crunch
3, 9, 12, 45, and 61
Hard time America, from the drama house where the fights at
To my grandmamas til the fight pa** where I spent most my nights at
It was cartoons, and captain crunch, cartoons and captain crunch
HBO, disney channel, man did i have fun
If I could've stayed, I might've changed
But i couldn't so I didn't
Not my way of placing blame, i knew I'd soon be in the system
I was too in tune to listen, to the voices of the warning
As a youth I was Imprisoned, by the noises of the morning
So so soon I was a victim, to the poisons of the 40
Took the tool with which I'd become, the lore of many stories
Lurking at 4 in the morning, at stores or whatevers open
For what's in drawers and what they holdin', homie lord knows I was broken
Jus a poor soul wantin more than, Ramen noodles and offbrands
Opportunist wit Glock plans, find a spot where they got bands
It all began
[Hook]
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
It's all bout the respect, money, and power
Where I'm from they strive for that
Live and die for that
Pull up with 40 out the window squealing tires for that
Where I'm from they ride for that
Catch 25 for that
Walk up put 40 to the temple eye to eye for that
