[Intro]

Uh, yeah

You are now tuned into The Green Tape

How this project came to be is kinda crazy, man

Me and G was sittin' in the studio bumpin' that Al Green

Lay it down

We came up with the idea, he wanted to flip the whole album front to back in order, you know?

And I sat there and watched him do it over the course of a few hours

It's like there was somethin' in the air

I had to be part of it, you know what I'm sayin'?

Look


[Verse]

Cats saying that I fell off, huh

I’ll just give you what I felt y’all need

You prolly won’t find me in no Ed Hardy

It’s white tees, plain jeans, LRG

And everywhere I go, you can smell my tree

So excuse me if I trail off please

Hit the sand lot, re-up a new batch of CDs

And leave the country like, "Bet you I could sell all these"

Give the man props, can't stop for real

Last shot, and John Hancock the bill

As far as rap, got this, padlock with skill

Outside of that, still got a cash crop to build

The lab is the crack spot, and I ain’t playing with ’em

It’s been monkey bars ever since the sand box

G’s beats lay the backdrop, we a combo hit

More like almost there’s than them have-not's

Man, watch


[Outro]

Lay it down

Just watch, listen

Lay it down

Ha, Green Tape

Aye G man, I don't think they seen this one comin'

Figured just give 'em somethin' to grow to, you know?

Haha
