Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hmm, you tryna get some hood fame, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna slang in the rain, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna save for the Range, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna perfect your aim, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna get a big chain, ain't cha?
Hmm, with the medallions and the rings, ain't cha?
Hmm, gon' getcha Air Force plane, ain't cha?
Say what? So you can get that hood fame, ain't cha?
[Verse 2]
Through despair I traipse, bakin' pies, bakin' cake
Hustlin' them E's and that C's and that H
While you probably talkin' frantic on the tape
**** in the hood ain't tryna hear, "Man it was a mistake"
They'll call you a bitch, not a bandit at ya wake
Epitaph readin' how much damage you could take
While I'm on the boat with ya bitch, salmon on the plate
I know why you liked her, the head, it was great
Lovin' these bezels set chains with no space
86 karats, you know how much diggin' in the planet this could take?
Patent leather Bapes (Uh, uh!)
Closet like planet of the Bape!
Monkey see, monkey do, monkeys followin' in place
Like I'm livin' in an episode of "Planet of the Apes"
You're watchin' the evolution of one of rap's greats
You **** tryna take my place? Never happen
[Verse 3]
Hmm, you tryna get some hood fame, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna slang in the rain, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna save for the Range, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna perfect your aim, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna get a big chain, ain't cha?
Hmm, with the medallions and the rings, ain't cha?
Hmm, gon' getcha Air Force plane, ain't cha?
Say what? So you can get that hood fame, ain't cha?
[Verse 4]
Dig it, every time I do it, encore
Slide out the Lincoln with the suicide doors
Ma, and I'm blingin' like Baby with all that shit on
My block pop till all that shit gone
What? You pussies hardly eat
What you spend on a home is a gaudy piece
On the chest of a biz-oss, it's a must I fliz-oss
My dream team wrestle for cheese like Eric Bischoff
From the kickoff to tip off
I give off rays from the VVs, ice glazed like lip gloss
Thinkin' they can see me, I beg to diff-arr
Look up in the skiz-eye, it the Big Dip-arr
(That's cold!) It's chilly in Philly, it's that real
Nobody know karate, more bodies than "Kill Bill"
Somebody get beside me, Lord, will his blood spill
Like a waterfall, fuck around, make me slaughter y'all
[Verse 5]
Hmm, you tryna get some hood fame, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna slang in the rain, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna save for the Range, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna perfect your aim, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna get a big chain, ain't cha?
Hmm, with the medallions and the rings, ain't cha?
Hmm, gon' getcha Air Force plane, ain't cha?
Say what? So you can get that hood fame, ain't cha?
[Verse 6]
Oh, you just gon' take without askin', ain't cha?
You just grabbin', you ain't earnin' for shit, that's too old-fashion
Look, tulip, I will never tuck a jewel up
Kindergarten, did they not tap your knuckle with the ruler?
I'm the era of the Juice Crew, don't let that dookie noose you
One and one is two, it's just as simple as Blue's Clues
The nine will get most of you, turn yourself around
For he who want to run up and earn himself a crown
Meanwhile, study somethin' ****, this Gucci, Parker
From France where the kids sing Frere Jacques
If not there, I'm somewhere mixin' vodkas
In a far off land, where they shake maracas and shit
Keep it movin' like them keys of coke
You the hunted motherfucker and I'm Benicio
Not Tommy Lee, see we never involve the law
If it seems the walls are closin' in, it's only 'cause they are, motherfucker
[Verse 7]
Hmm, you tryna get some hood fame, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna slang in the rain, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna save for the Range, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna perfect your aim, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna get a big chain, ain't cha?
Hmm, with the medallions and the rings, ain't cha?
Hmm, gon' getcha Air Force plane, ain't cha?
Say what? So you can get that hood fame, ain't cha?
[Verse 8]
I'm a natural born hustler, I, the risk taker
I get it cross the border, the Alpha, the Omega
My life, I scripted the paper, posh like the wrist in the cradle
That hug the diamonds that kiss for you haters
Grimaldi, is so gaudy
But it's just so picture-perfect as I lean in that six-forty-
Five C.I., I'm on them blades like T.I
Them **** hate to measure 'cause they knee high
Still slingn' that P-I, E what I bring by
Me 50 cal, pretty desert up my sleeve, I
Still huggin' that corner so tight it can't breathe, I
Never let it go 'cause a **** gotta eat, I
Came to conquer the game, the flame and the powder
And the pot, stirred it crazy, hustle I'm a lead-a
Still in the game, tippin' the scale like Libra
You don't really want that halo over your Caesar, no
[Verse 9]
Hmm, you tryna get some hood fame, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna slang in the rain, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna save for the Range, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna perfect your aim, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna get a big chain, ain't cha?
Hmm, with the medallions and the rings, ain't cha?
Hmm, gon' getcha Air Force plane, ain't cha?
Say what? So you can get that hood fame, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna get some hood fame, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna slang in the rain, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna save for the Range, ain't cha?
Hmm, you tryna perfect your aim, ain't cha?
