Yeah, that's what got me here The Chucks, the khaki suits, all the swap meet years The six dollar socks, the five dollar rocks Uncle Greg rest in peace, he taught me how to chop That's why I love the hood and everything we got From the ice cream trucks to the forty ounce tops All white Air Force Ones, the fake Jacob watch A few reasons I drive the Bentley hard top Use it in my songs cause I live it on the block Tattoo it on my face, let the whole world watch I'm that type of nigga y'all made my city bigger Dog turn the TV off, got tired of watchin Jigga boss So we told our moms we's lookin for jobs When we was really in the record store lookin for Nas Project or the ghetto, ghetto and the projects From Compton to being Dre's number one prospect, so [Chorus] [Jadakiss] Hahhh-HAHHH~! Yeah, uhh They know, uhh Yeah, uhh ain't no help there Just food stamps, WIC checks and welfare Every man goin for self there And still might need to borrow your Medicade card for health care Yeah, if you never got knocked then you made it Everybody know each other, if not they related You can get shot or get bladed There's dudes that got jobs now that had blocks in the 80's Six months, five years is the usual cop out Ninth, tenth grade is usually when niggaz dropout Fights break out when you wired and start jokin Lot of O.G.'s retired and started smokin House party games of spade, sweet Kool-Aid Loud music all night, 'til the boys in blue raid So therefore, I could never be too paid I know where I'm goin, and where I'm from'll get you laid, yeah [Chorus] [Trick Daddy] Ha-hah... tell me this - how come Black folks get a little dough and forget where they come from Man we used to have good times But since you moved on up, yes you ain't cool with us We still support you though we ain't see you much You ain't the first fool, it's cool with us But while you're livin out your idle dreams Remember how far you came'll help you keep them things (sho' nuff) Now it's cool that your address changed But I'm tryin to holla at my dog and your number ain't the same (DAMN!) I guess new homies came with his fame (say what) But see true homies will stay the same Through all the ups and downs in yo' career A couple wives, few kids scattered here or there When you dead or broke without a deal All the groupies cleared, the ghetto still be here [Chorus] [DJ Khaled] DJ Khaled!
