I`m not a nuttin` ass nigga, just down for my riches, I figure it takes
About a million or 500.000 tapes
To become officially gold or platinum status
That`s why I`m always at this
Practise, in and out tha studio 24-7
My occupation, this is how I make my livin`
I get harrassed mostly everywhere I go
Can do my thing without a motherfuckin` popo
All up in my mix, cause I`m tryin` to maintain
And get a grip light weight fame
Born and raised in tha valley south Vallejo
The northern part of Cali, `bout my mail
Struggle and strive all my life in a world of grief
Sucker motherfuckers wanna knock me of my feet
But Imma keep on steppin` and gettin` bigger
I`m not a nuttin` ass nigga
I`m not a nuttin` ass nigga, just down for my riches
Not to long ago I`m off to the bank to cash my cheque
The lady teller wouldn`t give me no damn respect
She started acting hella snotty, kinda prejudiced
I guess she didn`t like the way that a nigga was dressed
Before I could even get my foot in the door, right
The bitch already had a brother like me stereo-typed
Ready to push the button with no delay
I said wait a minute, baby, you mistakin` me for Andre
I`m not a ... rat head wanna be
I wouldn`t rob a fuckin` bank for publicity
I get it honestly, legally so have no fear
I make more in a week than you do in a year
Straight out tha geto, hillside resident
Sick wid it records and tapes, and I`m the president
So don`t go thinkin` that every brother is out to get ya
I`m not a nuttin` ass nigga
I`m not a nuttin` ass nigga, just down for my riches
Sometimes my language is vulgar, lotsa profanity
I try not to trip when kids parents be sweating me
18 and over, that`s what you gotta be
To purchase my tape and make sure you got I.D.
That`s all I can say so mommy and daddy need to peep
It ain`t my fault the kids dump it off the streets
They hear it at school, walkin` home and everywhere they go
And most of the violence come from movies on HBO
The shit that I be spittin` is real cause I`m real see
I`m out to make a meal, do you feel me
Holdin` my own cause I`m grown and intelligent
Try to knock my hustle? That shit is irrelevant
I`m not a nuttin` ass nigga, just down for my riches
