FV Til I Die

(album: Pound Syndrome - 2015)

[Hook Hopsin:]
Ya'll ain't even seen the nigga Hop coming
That's how I roll, dawg
The second niggas take they eyes off me
I leave 'em on the side of the road, dawg
I'm the realest, believe me
Niggas can't see me, they'll take a life to be me
Ye-yeah, who the fuck I rep? Can you remind me
It's Funk Volume till I D-I-E, my nigga

[Verse 1 Hopsin:]
Yeah, you behind if you don't know the power (nigga)
Product this shit the moment Ruthless started going sour (what?)
Niggas is saying fuck you to us, but we have spoke it louder
Now they come to us for advice in the game, they know it's ours (true)
Cause It's so hard just to survive in this era
We learn from trial and error, it's hard for cowards to bare us
They know the style is terror, nigga we everywhere
Yeezy and Hov ain't the only niggas that's wilding in Paris
Back in the day, me and my nigga SwizZz was always in grind mode
Repping that 818 was just like walking that tightrope
We've seen rappers come and go and get lost in this cycle
So we had to fucking make sure we left all of your minds blown
SwizZz? He told me 'bout his brother Damien saying that he could create a structure for us
We're guaranteed to make a win
I said I'm in, let the games begin
So he introduced us, then after that
We plotted on some ways to make us trend, yeah

Ye-yeah, who the fuck I rep? Can you remind me
It's Funk Volume till I D-I-E, my nigga

[Verse 2 Hopsin:]
You see, I took a shot out of the glass of mischief
Made an album so raw the way you just had to get it, every track explicit
I figured those of you who was in love with rap would listen
And tell your parents that it's the one gift they should grab for Christmas
Then I blew up way faster than what I had predicted
It's like magic, isn't it, they love my language and graphic image
Some people thought Ruthless put me into a bad position
But I over came it and outshined 'em, I'm back up in it
2011, went on a nation wide tour
Came back and dropped that Ill Mind 4
That put me in a cool place, swiped up a million views in a few days
I celebrated inside of swimming pools sipping Kool Aid
I shot a video with my nigga Tech and B.o.B
I went from feeling lonely to how does everyone know me?
2012, I made the XXL Freshman list
I knew that this fucking game was gon' be mine when I stepped in it
Come on, man

[Hook Hopsin:]

[Verse 3 Hopsin:]
I was online chilling, blogging and what not (okay)
I stumbled across this one nigga, reminded me of a young Pac (right)
I asked Dame if he heard of Dizzy he said, "Come on Hop
I been bumping his shit before you, bruh, his songs hot."
If he had that push, then so many doors'll become unlocked
He said we should sign him, I said that's a long shot
We flew him to Denver to see our show and said you fuck with this shit?
He said, "Shit nigga, yiggity yamp, I'm up in this bitch."
A few months later, one of the homies had stopped me
Asked if I had seen this raunchy, zombie filled, godly video, that's beyond beast
I said, "probably, I don't know, who the fuck you speakin 'bout?"
He showed me Skitzo by Jarren Benton, I started freaking out!
I'm like, oh shit! I had to show SwizZz
And Dame and they both flipped, it's a trip, this nigga's so sick!
We had to put him on quick and blow this nigga up
Now we got a serious squad, the truth, it is nuts

[Verse 4 SwizZz:]
Yo, I took the college route to figure out my path in life
Romp the UCI and that lead me right back behind the mic
I tried to make my dad proud, brother got his MBA
While I was wilding, taking random classes tryna find my way
Junior year, I had to bounce not to blindly chasing dream
Calculated riffs, I knew that I devised a perfect scheme
Hop was gazing at the moonlight, I just hit the valley scene
Dame got rocked by the recession, then we formed the fucking team
F-U-N-K-V-O-L-U-M-E, nigga
Seven years into this shit, somehow we're only getting bigger
And we're just now gonna start the shit, I've been up out the picture
Dizzy, Hop, Jarren, and Hoppa stay confident I deliver
So I'm grateful for the chance and the position that I'm placed
Meet the aftermath, the aftermath, the Funk is in your face
Independent living, we control every decision made
What up Dame? Prepare the reign, we killing this thing, it won't stop, bitch!

[Hopsin & SwizZz:]
Haha, Zzzeed up
Don't act like you don't know what time it is fool
SwizZz
Dizzy motherfucking Wright
Jarren Benton
DJ Hoppa
Let's make it

[Hook Hopsin:]
Ye-yeah, who the fuck I rep? Can you remind me
It's Funk Volume till I D-I-E, my nigga
