[Intro: Mannie Fresh]

Turn it up

Turn it up

Turn it up


[Chorus]

Ten ways to a G

Three situations, pay attention to me

Ten ways to a G

Three situations, pay attention to me


[Verse 1: Mannie Fresh]

Yeah, yeah (Ten!), first, ya gotta go get the chips

Scope out the section, tell 'em, "Go get the bricks"

(Nine!) Then ya gotta find a place to meet

You better bring your heat 'cause them villains ain't sweet

(Eight!) Ya better let your chick drop to get 'em

And follow that broad to make sure them people not with 'em

(Seven!) Don't bring it nowhere around your house

'Cause you don't want that heat pepper nowhere round your house

(Six!) See how it come back before you start

And if it come short bring back everything you bought

(Five!) Wait, if lil' daddy on the street

Cut the cake, hit the hood the next day about eight

(Four!) And if you can't move it all, call your dog

Jam him up, and tell him "Fool, me and you about to ball"

(Three!) Split it up: four quarters a piece

And if y'all do that everyday, that's fifty six a week

(Two!) When the money start comin', keep sellin'

Don't buy nothin' special unless you got good credit

(One!) Make sure you put some money aside

And in a month call the man and tell him "Bring a extra five"


[Chorus]

Ten ways to a G

Two situations, pay attention to me

Ten ways to a G

Two situations, pay attention to me


[Verse 2: Mannie Fresh]

(Ten!) Gotta floss everyday of my life

Forget the price, get the ice, hit the club every night

(Nine!) Buy the ball, let 'em know you a star

When everybody come outside to see the dubs on your car

(Eight!) They gon' hate so keep that tool

Scratch off and holler out the window "Boy, I'm a fool!"

(Seven!) When ya meet, take a broad to plug

And make sure that chic was the baddest broad in the club

(Six!) Lay it down when you're comin' around

Bumpin' the sound, got the truck touchin' the ground

(Five!) 2000 Range Rover, you see

Leather, wood, television all over it, B

(Four!) Watch bracelet, woadie, shop daily

Everything them wannabe's got, I played it

(Three!) Two dice on the block, keep it real

Bet the house that's about two-point-five mill'

(Two!) Keep cheddar, what you got, I can match it

Ride everything chrome, rock everything platinum

(One!) Keep shinin' 'til it burn me out

But never ever let the money, baby, turn me out


[Chorus]

Ten ways to a G

One situation, pay attention to me

Ten ways to a G

One situation, pay attention to me


[Verse 3: Mannie Fresh]

(Ten!) Tell a broad "Everything for free

You can shop 'til you drop, shorty, all on me"

(Nine!) Number ten ain't nothin' but a lie

Don't buy the broad nothin', and I'm 'bout to tell you why

(Eight!) Sell the skank a dream bigger than life

And she gon' stick around for the shoppin' spree, alright

(Seven!) Tell your broad you know me, and we jam tight

And you like what I like, and you gon' be alright tonight

(Six!) Nine times outta ten I went out with the broad you with

But that shouldn't stop you from doin' what you do, slick

(Five!) Then turn to her, tell her you love her, and don't laugh

And if I had a penny, baby, then you got half

(Four!) What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yurn

And you got it right now and that'll leave a thousand dollars to my tax return

(Three!) At this point, if you love me, you'll make my fantasies come true

And if she say "What it is?" to sleep with your sister and you

(Two!) Don't love these dumb hoes, love yourself

And if you pay attention to this you'll have plenty of wealth

(One!) I'm done, and I ain't got nothin' else to say

'Cause I can't think of nothin' to rhyme with this shh… y'all have a nice day


[Outro: Mannie Fresh]

(Ten ways to a G) Good night, everybody

(Ten ways to a G) Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ten ways to a G) What? What? Now looky here

(Ten ways to a G) I gave you three situations and ten ways to deal with it

You see what I'm sayin'

If you apply that to your everyday-life

Whether you slingin', you dig

Ballin' ar playin' on broads

You, too, can be scraped

I said scraped, that's right, scraped

See what I'm sayin' and these dudes

I mean, we gotta get together, marry yourself, man

'Cause ain't nobody gon' care 'bout yourself but yourself

Know what I'm sayin'

Go marry yourself, go on a honeymoon, treat yourself

I mean, 'cause can't nobody cheat on theyself

You gon' be with yourself, but you can't cheat on yourself

You know what I'm sayin'

Man, that's ballerrific, stuntastic

And I like to say one more time: good night

Mmm-hmm

And tell myself "Self, I am so infatuated with you"

Hey, thank you

I'm infatuated with you, too

Good night, self

Good night

Good night, Mannie

I love you
