[E-40] UHH~! Where I stay they gotta temper they locks Get they hair done down at Nappy or Not (BAY AREA!)

I got a cold conversation Could talk a cop out a ticket in front of the police station My niggaz KNOW I'm a patient When you're funkin or beefin all it takes is a little patience (UHHH) Gotta be slick and sly I ain't gon' kill nuttin, and I ain't gon' let nuttin die Looted up, suited up, rap for fun Wanna hear this black right here? Nigga say, this my one [Chorus] Droop-E made the black, Sic'Wid'It hog Who that rappin on the track? 40-Wat' and $hort Dawg (At the bank they call us Earl and Todd) (We up all night, hustlin hard) UHHH {can't stop won't stop} this my one {We gotta get it how we get it} this my one {Like the beat hear knocks} this my one {Got 'em all in the clubs yellin} this my one [Too $hort] Things can't stay the same Somebody gotta break the chain Put some big money back in the game We havin big money and we at it a-gain But can you handle it mayne Or would rather be grimy doin scandalous thangs? You wanna ball, you can't tell him he ain't Cause if the music don't pay he gon' sell 'em the 'caine All the crack babies are growin up now They got ADD, throw it up and act wild Extra hyper, she asked me if I like her Slow down girl, you move faster than a Viper You're too freaky, you're way too sleazy You could make some money but you give it up easy Can't even get a coke dealer You a broke bitch fuckin with a broke nigga! [Chorus] [E-40] UHHH... I play my position So much throb in the trunk got the CD player skippin (CD player skippin) I'm smokin and sippin Hood life, speed bumps in the residential district UHHHHH~! Pimpin this the anthem Got the Chrysler lips, lookin like a phantom Like a PHANTOM! I burn rubber on a hater If it ain't about yaper I'm hit the 'ccelerator [Too $hort] Me and E-40, we rap for money On funky-ass tracks with slappin drumbeats Pay me up front cause I'm not a dummy Promoters like bitches when I'm hot they want me ... And that's all the time I stay on tour, knockin all the dimes I can't name 'em, the list is long But when they hear that bass shit they say "This my one!" [Chorus 2X]
