[Intro: Takbar]
Yeah, you know
n***as prolly shoulda been taking this rap more serious
But when you gettin' money in the streets forreal
It's kinda hard to stop and go to the booth, you know
When that paper steadily callin' you all day
You get sidetracked from this sh**, ya know what I'm sayin'
And only real n***as gettin' money will understand this sh**
A lot of times these rappers only talk sh** they see
They emulatin life, street life
A lot of these motherf**ers ain't never got no cash
So they had plenty of time to be in the stu
You know, sleepin' in and all that sh**
But n***a, we was really rippin' and runnin'
Gettin this motherf**in' money
And it's prolly my callin'
I shoulda been did this sh** a long time ago
But I was gettin' to that paper
Please don't judge me, sh**
I'ma D-Boy so you know all the hoes gon' love me
10 toes down, not one less
And everyday I wake up n***a I'ma ball n' flex (ballin')
[Hook: Chinx Drugz and Tak]
I would've been here sooner (x2)
But I was caught up in the hoes
Caught up in the cars
Caught up in the money
Caught up in the life
I would've been here sooner (But I got caught up in the dope game)
Talking bout this money made me feel.. (I got caught up in the dope game)
A certain type of way, certain type of way (I got caught up in the dope game)
Sorry for the wait (I got caught up in the dope game) (x2)
[Verse 1]
Better late than never, perfect timing for the money
Watchin' n***as ball I swear to god it made me hungry
Blowin' California just a product of the corner
Talkin' out of turn I had them n***as run up on you
Whip to chill a n***a broke his wrist and bought a foreign
n***as k** you for this lifestyle if they can't afford it
Bank 12 stories
Drop top shorty
co*k Glock 40'
Hit the court and drop 40
It's hot up in the kitchen turn the fan up
Quick to sit and when you piss, a n***a stand up
n***a quit the b**hin', n***a stand up
Retaliations when them n***as hit your man up
Young n***as aiming at your head for them dollars
n***a talk trash, find his head in the garbage
We ain't gotta k** him, he was head on arrival
n***a paranoid, man I swear I'm getting followed
[Hook: Chinx Drugz and Tak]
I would've been here sooner (x2)
But I was caught up in the hoes
Caught up in the cars
Caught up in the money
Caught up in the life
I would've been here sooner (But I got caught up in the dope game)
Talking bout this money made me feel.. (I got caught up in the dope game)
A certain type of way, certain type of way (I got caught up in the dope game)
Sorry for the wait (I got caught up in the dope game) (x2)
[Verse 2]
Bendin' corners, ridin' on them n***as no insurance
Feds rush the kitchen, throw the chickens down the toilet
f** them n***as talkin', straight to business I was on it
Dope flow fiends, tell you Christmas every morning
n***a back when I got pinched I prayed I'd bail out
Now I sit on red guts, pushin' to the red line
Straight to bucket on them n***as talkin' cleared out
Hatin' holidays because the pens and your mail out
It's hot up in the kitchen turn the fan off
Lights flash when them n***as pull the van up
Told my n***as go and get it f** you scared of?
For you be a man down, keep your head up
All you n***as told me use a green light
'Member n***a used to move to workin' for the clean light
n***a drop his top they be aimin at your bean light
Youngin was a church n***a, now he throwing B's like
[Hook: Chinx Drugz and Tak]
I would've been here sooner (x2)
But I was caught up in the hoes
Caught up in the cars
Caught up in the money
Caught up in the life
I would've been here sooner (But I got caught up in the dope game)
Talking bout this money made me feel.. (I got caught up in the dope game)
A certain type of way, certain type of way (I got caught up in the dope game)
Sorry for the wait (I got caught up in the dope game) (x2)
