[Intro]

What is it?

Freebase

What's free about it? (Honorable C.N.O.T.E.)

I thought if I said, "Listen, should I talk about freebase and what is it?" or somethin'?

And people said, "Well, no, because then people will start doin' it"

No, let me— I gotta talk about what happened to me


[Bridge]

See, where we're from, it's all or nothing

And we take penitentiary chances like it's nothing

We came from nothing

Freebase on top of the oven

Get money my type of discussion

Y'all can do this shit for free, a nigga like me gon' be hustlin'

Freebase, freebase, freebase, freebase

Freebase, freebase, freebase, freebase (2 Chainz)

Freebase


[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]

I came from nothing

Me and my niggas, we came from nothing, sold that 'caine like it's nothing

Told you from the introduction, I came from the pain and suffering

Two pit bulls and a TEC-9, TEC-9 use to jam up on me all the time

Swear to god, if you come up in my mama yard, I'ma shoot that motherfucker 'til it get tired

Big dually truck got six tires, big ties when I rhyme mixtapes

And I keep shitting on the competition, I'm about to put out me a shit tape

Guess we ain't playin' by no rules, every night I freestyle on Pro Tools

Tell Flex come to the A, we'll carjack him by one of them regular-ass old schools

I don't respect my elders, these right here Maison Margiela

I cannot get no earrings, it'll make my Rolex jealous

I've been a felon since fifteen, my Expedition had a big screen

Half you niggas was constipated, half you niggas wasn't shit then

Zone one all the way to zone six, fuck y'all, I'll buy my own shit

Fuck y'all, I'll buy my own whip, fuck y'all, I'll buy my own brick

Tell them pussy niggas that ain't pay shit, "Better be ready to let the gat loose"

I done did a song with everybody from Jermaine Dupri down to Papoose


[Chorus]

I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt)

I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)

I came from nothing, I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt)

I came from nothing, I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)


[Verse 2]

Work hard, play hard, work hard again

My bankroll had twins, can you comprehend?

Seafood lover, I don't eat pork

Used to hit them J's like a three-point, my partner mascot is a pitchfork

And you already know what this for, me too, rent due

Doggin' these hoes like a shih tzu, so cold, I recorded in an igloo

Nigga asked me why I don't drink, man, let me tell you what the wine do

My partner came in and said, "This my girl," I had to tell that motherfucker, "Mine too"

Court dates in the summertime, might pull up in a 'vert

No matter what the charges is, I'ma pull off with a smirk

This right here for Old Nat, this right here for Godby Road

This right here for Riverdale, trappin' at the Stop-N-Go

Trappin' at the Texaco, it was Amaco before it was BP

My plug from Mexico, he fell out when he seen me on TV

Sold drugs to my loved ones and it's hard for me to admit it

The first time I've seen a crack pipe was in my parents' kitchen


[Refrain]

I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt)

I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)

I came from nothing, I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt)

I came from nothing, I came from nothing (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)
