Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was 8 I was rhyming
Not backyard game playing
Watching Snoop anxiously
And waiting for my chance man
Hot and cocky with it
'Cause I know that I am man
I'm going down in history
Like American Band stand
I stay fresh to death
Like the neighborhood dope man
I stay on the top
'Cause I keep coming wit dough man
You steady watching, stealing
But there ain't no hope man
You dealing with something
Bigger than the US Open
And ain't no joking
Fresh like fat laces and dukey ropes and
I keep on smokin'
Young but I'm ready so that means I'm strokin'
If you pet me now days girl a dawg is pokin'
Addicted to it
J.D. say I got it bad
18 **** makin' more that yo dad see
They think they doin' it but I'ma out do 'em
If you know somebody like that
Pull up and say to 'em
[Verse 2]
Ye ain't ridin' (Ye ain't ridin')
Ye ain't bumpin' like I'm bumpin'
Ye ain't sayin' nutin' homie
Ye ain't fresh as I'm is
Ye ain't got it (Ye ain't got it)
You don't keep it Doug E.
Like I keep it Doug E.
Lil' buddy ye ain't fresh as I'm is
[Verse 3]
Ye ain't big, big whippin'
Ye ain't steady tip tippin'
No girl gettin' homie
You ain't fresh as I'm is
Think ye is
But cha ain't
Think you get it crunk like me but you can't
[Verse 4]
Now e'ry record that I make
I'm tryna get up out the store mane
E'ry car I drive
I'm tryna have you sayin' who mane
Fourth album comeback
Power like Rogaine
Records say Columbia but I'm so-so mane
I stay on my grind
Raking in that dough mane
From records to movies now a TV show mane
Anything given to me I'm gon' rep mane
Big house, big cars what you expect mane
Just to get a glimpse girls
Breaking they neck mane
Blinded by the light
Glistening off the Breitling
Bow hot as ever I ain't lost no step
Straight t-shirts, sneakers I ain't tryin' go prep
Like these lil' RnB groups that need my help
Wish they had my style
Wish they had my rep
But oh no,
You'll never have it like me man
And if you can't understand
This is what I'm sayin'
[Verse 5]
Ye ain't ridin' (ye ain't ridin')
Ye ain't bumpin' like I'm bumpin'
Ye ain't sayin' nutin' homie
Ye ain't fresh as I'm is
Ye ain't got it (ye ain't got it)
You don't keep it Doug E.
Like I keep it Doug E.
Lil' buddy ye ain't fresh as I'm is
[Verse 6]
Ye ain't big, big whippin'
Ye ain't steady tip tippin'
No girl gettin' homie
You ain't fresh as I'm is
Think ye is
But cha ain't
Think you get it crunk like me but you can't
[Verse 7]
I got a spot in M-I-A
To get away from the cold weather
Talk around town as if I'm with Ciara
Bow fall off **** that'll be never
I'm rich, yeah I'm rich
I can do whatever
I get a kick
Outta shuttin' suckers down in the parking lot
Specially when they tryna stunt
Thinking they hot
All out the window talking loud
Like they runnin' my block
That's when I come through
Come through and all that stop
And ain't another younger keep it fresh like this man
E'ry year, same time, come with the hits man
Tired of makin' girl fall out with a kiss man
Well listen and you're stuck
Music just like quicksand
Older people say the lil' young dude sick man
Young A.I. and we crew thick man
Difference between me and you
Is you be bricklin'
And I ain't never ever done that before, no
[Verse 8]
Ye ain't ridin' (ye ain't ridin')
Ye ain't bumpin' like I'm bumpin'
Ye ain't sayin' nutin' homie
Ye ain't fresh as I'm is
Ye ain't got it (ye ain't got it)
You don't keep it Doug E.
Like I keep it Doug E.
Lil' buddy ye ain't fresh as I'm is
[Verse 9]
Ye ain't big, big whippin'
Ye ain't steady tip tippin'
No girl gettin' homie
You ain't fresh as I'm is
Think ye is
But cha ain't
Think you get it crunk like me but you can't
[Verse 10]
Ye ain't ridin' Ye ain't ridin')
Ye ain't bumpin' like I'm bumpin'
Ye ain't sayin' nutin' homie
Ye ain't fresh as I'm is
Ye ain't got it (Ye ain't got it)
You don't keep it Doug E.
Like I keep it Doug E.
Lil' buddy ye ain't fresh as I'm is
[Verse 11]
Ye ain't big, big whippin'
Ye ain't steady tip tippin'
No girl gettin' homie
You ain't fresh as I'm is
Think ye is
But cha ain't
Think you get it crunk like me but you can't
