Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
[Verse 2]
I break shit up, so just chill and sit still
I'm not on the pop hot, yo, but my shit still
Sells like a mother, there's not another
Dark brown brother who grew up undercover
Running game on a dame like Too $hort
I'll smoke an emcee like a Newport
Or a Marlboro, or a Salem
It doesn't matter 'cause I take him and I wail him
Get a rush of the nicotine, battle
**** please, I won't even attempt
But if the crowd thinking he's a worthy opponent
I'll grab the mic and show I own it, yo, bust it
Better of if it's not sane, God bless the pothead
As I remember what my moms and my pops said
Strive for the best, you'll gain your respect
Or you can settle for a public assistance check
If you don't wanna break your neck
So I said, what the heck
People always say, hey we like the way you make beats
He doesn't use breakbeats
But I take it in stride and do my work on the inside
Won't flake on the flim side
[Verse 3]
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
[Verse 4]
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
My sound slams but some still want to get with me
I don't understand, kid, you just can't see me
When my LP drops, all my friends will want a freebie
Whether in a car or you ride the trains
My sound stands out like a varicose vein
So don't front 'cause you know I'm the champ
Better off trying to buy a pack of Newport's with a food stamp
'Cause the odds are none
'Cause like Jimmy Castor, I just begun
Brothers can't believe how the skills have gotten
Spicy as a steak with potatoes au gratin
But I'm not soup, I just got a lot of nerve
'Cause motherfuckers want to see me shoot to the curve
But I just won't slip 'cause a slip ain't hip
I stay on my toe like Broadway Joe
But one time I did, I thought a girl was a friend of me
So I started sleeping with the enemy
I won't let a stunt misguide me
And you can jump on my tree stump if you wanna ride me
[Verse 5]
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
[Verse 6]
Sell like hotcakes, lethal as prostate
Cancer of the liver, yo, 'cause I deliver
Legit new shit that hits like a mule kick
Don't try to flip, money grip, or you'll get
A very swift kick in the anus, yeah
Homeboy, I'll make you famous
As a young buck, people used to call me shorty
When I was broke, I used to chip in for forties
But there's no retreat or surrender
And my pockets stay stuffed with legal tender
So give a shout if you're with me (YEAH)
Give a shout if you're with me (YEAH)
So give a shout and let me know
If you like the way the flow goes
And, yo, doesn't matter on the FDR or the Westside
People contemplate what's the best side
But I sit back and observe like a Bhuddist monk
'Cause Diamond got spunk
For the new generation like Pepsi
I'll make your grandmother say, heavens to Betsy
[Verse 7]
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
Although I hit a pound of herbs, I'm still nice with the verbs
So fuck what you heard
