[Intro]
I wanna dedicate this one to Robert "Yummy" Sandifer
And all other lil' young niggas that's in a rush to be gangstas
[Verse 1]
As a young nigga, I'm almost runnin' in the wind
Give anything, to be that innocent again, when I was ten
I didn't bang, but I was hangin' with the homies
'Til them niggas started slangin', now they don't know me
I got my hustle on, learned to ignore what couldn't pay me
Lately, I've been tryin' to make a million, can you blame me?
With that jealousy, they need to miss me, don't sweat me
If them cowards really want me, come get me, and even I
Someday will die, but I'm cautious, I'm fin' to ride
Put down the top, now we flossin'
Hit the freeway, let the wind blow, drop the window
Workin' with a twenty sack of indo, feelin' good
Stop through the hood, grab the young thugs
And I can't help but reminisce back when we slung drugs, though it's bad
But all we had was our hopes and dreams
Couldn't see unless we learned to slang dope to fiends
As young niggas
[Chorus: Moe Z MD & 2Pac]
He's the kind of G like everybody knows
(As a young nigga)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(My memories as a young nigga)
Always got it blown like Al Capone
(Strung nigga)
He's the downest G I've ever known
[Verse 2]
Back in Junior High, when we was barely gettin' by, when Daddy died
That's when my momma started gettin' high
My neighborhood was full of drive-bys, couldn't survive
All our homies livin' short lives, I couldn't cry
Told my momma, if I did die, just put a blunt in my casket
Let me get my dead homies high
Come follow me throughout my history
It's just Me Against the World stuck in misery; as a young nigga
My only thing was to be paid
Life full of riches, avoid snitches 'cause they shady, back in the days
We always found the time to play
But that's before they taught them gangbangers how to spray
Not just L.A., but in the Bay and in Chicago and even St. Louis
Every stadium that I go, when will they change?
Stuck in the game like a dumb nigga
Remember how it was to be a young nigga
[Chorus: Moe Z MD & 2Pac]
He's the kind of G that everybody knows
(As a young nigga)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(My memories as a young nigga)
Always got it blown like Al Capone
(Strung nigga)
He's the downest G I've ever known
[Bridge]
I'm tellin' you, to be young
Have your brains and have every limb and all that
Yo, y'all niggas don't know how good you really do got it
Muh'fuckers need to just calm down
And peep what the fuck they wanna do for the rest of the life
'Fore you end your life before you begin your life
You dumb nigga
[Verse 3]
Now that I'm grown, I got my mind on bein' somethin'
Don't wanna be another statistic, out here doin' nuttin
Tryin' to maintain in this dirty game, keep it real
And I will even if it kills me, my young niggas
Break away from these dumb niggas
Put down the guns and have some fun, nigga, the rest'll come, figure
Fame is a fast thang, that gangbangin'
Puttin' niggas in a casket, murdered for hangin'
At the wrong place at the wrong time, no longer livin'
'Cause he threw up the wrong sign, and every day
I watch the murder rate increases, and even worse
The epidemic and diseases, what is the future?
The projects lookin' hopeless, where
More and more brothers givin' up and don't care
Sometimes, I hate when brothers act up, I hit the weed
And I proceed to blow the track up, for young niggas
[Chorus: Moe Z MD & 2Pac]
He's the kind of G like everybody knows
(For the strung niggas)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(My memories as a young nigga)
Always got it blown like Al Capone
(This for nigga, this for the young niggas)
He's the downest G I've ever known
(As a young nigga)
He's the kind of G like everybody knows
(Strung nigga)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(Memories as a young nigga)
He always got it blown like Al Capone
(Strung nigga)
He's the downest G I've ever known
[Outro: 2Pac & Moe Z MD]
This go out to the young thugs, the have-nots (You know)
Little bad motherfuckers from the block (That's right)
Them niggas that's thirteen and fourteen
Drivin' Cadillacs, Benzes and shit (I see you, boy)
Young motherfuckin' hustlers (Make that money, boy)
Stay strong, nigga
You could be a fuckin' accountant, not a dope dealer (Young nigga)
You know what I'm sayin'? (Go to school nigga, go to school)
Fuck around and, you pimpin' out here
You could be a lawyer (Really doe) (Young nigga)
Niggas gotta get they priorities straight
(Don't see Johnny Cochran out in this motherfucker) (Young nigga)
Really doe... Young Niggas... little RahRah (Young nigga) (Young nigga)
Especially my little cousins, don't be no dumb guy
(Don't be a dumb nigga, listen, young niggas) (Young nigga)
Always hating (Young nigga)
Like— like— like Al Capone (Young nigga)
Always got his girl home (Young nigga)
Downest G I've ever known (Young nigga)
The downest G I've ever known (Young nigga)
The downest G I've ever known (Young nigga)
Ohh, he's the youngest groover alive (Young nigga)
Ohh-rocka-bo (Young nigga)
The downest G I've ever known (Downest G)
