[Verse 1]

Uh, right off the cuff

Blow your head off shoulders, nothin but dust

Got some big boy, toys, them toys is us

We pop shots, y'all niggas'll just fuss

Now e'rybody talkin 'bout they run New York

I grew up the street, don't see 'em up in New York

I ride in Bentleys, Lamborghin's in New York

Nigga know how we do it in the streets of New York

I, make make that guacamole

Y'all niggas comin up but y'all movin' slowly

Praise the Lord like you owe He

Cause He is makin possible for me

To see the light, to see all good things, comin

In forth and behind what we have

Leavin when the smoke and behind in my half

Damn, my pinky ring keep blindin' yo' ass

[Chorus]

Why you talkin to me, likе I don't know what's goin on?

I been in the hood on fire, and you know it's always on

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, what say what

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, ay (man)

Are you lookin' at mе, like I don't know what's goin on?

I'm from the ghetto, nigga, that where I was born

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, say what say what

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh

[Verse 2]

A genie told me - give me a call to alter your fortune

Spin your head 'round like your Wheel of Fortune

Goddamn, the ghetto hot, the ghetto scorchin

Them goons'll take everything you pride and bought and

Come on kick your door in, ATF

Move, they takin' everything that's left

Oh-oh! Say what, oh-oh! They comin' through

Oh-oh! Get out, oh-oh! They catchin' who?

Not me! I'm goin' out the fire escape, climbin' down

I almost bust my ass gettin' to the ground

Fuck it! I kept a little back of my stash

I kept a little bundle in the crack of my ass

Don't tell nobody, because we gettin' it goin'

Y'all niggas know how we do but they ain't really knowin'

And they ain't really showin', the truth is goin' down

Muh'fuck me in the hood, so you know it's goin' down

[Chorus]

Why you talkin to me, like I don't know what's goin on?

I been in the hood on fire, and you know it's always on

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, what say what

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, ay (man)

Are you lookin' at me, like I don't know what's goin on?

I'm from the ghetto, nigga, that where I was born

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, say what say what

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

You should just - believe in yo'self

If you don't, nobody else will

So just - redeem yo'self

Don't worry about (redeem yourself) the cars and wealth, homie

Cause God put us, on this green green Earth

And what we do? Turn that thing into gang turf

We can make it better but we make things worse

You could be in the Benz or in the black hearse

But whatever, however, you get my drift

Gotta, go to the block, just smoke this spliff

I was droppin' the jewel, you know, givin' you a gift

Make your soul better, make your mind uplift

I am, gon' continue to marinate

In a sea of whirl and changin' the world

This music thing I call my girl

Better yet my wife 'cause it changed my life

[Chorus]

Why you talkin to me, like I don't know what's goin on?

I been in the hood on fire, and you know it's always on

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, what say what

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, ay (man)

Are you lookin' at me, like I don't know what's goin on?

I'm from the ghetto, nigga, that where I was born

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh, say what say what

Oh-oh, say what, oh-oh
