Interlude M.A.C #1

(album: Fake Love - 2018)

Yeah, man, I remember growing up in Oakland, man
(Oh yeah, town business)
Going to the motherfucking Boom Boom Room
(The Boom Boom Room)
Young niggas talking 'bout, "What we gon' do when we grow up?" (Young niggas)
("What I'm gon' do when I grow up? What I'm gon' do when I grow up? ")
Know what I'm sayin'?
Might have a nigga 'bout
"I'ma be Michael Jordan"
"I'ma buy my whole family, and friends, nigga, Js" (Lavish)
"Nigga, mandatory, everybody that rock with me gotta have Js"
(Js, nigga)
You know what I'm sayin'?
Then you might have a motherfucker be like
(All fresh like Banks)
"I'ma be like D and Banks and them, Felix Mitchell"
(Rest in peace)
"Buy all my lieutenants candy '71 Caddies, nigga"
(The Mob)
"And then all my captains gon' have candy Stangs, nigga"
(Wah, wah, wah)
"Whole town gon' be like, 'Aw, shit, there go The Mob niggas'"
("Yeah, it's The Mob niggas, mayne! ")
"You know what I'm sayin'?"
Somebody else 'bout to be like
"Nigga, when I grow up, I'm gon' be like Too $hort"
[*Beatbox*]
"Eric B and Rakim, buying all my niggas donkey ropes, nigga"
"Everybody gonna have donkey ropes, nigga"
"Fila sweatsuits, all this shit"
(Yeah)
You know what I'm sayin'?
That's that Boom Boom Room talk when you young, growing up
But, um, decades later
We all become who we become
You know what I'm sayin'?
But I just be wondering like
"Damn, was we the only little boys in the United States that used to dream like this?"
(Dreamers, man, know what I'm sayin'?)
Little bad little boys off the streets, nigga, never made it to the music industry
(Never)
'Til I start hearing about my nigga Philthy, nigga
(Philthy-motherfuckin'-Rich, nigga)
Throwing out pieces, nigga, multiple pieces, nigga
(Chain after chain after chain)
I'm sitting in prison, nigga, level 4, nigga, thugging
Bay nigga, laughing, nigga
Thinking to myself, know what I'm talking about
"Now that's a young nigga that was growing up on the motherfucking streets, nigga"
(Streets of Oakland)
"And used to go to that Boom Boom Room, nigga"
(Yeah)
"Thinking, nigga"
'When I get on, nigga, I'm having the same niggas with me, nigga, rocking pieces, everybody get pieced up, nigga, so when they see us, nigga, it's gon' be like "Sem-Sem-Sem-City in the house"'
("When I get on, pieces, shining, nigga")
