Big Boi

Time and time again see I be thinking about that future
Back in the days when we was slaves
I bet we was some cool *** *****z
But now we vultures, slam my ***** back out
To make his *** black out, or even pull your ***king head
To make his whole crew believers
You're harder than a ***** full of ****s
But that don't be sounding like King **** to me
See now in the ghetto or should I say, 'Lakewood'
You better be strapped 'cause them *****z over there just ain't good

Just being a *******, servin' the loyal customers
Rent was due on the first of the month so I'm hustling
I buy you 50 box of Phillies at the Citgo
And *****z be wanting drinks and **** from the ***king sto', yo
But that's aight, though, 'cause I be getting paid
And every trip I take, there's a dollar to be made
I'm digging through my pockets for my earnings got you five
Deep, there it is, now it's time to smoke that jive

If you smoke a dime, then I'll smoke a dime
If you smoke a dime, then I'll smoke a dime
Hey 'Dre, let 'em know what's up

Time is slippin', slowly but surely
*****z I used to hang with wants to act like they don't know me
Come and listen to my story, I gots a lot of **** up on my mind
I wipe the boo-boo from my brain then I finish up my rhyme
Take a number, I caught you in a slumber
I hit you for a lick, I'm in the slammer for the summer
But now it is the fall, I'm havin' a ball, makin' my nickel sacks crawl
To my *****z got to servin' when they beep and when they call

I got the Peter, Paul and plus that Mary Jane
I'm rolling reefer out of a Regal, how could I refrain
From being rough, from being tough, from being dangerous
I'm hanging with the P.A., *****, ain't no changin' us
See you can try, if you try, if you don't, you don't
If you wanna battle, it's either that you will or you won't
See that rap **** is really just like selling smoke
If you got some fly ****, yo *****z gonna always toke

Dope, is not what I be slanging on this track
*****z don't comprehend that it be deeper than Cadillacs
You know that, right, you bite, you ***ked up
You won't be getting away this time, I'm real as hell, so what's up
I rip **** wit pimp ****, I'm slangin' it from the south
Talk bad about the A-town, I'll bust you in your ***kin' mouth

You [Incomprehensible] that, so do that
Smoke one, yeah

If you smoke a dime, say, 'I'll smoke a dime'
If you smoke a dime, say, 'I'll smoke a dime'
