Vallejo California, if you blink you might miss it (You been so good to me) The game's been good to me My fans been good to me The money been good to me G-O-D been good to me You all I need You all I need You all I need You all I need [Verse 3:] Third verse, more than half my life Since teenagers, I gotta thank my wife Since we was little young cubs Born in the struggle, broke, livin off of love This is the actual, not a non-theatrical movie I thank God for my sons, Issue and Droop-E Even though they divorced, my mama and my daddy My sister, my brothers, my cousins and my family I love y'all, and my fans when they hated Were down with my futuristic a** way before I made it And all my real ones with some balls Went out funkin, beefin, feudin, n***as made some phone calls Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta - Pow! Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta - Pow! Ratata-tat, put him on his back Bust a s**er head (?) The rap game's been good with me Stuck when me when I didn't even have a penny You lames can say what you like But I been in it for 22, I gotta be doin somethin right That means I'm not a overnight Overnight sensation, didn't happen over night I broke barriers for independence, mayne, I set the tone They probably won't 'preciate me till I'm gone (You been so good to me) The game's been good to me My fans been good to me The money been good to me G-O-D been good to me You all I need You all I need You all I need You all I need (You been so good to me)
