Murs - G's Era lyrics

[Verse One: Jabee] Hope you noticed, just trying to stay focused No hocus pocus tricks, just trying to stay potent Floating in and out, this is how we do it Money don't make the man and then just face the music Lace it Just trying to get this work off the streets Base it Trying to get some work I can keep Face it Everybody purp' off the streets Satan got a hold from lukewarm to cold Said he'd rather hold his pistol than silver and gold Forever where it sits, better innocent For never giving it to the Blood and the Crips I'm safe in any hood, safe on any strip My generation penetrates the nation with a clip The grip, the handle, the trigger, the barrel I grew up and I grew around the gang bang era Living through that man I can prolly live forever What's up? [Hook: Jabee] {x2} I'm somewhere in between Nas and Eazy-E I'm somewhere in between Mos Def and Pimp C I'm somewhere in between L.A. and N.Y.C No matter where you from just consider me a G [Verse Two: Murs] Look, I'm from where the police come before the ambulance The only come up was sports and moving hand to hand I wanted blue Dickies moms bought me Hammer pants My homies Crip walked, I did the Hammer dance Too Legit though, mentality to get doe See you with my homies and they ask, "Is you a Crip bro?" Use to sell d**, get buzzed with the brothers But I really wasn't with us all k**ing one another So I did the math, totaled all the sums To me enemies with guns wasn't making no funds And they wasn't having fun plus they wasn't getting none And all the fly chicks wasn't messing with them bums Read a couple books, wrote a couple rhymes Some went ahead as crooks and did a couple crimes Now I'm writing letters to my friends doing time And I could've been them so I guess I'm doing fine Talking to the little homie saying, "Keep your nose clean." Chill with them pills, kick back with the codeine You can't be a kingpin acting like a dope fiend This street life is short you can blink and miss the whole thing [Hook]
