[01:09.93] My nautica, asking for a hookup
[01:11.73] Well sorry but my schedule is all booked up
[01:14.47] Nobody put me on I made it up the hard way
[01:17.12] Look out for my people but the suckers should parlay
[01:19.83] Cuz it's business kid, this ain't no free for all
[01:22.54] You have to wait your turn, you must await your call
[01:25.23] So now, now it is my duty to
[01:28.09] Eliminate and subtract all of the booty crews
[01:29.79] And suckers should vacate
[01:31.69] Before I get irate
[01:32.56] And I'll kick your can

[01:56.87] Lil' Dap remains sick
[01:57.87] Yes the Group Home is thick
[01:58.73] So all you punks hear this
[02:00.50] Everytime you riff
[02:01.43] The more fame that we get
[02:02.30] Muthafuckas act hard
[02:03.22] Thinking that they are God
[02:05.03] Niggaz just don't understand
[02:05.94] Let me be my own man
[02:07.74] Did everything on my own
[02:08.62] And everyplace wasn't home
[02:09.56] Everywhere that I'd rest
[02:11.38] I had to dress with a vest
[02:12.26] I guess you get the routine but with a lot of stress
[02:15.00] Frustration on my mind
[02:15.87] Brothers doin' mad time
[02:17.65] Rhymes are organized like crime
[02:18.58] As we're rippin' the lines
[02:20.44] Brothers just don't know
[02:21.32] How shit got to go
[02:22.22] Cuz I was told
[02:23.18] To never give my back to the street
[02:24.98] As I walk through the ghetto
[02:26.74] Dead souls I greet
[02:27.66] See my man give him pound
[02:28.55] Then I walk with a frown
[02:30.34] Another minute
[02:31.20] Another brother's gunned down
[02:32.17] Shit is getting too close that's why the Group Home is thick
[02:34.81] So everytime you riff the more fame that we get
[02:37.57] My father always said don't watch the one across the street
[02:40.23] Watch the one right next
[02:41.19] B'cuz he's easy to flex
[02:42.01] Took heed to what he said
