Now if you don’t know why this track sounds so damn familiar…kill yo’ self now. no realy…jump out the nearest window right this second…or choose life and get your knowledge up below….i cant afford to lose a fan…not just yet anyway
And this one here’s the remix i got that dope beat off of…Statik Selektah is the mantis.
I’ve gotta be all the way real. I was never much of an NWA fan (so maybe i should be jumping out a window myself…hmmm)…in fact I’ve never been a big fan of the Westcoast in general when it came to rap….yep not even Pac. Like don’t get me wrong I respect his passion and straight up hip-hop poetry…but he just wasn’t for me…and i copped a lotta shit all my hip-hop years for that…but I stand by it…he just wasn’t talking to me.
I digress though….so the first time I heard this track though, I dug it immediately…just for the beat…its just such a groove and I can’t deny a groove.
Then when Statik Selektah reproduced that beat and Termanology got at it like last year….I was sold. So yeah I got the instrumental and got at it….And naturally I had to keep tradition alive and start with that classic line…
I’M EXPRESSING WITH MY FULL CAPABILITY
SPENT THE PENNIES THEY PAID ME FOR PACKING PALLETS REPEATEDLY
PURCHASING PRETTY PROPERTY JUST TO PUNISH MY POVERTY
(WHAT ?)…KIDDING COS REALLY THAT SHIT CAN WAIT FOR THE LOTTERY
GOT A WAD IN MY WALLET SO LOTSA WEIGHT ON MY WASTE
HOW TO BURN IT AWAY I’M ALREADY PLOTTING ITS FATE
I COULD BE THE BIGGEST LOSER BUT WIN THE LOVE OF THE PARTY
IF I FIND A PLACE TO TURN ALL MY MONEY INTO BACARDI
OR MAYBE ANY AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR BOTTLES OF HENNY
COS THAT’D MURDER MY MISSION AS SOON AS I GET IT IN ME
AND I AINT TRYNA BE LETTING THAT DEMON DAMAGE MY PEDIGREE
THOUGH THIS BOTTLE OF BUNDY SURE GOT MY HEAD IN A SPIN AGAIN
(STOP ME)……PLEASE ITS GETTING LATER THAN LETTERMAN
LADY GRAVITY’S ALREADY GOT ME UP IN THE FRIDGE AGAIN
CHILLING SITTING UP IN IT JUST WISHING I WASN’T PISSIN AND
IF I DIDNT ADMIT IT THEN TELL ME WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO….
Now I gotta let y’all in on a secret. The second verse i spat on this track I wrote like a good year b4 to Fabolous’s “Breathe”….if you’ve got the DIRTY MOB mixtape….WE GOT NEXT….you can hear it in all its “thugged out” glory. I’m not gonna put it up here cos’ I think its time I retired that verse….at least for now…you never know…that shit may just come back like Jordan wearing the ’45…I HAVE NO QUALMS w/ staging a comeback on ur asses. LOL.
Things is when it came time to do the mixtape, the verse just fit the whole theme of the track for me….and if the shoe fits…
So yea.
Enjoy.
