[Featuring K Ci And JoJo  Too $hort] 
[E 40] 
Testin testin 
It's game orienfested  size six ex vested 
K Cizee.. JoJo... that boy Too Sheezee  Todd Shaw 
and Earl Stevens  a.k.a. Charlie Hustle 
Hey Todd  you on? (Am I on?)

[Too $hort] 
The foundation was laid several years ago 
I built a whole empire in your stereo 
Got a four leaf clover representin the Bay 
Oakland  Frisco, Vallejo, and EPA 
We keep the shit together, let's keep it that way 
From Sacramento all the way to San Jose 
We in a new era, for ten years you made hits 
so what's up E-Feezi? (We still the shit) Beotch! 
[E-40] 
How you think I got this pot belly, overnight? 
Shet a nig-ga was hongry, I had an appetite 
Just like I lie to my people that's caught up in the struggle 
Motherfuckers tryin to bumble, niggaz tired of slangin 
Barney Rubble, gettin in trouble and fuckin up 
Parole got me makin my kids piss in a cup 
It's cold, that's why I got a few bucks, I put up 
from sellin greens, investing in some vending machines 
From the ground up 
Chorus: K-Ci and JoJo 
We started, with nothing 
From nothing, we made something 
Nobody really gave a damn about us 
From the bottom, we started 
We started, with nothing 
From nothing, we made something 
Nobody really gave a damn about us 
From the ground on up!

This verse right here was made, said strictly for the females 
Don't y'all know it's time for y'all to blow up, like Napalm 
Instead of sellin Tupperware, and Avon 
Get your business license, go on and put the peas in the pot 
Tell your baby to get your baby daddy to buy you a
