Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, M.G., Large Pro, yeah 

C'mon, right, yeah, up now 

M.I.C., yeah, yeah, y'know 

Yeah, it's that time nigga 

Yeah yeah yeah 



Now, it's like a maze that I'm trapped in 

Where guns are clapped, people scramblin 

Hustlers are back from out-of-town trips gamblin 

Three dice are rolled, hit the asphault tumblin 

Trips felt, niggaz paid the bank off are mumblin 

When I'm comin in, couldn't see all my pain 

Some are drained by the struggle, others have no shame 

Lame rival cats goin hard, talkin all that fake shit 

Runnin out of patience, hungry ghetto niggaz take shit 

Niggaz need paper, rob the bodega, real as when 'Pac 

pulled the burner, killin Old Man Quillis 

How real is, knowin statisticians say that I'll be dead by 

quarter life I lived, pullin my bid 

So that my kids never know, bein locked up or poverty's wrath 

Sit and practice and master my craft 

Took control, broke camp, halfway home 

Better than when old timers came home, I can't complain 

Smile at rain anyway, too cool jewel droppin 

My CD's the answer when propped in the same way I clocked in 

I was born with it, so it's love now 

Y'all are unaware and I ain't scared cause I'm up now 



Yeah, yeah yeah 

Comin up sunny, yeah, I'm up now 

That's right, uh, that's right 

Yeah, to my niggaz, I'm up now 

Yeah.. 

Yeah, I'm up now 

Yeah, uh, uh, uh-uh (Mic G!) 

Yeah, yeah I'm up now 



A revolutionary real nigga 

You fuckin up to all my X'd out pill niggaz 

Double Bentleys is gross, Navigator matter shit, rhyme shift 

More definin than when planes and the Towers were hit 

Cowards spit lies, SL-55 drop 

Bein tailed by them federal guys, honies hide 

With the fellas gettin dicked down, passed like a blunt 

Filled with haze, that seem to burn slower with hash 

Flashy niggaz brawl, what the fuck is goin on? 

Lost some are flowin wrong 

Niggaz servin fifteen and goin on 

With dark skies, fighter jets over city skies 

Mami's workin all she seem to think about is pretty eyes 

So recognize, shit is bigger than the picture perceived 

It's a war now, please believe 

All my G's get it together we're lost in the whirlwind 

All my niggaz rise from the slum cause I'm up now 



Yeah, yeah, yeah, ye yeah 

Yeah, now, I'm up now 

Right, yeah, ye yeah 

Yeah, cause I'm up now 

Yeah, ye, up now 

Word up son, I'm up now 

Yes, yeah, yo 

Yo.. 



See I'm the most provacative, let 'em have what I gotta give 

Epitaph of struggle I surpassed and the drama lived 

Monumental thinker, hang hard, never sinkin he will 

The kind of play don't want my enemy feel 

Wastin time caught up, did a white line new year's 

Celebratin later I was moved to tears 

I'm forgiven, still spittin, truest vision get it crunk now 

Righteous little nigga you a star cause you up now
