Y'all know who it is
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, harmony, harmony
They know I'm crazy by the flow
Nigga never lazy 'bout my dough
I'm in the flesh but I'm quest for mo'
Bizzy, wish and baby just pay me the money I'm owed
Ooh, yeah, back is that mighty real
Ooh, yeah, doin' it the way they never
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, ah, yeah
See, all I know was get out and get it
I stay on the grind all night 'til my feet go numb
Blowin' mo' weed than Cheech & Chong
Livin' by the motto, 'To each his own'
Got speed, its on, Flesh freed, he home
Then we'd go wrong, it wasn't in the plan
Designed by the Man upstairs
This testimony and we say, we can, we can
We can do it, gotta put ya mind to it
Put ya feet in the dirt, just push right through it
When shit get rough, you gotta stick to it
Play that Bone Thug music, it's that feel good music
Chill or act a fool with it
Real thug niggas with real life drama
Is just like watchin' a movie
Soundtrack of my life
Right how they bounce back more than twice
Alright, I admit we done did some crazy shit
But I stop, repent kept God in my sights
Recognize it was a fight
Either you're wrong or you're right
Let the song be the light
Eternally them Bone Thug soldiers
I'm Mighty Mo-Thuggin' fo' life
They know I'm crazy by the flow
Nigga never lazy 'bout my dough
I'm in the flesh but I'm quest for mo'
Bizzy, wish and baby just pay me the money I'm owed
Ooh, yeah, back is that mighty real
Ooh, yeah, doin' it the way they never
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, ah, yeah
Ooh, yeah
They back, finna hit y'all with that mighty real good, ooh
No doubt about it, you bound to feel it good
We still hood, even though we came up
Changed the whole game up
No matter how much they angry steady saying
We ain't the same, pointing the blame at us
The only thing is I'ma go get it even if I gotta split your wig
They can't get enough of my style
'Cause I got the job well done winning it
Big up's to all of my hustlers
While the globe spinnin', it ain't time to sleep
Break me off a piece of that paradise pie
'Til the day I die, I'ma represent my peeps
Hit up food from all of this
Somebody sneak they piece
Nothin' but heat for the streets
Now turn up that Bone beat
They tried to hold me but couldn't keep me down
'Cause Flesh got a whole world of my trues to be found
They know I'm crazy by the flow
Nigga never lazy 'bout my dough
I'm in the flesh but I'm quest for mo'
Bizzy, wish and baby just pay me the money I'm owed
Ooh, yeah, back is that mighty real
Ooh, yeah, doin' it the way they never
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, ah, yeah
You owe me money, man
If not I gotta get my respect
It's too many years of grindin'
Baby, mama want my royalty checks
It ain't about Twista
But nobody flippin' their tongue like Ripsta
No nigga done caused my earthquake like march
Remember that way little Capo got hurt when
My niggas is hurtin' daily
Good thing Wally see me and Krayzie
They would have just left them hailin'
And there were shots in the melee
It was never to protect myself
Little Layzie got 'em baby
And I pop, popped everyone else
Tanks swell over the double
Me problems tends again and never left
When I see the face of Zee
Bothers me, back n yo step
You never could feel my wepts
Would never have got dissed with Bone
Off to another dimension
You owe me but I'm on my own
Now come on
They know I'm crazy by the flow
Nigga never lazy 'bout my dough
I'm in the flesh but I'm quest for mo'
Bizzy, wish and baby just pay me the money I'm owed
Ooh, yeah, back is that mighty real
Ooh, yeah, doin' it the way they never
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, ah, yeah
Yeah, still chasin' that paper, dawg
And I won't slow down 'til I done made it all
They better give me what's mine
I'ma get it then go grind, get up in it one mo' time
Better ask about my rep
Better check yourself, self, self
They must've thought I was somebody else, body else
Yeah, everybody better little bit of Bone Thugs
Bet they'll never own us
We originated that there, sho' nuff
Better run and go get they flow heard
Came from Cleveland, Ohio the realest that I know
They'll never sound nothin' like Bone, clones
Them faders, the greatest and even the haters is singin'
Yeah, we make 'em zone
We make 'em sing, no matter what they say
Everybody, all know Bone changed the game
We made them sing like me, against the grain
If they don't wanna respect me and where I come from
I tell 'em they can run on up, come on over and get you some
They know I'm crazy by the flow
Nigga never lazy 'bout my dough
I'm in the flesh but I'm quest for mo'
Bizzy, wish and baby just pay me the money I'm owed
Ooh, yeah, back is that mighty real
Ooh, yeah, doin' it the way they never
Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, ah, yeah
