Welcome Ladies and
Gentlemen – to the
eighth wonder of the
world the place where girls
rock diamond and pearl
men run up in the
hood, these are the people,
not common class thug
City central – no
talk of crip or blood
where young money is
the only drug, get
your hustle anyway
you can, making mine
everyday.
Got that financial
plan, making all these
people pay I’ma
get educated;
work my way to the
top, fuck slinging get
annihilated
I can hear those people’s
champagne bottles pop.
I can hear those caps pop
too, I’m from the mud
Feel it in every
vein Gangster is in
me, the quick cash the
flat in NW3
the easy gash these
are all my life. I
need these now, ok crack;
coke, smack I ain’t broke.
I’m living my life
according to Snoop
at least, and Fiddy
I can hear sirens
coming, just like Dizz-
ee; bite like pythons
blood rain like the blitz
My vision turns to
ocean, but I’m rich;
Jeezy told me this
was the life for me
tell me again ‘cos
black is all i see.
React!
