[Intro]

I got a question fo' you hatin ass niggas out there (Ay, ay)

Why you mad at me? Ay

Oh lame ass nigga (Why you mad at me?)

Sucka ass nigga (Why you mad at me?)

[Verse 1]

Remember late nights earn stripes serving straight white

Talk shit slapbox clear into the day light

Might fuss may fight but stay tight

Keep what the J need 'fore the lighter hit the base pipe

If the trap was the ocean or the sea

You could consider me and them the killa whales and great whites

Before a nigga tried to click it make them think twice

Cause they knew Cap would kill a nigga 'fore you blink twice

They right. I'm reciting my life

Nigga I was there no matter what: through sirens, on a silent night

Cold Sundays, slow Mondays, hot Friday nights

Tuesday, Thursdays, serving whether or not they ride tonight

On peaceful days, hostile evenings, even violent nights

Chip on my shoulder, hold a grudge -- cause you can die tonight

I swear you niggas have no idea what my life was like

Before the bright lights and a half a mil just to grab the mic

[Hook]

Is it cause I came from the bottom to the top?(Why you mad at me?)

Maybe cause I Spent a hundred on a drop? (Why you mad at me?)

Is it cause I kept it pimping and stayed down? (Why you mad at me?)

Or is it cause I am the A-Town? (That's why you mad at me?)

Is cause you a lame and I'm a G? (Why you mad at me?)

Is it cause I got love in the streets? (Why you mad at me?)

Is cause you know your time running out? (That's why you mad at me?)

Is it cause you know I'm King of the South? (That's why you mad at me!)

[Verse 2]

Niggas mad cause I got it like this

Gold on my wrist hoes on my dick, my dick

But I could give a fuck about this industry

I'm a be the same Tip til the end of me

That's something you know automatically if you a friend of me

You question that or think other wise now you've offended me

I came in this game not looking for a friend or enemy

Found them both now that niggas in to me

Got little rap niggas likening to me

Major labels and police want to censor me

Feds on my ass cause I'm in the streets

Think I still slang, listen to lame niggas who lie to snitch on me

It ain't my fault that you can't picture me

Riding in a Phantom. Man I swear I never fathomed

All the fame that a nigga can gain from Atlanta

Now I'm just trying to maintain for Atlanta

Before niggas was saying Atlanta

I was Grove Park, Doug High -- I stayed in Atlanta

Now true enough I sold yay in Atlanta

But what is that compared to contributions I made to Atlanta?

[Hook]

Is it cause I came from the bottom to the top?(Why you mad at me?)

Maybe cause I Spent a hundred on a drop? (Why you mad at me?)

Is it cause I kept it pimping and stayed down? (Why you mad at me?)

Or is it cause I am the A-Town? (That's why you mad at me?)

Is cause you a lame and I'm a G? (Why you mad at me?)

Is it cause I got love in the streets? (Why you mad at me?)

Is cause you know your time running out? (That's why you mad at me?)

Is it cause you know I'm King of the South? (That's why you mad at me!)

[Verse 3]

Ay pick a reason any reason all excuses'll do

But man you lucky I ain't bucking like I used to do fools

While you was throwing one's and two's

I was lifting up tools and then

Shoot at his shoes just to see if he move

Or either bust at his head to check if he dead man

Don't talk around him cause I heard he the fed's man

They offer him time and they knowing he scared and tell him

"Give me they names or you doing the stretch man

Or wear a wire go record what he said."

And then you can tell his lawyer that his clients a dead man

A rat I'm smelling. Blow? I ain't selling

Where you got that impression? Ain't no telling

Yes I'm a felon, why was that in question?

What about all these records I'm selling?

I'm Bankhead born and Bankhead bred

And when a nigga die I'm gone be Bankhead dead

[Hook]

Is cause you a lame and I'm a G? (Why you mad at me?)

Is it cause I got love in the streets? (Why you mad at me?)

Is cause you know your time running out? (That's why you mad at me?)

Is it cause you know I'm King of the South? (That's why you mad at me!)
