All I know is hustle All I know is Bubba All I know is struggle All I know is trouble All I know is smuggle All I know is double Ain't nobody business but the town All of the scales, it's digital underground (Step up, step, step, step up, step up) So you know I get around But I be right back like the cracks in the foundation That's why we like what's cracking and what's shaking Bay slang birthed from the earthquakin' And we bend never break, fast everyday Hungry tummy always coming for the biggest plate And the shift right left like the wipers on the scraper Though the rain gon' come why you hiding under paper No seeds, rolling tree with a looseleaf garden Call a spade a nigga but these niggas They ain't sharp enough to break dirt Better know I've been about the soil Cali been about the gold like Texas been about the oil So slick when I slide through Chick wanna ride too Clique bonafide, homicide like the nine do Mind been on "I do" Married to the hustle on fire like Piru, no blood Muscle on wide I'm middle of the block like "what?" Same white tee, still don't give a fuck Same white teeth, same smile, still suck Same white people sitting with the game, fucked up Set my day one spitting with the flame untucked This the bay, son you missin' what we saying, dumb luck Yo, uh What you thought it was a game? Dominoes and bones when it's money on the way Break a couple for you when you run into the gang Don't be acting brand new if you really wanna play Bitch welcome to the Bay I don't got too many friends now Many robbed me of my intiution so I exed 'em I don't listen if the pimpin' isn't part of how you flex 'em Got me feelin' extra, bless up 3-deep the car
