Not a Game

All I know is hustle

All I know is Bubba

All I know is struggle

All I know is trouble

All I know is smuggle (Yeah)

All I know is double

Ain't nobody business but the town

All of the scales, it's digital underground

(Step up, step, step up, step up)

So you know I get around

But, I be right back like the cracks in the foundation

That's why we like what's crackin' and what's shakin' (What's shakin')

Bay slang birthed from the earthquakin'

And we bend, never break, fast everyday

Hungry tummy always for the biggest plate

And the shift right left like the wipers on the scraper

Though the rain' gon' come, why you hidin' under paper?

No seeds, rollin' trees with a looseleaf garden

Call a spade a ****, but this **** stayin' sharp enough

To break dirt, better know I've been about the soil

Cali been about the gold like Texas been about the oil

So slick when I slide through

Chick wanna ride too

Clique bonafide, homicide like the nine do

Mind been on I do

Married to the hustle, on fire like Pyro, no blood

Muscle on wide, I'm middle of the block like, what

Same white tee, still don't five a fuck

Same white teeth, same smile, still suck

Same white people sittin' with the game, fucked up

Set my day one's spittin' with the flame untucked

This the Bay, son you missin' what we sayin', dumb luck

Yo, uh

What you thought it was a game?

Dominoes and bones when it's money on the way

Break a couple for you when you run into the gang

Don't be actin' brand new if you really wanna play

Bitch, welcome to the Bay

I don't got too many friends, huh

Many rob me of my intuition so I axe 'em

Playin my position, I got 20/20 vision

I don't listen if the pimpin' isn't part of how you flex

Got me feelin' extra, bless up

Three deep the car

Mobbin' about the monty

What I'm droppin is C-P-R

To push down on a couple of bodies

Who be claim to be speakin' hard

Ain't I see you wasn't around

Till I freed up a couple yards

Oh, you thought that was easy (Come on)

A lot of fakers caught the tape and then repeat me

I was in the scraper, pullin' favors for the capers

Puttin' cash on commissary for mother fuckers

Caught up in the danger at the precinct

Me think's we should body this, new flock of too cocky

Bourgeoisie, bitch lookin' hipster kids, passin' as rap shit

They seem far too popular, put in a couple shots

In their monikers, thinkin' they Gods

When they not even common carpenter's

Hollerin' hollow is top-notch telemarketers

Who got some top, not you talkin' tight as a tightrope

But, in in a crap game, he don't know how to dice though

What you thought it was a game? (Game)

Dominoes and bones when it's money on the way

Break a couple for you when you run into the gang

Don't be actin' brand new if you really wanna play

Bitch, welcome to the Bay

(Hold that write that down, one time, let me see)

All I know is hustle

All I know is Bubba

All I know is struggle

(Break that shit down, one time, let me see)

Break that shit down

All I know is trouble

All I know is smuggle

All I know is double

When I'm on first-class on the plane

People ask me what I do for a livin'

I tell them, "A little bit of this, little bit of that

Hustlin' and girittin', gettin' my money up

Pockets need a tummy tuck, my wallet

And my bank roll and my baller gut"

When I was young, I had a discussion with my street son

What did you talk about? Livin' and dyin'

What about your paper route?

Grittin' and grindin'

Clientele and klout, multiplyin'

Now I came in the game with a boomerang

Never sold pills, but I used to sell that there candy cane

Devils in heels, eleven five hundred, hair right

In the hood, once black folks

They're Caster oil cure everythin'

All kind of different trees, with all kind of different names

I use ocean soy on chicken shit to feed my strains

The hills out of Vallejo is the land I claim

I gave my brother Darnell some meal to buy a mustang

Back in 1985 when shit was live

We did what we had to do to survive

All the real one's gone in jail, or they done died

So it's up to me to teach them the ghetto game

Bitch
