[Ludacris]
Yeah
Gotta feel me on this one
Ain`t none of this shit happen overnight
We talking about a long time coming motherfucker
[Chorus 2X: Dolla Boy] + (Tity Boi)
It ain`t clean on these streets(uh, uh)
It`s mean on these streets(yeah)
Blocks up, hats down
Fiends on these these streets
(So please pay attention when you coming around
Cause the blocks got it`s eyebrows down, ya heard me)
[Verse One: Ludacris]
I`m still back for the first damn time
So grab a hold of your seat while I OPEN YOUR MIND
And take you back from when I dropped down from heaven
And I came on my moms and I had a MIC as my fucking weapon
When I was three I was just a little G
But if you looked in my eyes you would see the future of a real MC
And when i was nine I wrote my first ryhme
Soon rapping became one of my favorite pasttimes
Everywhere that I went spitting and dabbling
Showing my ass growing up and started traveling
From one city to the next luda landed in the ATL
Where the pimps and the players dwell
I made a tape did shows and got EX-PO-SURE
And kept learning as my black ass got OLDER
No matter what I just kept at my trade
I made mistakes but still stayed sharper than a GINSUI BLADE
[Chorus] X2
[Verse Two: Ludacris]
Age 14, my talent show, a beast out of cage
Would have won, but got disqualified for JUMPING OFF STAGE
But I didn`t care cause this game started to open it`s arms
When I was at Banaker High School pulling fire alarms
So I could get a crowd around me make a name for my BLOCK
People told me keep flowing they didn`t want me to STOP
Back when big nose John was my human beatbox
Skipped out on school hit open campus and look out for street COPS
Now I`m known around the town as that Nigga who raps
From the hill of Maze high to them G roll traps
And I was still making demos perfecting the craft
Some said I wouldn`t make it they would giggle and laugh
So I picked up a couple books from DONALD GOINES
About the busimess of this shit and how to FLIP A FEW COINS
By the age of eighteen I was destined to MAKE IT
My bank account read DISTURBING THE PEACE INCORPORATED
[Chorus] X2
[Verse Three: Ludacris]
Age 18, I`m struggling just to survive
But I got a job working for change at 97.5
Now I`m rapping on the radio increasing their NUMBERS
Still Ludacris, but Alias was Chris LOVA, LOVA
Late nights I`m in the studio using they tools
Me and Poon was smoking weed and breaking all of they rtules
And I was krunk, ALL THE BIG WIGS WAS HEARING MY SONGS
But nobody did SHIT and they was taking too long
Three years went past and I saved enough cash
To make my own record company and put my self on BLAST
the album was independent it was just for the streets
I sold one thousand albums in my first fucking week
Then went on to sell fifty, put the cash in my hand
All the record companies biting, but I chose Def Jam
The main reason that I made it and I love the A town
Was because the BLOCK had it`s EYEBROWS DOWN, ya heard me
[chorus] X2
[Outro: Ludacris]
Yah, Ive` been waiting a lifetime to get what the fuck I got
It`s real man
Hardest working nigga in show business
Believe that
Shout out to Lil fate, I dub, Chaka Zulu
Yah Woo
The people`s music I used to play some happy and some jealous
Cause I`m showered with cash and they can`t remove they umbrellas
The people`s music I used to play some happy and some jealous
Cause I`m showered with cash and they can`t remove they umbrellas
Uh
{*music fades*}
You hear it raining don`t ya
You hear it rain
