[Intro]

Haha, yo, who this motherfucker, man?

Who this motherfucker Millkbone nigga I've been hearin' about?

Yeah, that's what I'm sayin', man

I don't know, man, some white motherfucker, man

That motherfucker ain't even paid his dues, you heard? (Nigga look like—)

Nigga like a stick up paperboy and shit (Man, fuck that nigga)

I should smack that headband off his motherfuckin' head and shit

Motherfuck him (Word is born)


[Verse 1]

I'm the motherfuckin' man who makes it simple

If you're rich, rob your bitch, now they call her Mrs. Wendell

So am I for you to care? Love polluted air

And I'm so generous, I'll let your girl floss with my pubic hair

I take on loose punks on givin' good goosebumps

Like Janet Jackson's lips made 2Pac's jewels jump (Ha)

I'll leave your mother shoutin' when I buck a couple thousand

Turn a ranch in Dallas, Texas to fuckin' public housin'

Just call me Poppa, I'm off my rappin' rocker

Here's the deal: I'm the real honky hip-hop, a corner clocker (Huh)

I'm not the white type to get caught, havin' lots to talk

I got so much swing, I gotta battle with boxin' shorts

So flip a quarter, skip the border, fix your daughter

I'm the cookie corner crook more pure than mystic water (Yeah)

My royal rank's slicker than a oil tank when battlin'

Jam my man and Miilkbone wipe with no comparisons


[Chorus]

It ain't the same (Nah), we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came


[Verse 2]

24/7, I roll with clout, the one your mama told you 'bout

Curse in church, tell the priest, "Yo, I'm out," with the Holy shout (Ha)

'Cause you'll be like me with luck, well kinda, shorty

You'll be lucky if you jump off a boat and find the water

You bests be thankful that you're breathin', act like a tree and start leavin'

Rappin' smart so you're as bright as shadow season (Ahaha)

Raised with nasty nose pickers, now itchy triggers and it grows quicker

They cut my pubic veins with pro clippers

Delaney thugs could scare up flies

You couldn't get your weight up if you threw a scale in the sky

So alright, now get high, then I die, baby, by 5

Spark a L on crack ave then show the way my crew and I fly (Ha)

I walk Delaney dirt roads with my backpacks

I rock 'em on phat tracks, the stockin', that's crap's cap

So can MCs feel my breeze when I'm breathin'?

Hell, I ring Regina's bell so get the fuck out, believe the L (Haha)

So we could make the blunt tunes, my dirty fronts grooms

I pack more crowds than Ethiopian lunch rooms

Lightskin I'm fightin' from Amboy to Harrison

Chamberlain to Marrison, there's ain't no comparison


[Chorus]

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came


[Verse 3]

Bring it on (Yeah), you're gone, to all you fuckin' fag asses tryna battle me

That'll be tragedy, steppin' to me with no battery

Braincells, I train hell, I put crews in same graves

My name gave definition, deep defic' inside my brainwaves

I sportin' mics in my book bag, I look mad

Walk the line of good and bad with evil hankies as my hood rag

Because I had it up to here, damn near there

You thinkin' I'm scared, you couldn't jump me on leap year (Yeah)

I clarify the men from the boys separation

Illmatic with the mind, body bags keep wastin'

So what would you call messin' with the hoods on the West Coast and East Coast?

Ridin' on the blank without a seaboat (Uh)

I pop clips and hip hop to hop hip

Put an ice cube in your bootyhole for thinkin' you're hot shit

I swingin' right in a lefty, I'm trashy, it's hefty

And deadly, can't forget me once you met me

I live the lies of crime, for sleepy guys in line

And tell 'em, "Rise and shine," because the prize is mine

MCs of my kind, embarrassin' when battlin'

Straight from crazy crack ave, but ain't no comparisons


[Chorus]

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came


[Verse 3]

Bring it on (Yeah), you're gone, to all you fuckin' fag asses tryna battle me

That'll be tragedy, steppin' to me with no battery

Braincells, I train hell, I put crews in same graves

My name gave definition, deep defic' inside my brainwaves

Walk the line of good and bad with evil hankies as my hood rag

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came

It ain't the same, we never could cruise, I run through

On your block I sign my name, baby, so glad you came


[Outro]

Ain't shit the same

It ain't the same

Ahh, shit gon' change, haha

Shit gon' change, baby

Haha, yeah

I'm out
