Wasn't livin like Thanksgiving  I was turkey without the stuffin
 Sometimes I sweared to God that I was headed for the poorhouse
 Say mama caught the drama  she would bleed tryin to feed 4 mouths
 Wasn't rockin Girbauds  I barely had clothes  and when it snowed
 and temperatures droppin below zero  you know I froze
 No CD's  a black and white TV  a seat is a rubber tire
 with a hanger for the antenna, turned channels with some pliers
 Had nothin in my cabinet, but cans of Raid
 I'm knockin on my neighbor's door
 to borrow a cup of sugar for my Kool-Aid
 I wasn't freshly dipped, my gear was straight ripped, I'm trippin
 cause my winter coat got lost buttons
 and zippers that wouldn't stay zipped
 I never remembered ?, the brother was straight fat cat
 Not even a Big Mac black, I had Kid Castle topped with crackerjacks
 Walkin the streets, with the weak sneaks on my feet
 And the freaks wouldn't speak, I never had lipstick on my cheek
 So much for gettin humped from the stunts, I always struck out
 The one y'all likes is takin hikes if you can't pull a buck out
 So now I gots to dedicate my next plate to all the homeboys and girls
 Straight up baby, I'm blowin up in the world

 Blowin up, blowin up in the world
 Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
 I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines
 I gotsta get mines, youknowhatI'msayin? I'm blowin up in the world

 Blowin up, blowin up in the world
 Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
 I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines
 I gotsta get mines, yeah...

 It seems like only yesterday, my moms was on my back
 "Get your butt up out the sack and find a job or hit the road Jack"
 Black, I don't disown her, I'm just a kid from Corona
 with a G.E.D. diploma, with more ribs showin than Tony Rhoma's
 In order to get straight, I gotsta to make a muscle
 Learned to hustle and bustle and I gave the streets a tussle
 Standin down on the corner slangin fat rocks to bottles
 with the black tops, for cops got my shorty watchin my back Hobbes
 Makin mad lucci, bought up Louis Vuitton gucci
 Hoochies callin me boochi, while they smooch me, givin up the coochie
 Now I'm a felon, started sellin and splittin melons
 I started gellin, to tellin police just cause I was swellin
 Hangin out on the corner playin cee-lo, rollin for half a kilo
 Yo you'll never see G-low a-goin below
 Yeah, straight gettin fortunate, as long as fees was torchin it
 It started gettin hot around the block, the cops was scorchin it
 But luckily I made out before the coppers could frisk me and diss me
 cause business is drugs is gettin too risky
 So now I just lamp, collect stamps, snatch up tramps diamonds and pearls
 Straight up baby, I'm blowin up in the world

 Blowin up, blowin up in the world
 Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
 I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines
 I gotsta get mines, youknowhatI'msayin? I'm blowin up in the world

 Blowin up, blowin up in the world
 Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
 I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines
 I gotsta get mines, yeah...

 I got put on by DJ Polo, cut the record, "It's a Demo"
 and started chillin in limos with champagne and tinted windows
 Hoppin, no time for pages, sportin gold chains and rings
 Clockin money and fame, nothin changed, I'm still the same
 Just spendin 20's and 10's at women pullin on my linen
 and grinnin cause I was winnin in this game from the beginning
 The lyrical skills was kinda ill, gave you a slight chill
 So I just let the hype build, known for rappers run and go write wills
 I turned from a hobo to a solo bozin for dolos
 Stole my dough, you still below, now I perfer cigars and blow Mo'
 So catch a flashback, of a G. Rap track, attacked, like a headcrack
 that's smack, through your cap, with the lead black
 And here's a new cut, for pooh-butt, rappers hangin from off my
 two nuts like they was put there by members of the Ku Klux
 So peep Kool G. Rap, don't sleep, money unless it's witcha girl
 Straight up kid, I'm blowin up in the world

 Blowin up, blowin up in the world
 Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
 I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines
 I gotsta get mines, youknowhatI'msayin? I'm blowin up in the world

 Blowin up, blowin up in the world
 Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
 I'm blowin up the world, I gotta get mines, I gotta get mines
 I gotsta get mines, yeah
