Various Artists - Nickel Slick n***a (Video Edit) lyrics

[Verse 1] The setting It's a cool breeze day Word takes place in the city of L.A I'm 9 years old to be exact Checkered bell bottoms, brown shirt With a dusty ol' cap Goin to the ABC market Had to get some new biscuits 2 dollars what a bargain Preceding up the street While I'm hummin' a tune The first time I witness Somebody's tryin' a jack move If I'm correct it was a El Co' Tryin' ta jack a '6-4 Brothers tryin ta tip-toe and yo Pointin at gauges Tryin' ta take a brother's ya' He saw what was up Got out the vehicle and bailed He just had to run in my direction But they smoked the players Now he's next to the sports section But the player dropped the ya' on the ground So then I picked it up Ran down and around The corner, yo And through a nearby alley Escaped through a tiny gate Cause I was nickel slick [x4] [Verse 2] Huffin and puffin But I finally got to the pad My mother asked where I was I said "Yo, I was over Snowy's house Playin some marbles" She believed what I said So I went to my cars You see I shared rooms with my cousin That was mentally slow But he was a big old kid 6"5', 300 pounds or more Nicknamed 'Big Truck' Took the sack out my pants Unravelled the product Told my cousin we gotta hustle and bustle To make money back I make connections You watch my back Set up a program Called the lemonade stand But I wasn't sellin drinks I was sellin big bands And bundles and boulders of dubs, yeah At this time I was gettin more pub, yo From this cluck and that cluck And everybody wanna cluck cluck But me and Truck We was in luck But the spot got hot, police raid They took Truck to jail But me I got away, I was nickel slick Cause I was nickel slick I was nickel slick Cause I was nickel slick [Verse 3] 4 years past, now I'm 13 Bought me a duster To go undercover My cousin's jail sentence was almost finished Now we back in the streets in a mix In it to win it Pulling cards, checkin fools Checkin names down Now my status was ballin' Was set to the ground Other hustlers knew I was doin my best Cause I was a baller young fly player from the west Bought a pimped up crib in Pomona Not far from the city So that way I can hit corners Now who would expect This little juvenile delinquent's Straight ballin y'all As they kept on falling for it It was a smooth operation you see Cause I had the luck your whole entire family would love me 5 years swoop now I'm 18 I was steadily pimpin Uncle Sam Involved in the pimp game At this time I was bustin' funky rhymes Hook myself up with 87' Now am gettin mine Lay Law was in effect and he said "Let's do this" Gave it up to E Then I signed with ruthless But Truck was left on the spot Hmm, what I'd do Hooked my cousin up with the crib and effect, not! Now Truck was livin high, livin schwell Me, I'm gettin paid for my mega record sales So there it is, a player comin up quick I guess I joined a whole organisation Of players that are nickel slick I guess I was nickel slick Cause I was nickel slick I was nickel slick [Outro] Yo Stan, won't cha play something nickel slick from me Right here Yeah, aha Why don't cha swing it up right here? Aah yeah, wooh Now get sanctified, aah I here ya Yo, I was a player that was nickel slick
