Got— Got it on Smash
OG Parker, ayy
Pack dope, what it's hittin' for?
Been through hell and back, broke only place I didn't go
Niggas still hatin', tell me somethin' that I didn't know
Look, I get it, bro, I'm still gon' be that nigga, though
And I'm still poppin' big shit like I been before
Been through hell and back, broke only place I didn't go
Niggas still hatin', tell me somethin' that I didn't know
Look, I get it, bro, I'm still gon' be that nigga, though (ooh)
Been havin' bread, been havin' dough, been havin' cho
Been coulda pulled your broad a long time ago
Been bendin' corners, been movin' mean, AR-15s
Been stuffin' turkey bags with greens and playin' with triple beams
Been there, done it, been a factor, trapper 'fore a rapper
Been one hundred from day one, quick thinker, fast reactor
Been the best in the west, I must confess
Been havin' more gold than a broken-down, sunken ship treasure chest
Big head hundreds, Benjamin Franklin
We'll all be rich if you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
Let's put our money together, like Asians
Stop tryna compete with each other, stop the hatin'
When I'm in the writer's block and my pen is my enemy
I roll up some exotic to enhance my creativity (what you got?)
I got my heat under the seat, beneath me
In the studio with my mp5
Not no mp3 (ayy, not no mp3)
Pack dope, what it's hittin' for?
Been through hell and back, broke only place I didn't go
Niggas still hatin', tell me somethin' that I didn't know
Look, I get it, bro, I'm still gon' be that nigga, though
And I'm still poppin' big shit like I been before
Been through hell and back, broke only place I didn't go
Niggas still hatin', tell me somethin' that I didn't know
Look, I get it, bro, I'm still gon' be that nigga, though
I'm still gon' be him, though
Woofin' on the internet, but won't drop the pin, though
Shit is pitiful, I became a true menace, though
Roll bounce on my neck, it's a blizzard, though
I walked up in the Diamond district, told 'em gimme more
He survived the first shot, I'ma give him four
Why my name up in your mouth if money ain't involved?
Niggas swore up on their life I wouldn't beat them charges
I see all the hate, the jealousy and fakes
Snakes and jakes, I'll put 'em in they place
Mr. Mosely, I'm California's greatest
Scratch that, I'm California's most hated
Most innovative, blast at niggas that fake it
Want what I got, you gotta take it, I ain't playin'
Mr. Mosely, I'm California's greatest
A street nigga, but I'm just a little famous (ayy)
Pack dope, what it's hittin' for?
Been through hell and back, broke only place I didn't go
Niggas still hatin', tell me somethin' that I didn't know
Look, I get it, bro, I'm still gon' be that nigga, though
And I'm still poppin' big shit like I been before
Been through hell and back, broke only place I didn't go
Niggas still hatin', tell me somethin' that I didn't know
Look, I get it, bro, I'm still gon' be that nigga, though
