But what's gon' have to do is lay it down and lace it 
up like a shoesbraim 
Ok, like this here... 

Aloud me to take you back down memory lane 
When a player was so young in this rap game 
Yeah, if you had a fight you best to knock a sucker out 
Because moms wouldn't bout to let you in the house 
Yeah, we had to throw em' in the days 
Didn't have glock, never seen a twelve gatch 
Wasn't no banging n' gang n' philly ate the defs 
Brother had to go to school in the days to get a rep 
Always wanted to bust a gang in theese raps 
And be the first player to put Frisco on the map 
So add this to the list of them hits 
pappin knockin for the new year 
Ima ved in this rappin and is you wet behind the ear 
Shit, I even caught the San Quinton blues 
Used to rock that motherfucker every night, I paid my dues 

chorus 
I talked the talk, but now Im walking the walk 
What up, foe! Huh yeah! Yeah! What,what! 

Im from the west but I don't ride the saller 
Used to do a lot of battle, 
but you money are make you chunk, rattle 
Ever since the solarsystem boy club and house parties 
Rap contest, a book of team, and it was everybody 
snatching it taking it swop on stuff all the way home 
Once me and O' hit the jets, man we was gone
