Raised out in 
Carson,Ambla 
Elementary,
Principal 
Dr. Larson,

He got all the ladies.
I was just a nappy headlivin on the 9 block,'

Bedcross,I was at the chronic spot.
Did a lil' roosterand my homey shantwain-and the homey 
Big Bput me on the game.
The big homey solotold me not to bang.
He told me don't putmy career to a shame.
But I did, anyway,and 
I got in trouble but
I had the hookup on the hundred dolla double ups,
My nigga E-dog... he had the flow,
And when I snuck out my window,
I used to go smoke up his endo.
