[Hook x2 Polyester:] Hanging at the
park after dark with the
homies Laced up Chucks, gold chain rollie Hop over the
fence, ain't no tripping cuz they know me This is what it's like when you graduate to OG [Dom Kennedy:] Time keep moving like a
record spinning Step up out the
house and I'm representing I
don't just live here, shit, I
represent it That Westside got your girlfriend catching feelings Don't ask about my last name, it's presidential You can't talk about a
street that you ain't never been to You always yapping bout them girls you ain't never been through She call my phone crying, I
give her more than tissue A
chance to make a
million off these instrumentals And I
deserve the
whole thing, look at what we been through If it was over today, I
ain't got no issues I'll be right back in Leimert to keep it funky with you [Hook x2 Polyester:] Hanging at the

learned the
whole game from the
ones that lived it I
was around black men who was running businesses Making something out of nothing, shit we all physicists And they tried to buy me out, but we wasn't interested Y'all do something good and it's so interesting We do something better and niggas gone mention it It really don't matter cuz y'all got no benjamins Remember back in 98, you was so feminine Now it's a
rag in yo pocket, nigga who you mimicking You gotta pay yo dues first, no dividends No matter if it's Chucks or some old Timberlands Sometimes I
