Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah man, you know
2002 man
Approaching 2003 man
Where we taking this man
You know what I'm saying
Where we headed for the future man
What's the resolution?
[Verse 2]
Wealth, health and happiness ****
Keep me from running 'round clapping these ****
Sometimes you gotta just handle your business
**** it, it's on me, rounds of shots for ****
Punk, I wake up everyday to cathedral ceilings
Jumping out my bed, wall to wall marble and pillars
Living like the Pharaoh Tut, I'm blessed with life
So I breathe deep and give praise to the most high
Then I get fresh for a new day
I eat broccoli for breakfast and smoke my trees
Turn on the flat screen to see Span
See the elite strength, attorney general slowly getting bills passed
Prophecies coming to pass
We gotta survive this **** done, it's nothing to laugh at
I hops in the V, grab the heat and I stash that
I'm in tune with Doc, Pac and Huey, it's a rap
[Verse 3]
I traveled the world and been a lot of places
Believe me dog, ain't nothing like home
And if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself
You got drama, who gonna clap that chrome?
Nobody like you, somebody like me
When death, I'm ready for it in threes
And me off point? C'mon now **** please
I'm paranoid, you know I'm burning those trees
[Verse 4]
Saw a lot of **** die, some **** survived
And those that did, did it by the skin that they hide
Dodging that long ride, the four-fifth aimed at 'em
And knew to fall back when them slugs came at 'em
On the real, for me to be here telling y'all this
Is like dice then I rolled that four-five-six
And never lost ever since, though I took that big pinch
My brother passed away, 24/7 I was bent
Drunk in my pain, a lot of friends went and then came
And those that stayed understood a **** pain
And for a **** problems had no one to point the blame
I was my own worst enemy going against the grain
Somewhere along the line them pieces had to get grabbed
All this money plus family, **** wasn't that bad
All the little shorties running 'round like **** sweet
Just remember these words from the m-o-double-b and it's rare
[Verse 5]
I traveled the world and been a lot of places
Believe me dog, ain't nothing like home
And if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself
You got drama, who gonna clap that chrome?
Nobody like you, somebody like me
When death, I'm ready for it in threes
And me off point? C'mon now **** please
I'm paranoid, you know I'm burning those trees
[Verse 6]
I kiss my finger, cross my heart
I'ma make it out these dark days
Whether together or we part ways
I got a promise to that boy tatted on my arm
Three strong, man, the heat's still lukewarm
Who can you trust when your friends want to pop your safe?
You let him stash in your place, now you watch his waist
Vision the days, hear the ghost whisperer
Dogs we left in the past brought back now here with us
Cross my heart, let the haze linger
Pour out a little liquor knowing God took a good ****
Thousand dollar slippers skirt from the scene, he was just worker
Dog, you was his every dream
I kissed his face like I never knew 'em
It was me, once upon a time when life was ruined
Now the mink rope chain sparkling
Jumping out of bed, thousand dollar slippers sliding, hugging the carpets
[Verse 7]
I traveled the world and been a lot of places
Believe me dog, ain't nothing like home
And if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself
You got drama, who gonna clap that chrome?
Nobody like you, somebody like me
When death, I'm ready for it in threes
And me off point? C'mon now **** please
I'm paranoid, you know I'm burning those trees
