[Verse 1: KAM & (Cold 187um)] Awww sh**, and you don't quit Brother KAM with another damn gangster hit Givin' it up, cause everybody ain't knowin' So try not to choke on this smoke I'm blowin' Goin' back to the gra**, roots for the real (With the black superman) Yeah, the man of steel, chill (But, um, sometimes I feel like a nut) So here we go, clownin' like I don't know what I'm pro-Black and crackin' out of control And when you make dough, they wanna slow your roll But you know, Dulo n***as, when you spot them 'Cause I'm from that Eastside bottom The Compton and Watts life, I got pride It's a Black thing, so ain't no other side I low-ride and I sag and cuss I cover my face with a rag and bust I kick up dust, then I shake the spot Move the crowd and try to make a knot I got a motivatin' rollerskatin' out on D's (Damn, here come One Time) n***a please, I'm givin' it up [Hook] [187] To everybody on the Eastside [KAM] Right, I'm givin' it up [187] Just givin' it up, to everybody on the Westside [KAM] Right, I'm givin' it up [187] Just givin' it up, to everybody on the Northside [KAM] Right, I'm givin' it up [187] Just givin' it up, to everybody on the Southside [KAM] Right, I'm givin' it up [Verse 2] I thank God that I'm still alive And back on deck for the nine five And y'all can't say, I ain't got a sense of humor For every new day it's another new rumor So numero uno, here's the first segment I ain't the one who got Yo-Yo pregnant And then I heard Craig went with a white girl Never that, a brother like me might earl But what's the world comin' to? Real men don't gossip, that's what a woman do But some of you get it twisted You must be broke-wristed, so I dismissed it Kept mobbin' and didn't react Then now the word in the street is (You know KAM got jacked) Huh, is that a fact? Well, who got the goods? 'Cause last I heard I was from four different hoods Now what I look like g**nin'? I got words for all y'all birds singin' Off-key, softly, y'all k**in' me That's why trues just chill and be givin' it up [Hook] [Verse 3] So last but not least, let me kick the real 'Cause Watts Up n***as be quick to peel Hittin' three-wheel motion, devotion is true FOI 'til I die, so what y'all wanna do? Comin' through just like a new verse While n***as goin' to Hollywood tryin' to claim a turf For what it's worth, I just wish 'em will 'Cause b**hmade n***as like to kiss and tell So I call n***as 'sir' and females 'madam' And all you will ever hear me say is (I ain't mad at 'em) Glad I'm livin' like a true 'Cause it ain't about what you're sayin' on a record It's what you do And n***as be in violation Y'all flirtin' with d**h with you diss the Nation Ain't no love lost if you cross the line You flossed, now that a** is mine I'm givin' it up [Hook: w/ minor variations]
