Lyrics

VanNess

[Intro]

Look, at VanNess (at the park)

By the crips, yup, right on 65th, yup, yup

At your neck, something like Gillette, yup

Tryna get a check, yup, I just want respect, yup

[Verse 1]

At 16, I took a crack at it, 17, I was a rap addict

18, took a break from it, 19, I was back at it

20, turned into a crack addict, I was spittin' dope

I was givin' hope to all my niggas in the back alley

Could've been a little bad nigga with a bandana

And a damn hammer and some bad Xannies and no damn daddy

Well damn, now that I think about it, got the bandana

And a damn hammer and the damn Xannies

Don't be mad at me, damn, nigga, where the rap has me

At the Grand Canyon with a damn baddy and the ass fatty like Crash Bandicoot

My head spinnin' and my legs skinny 'cause the man was sittin' for so long

On the boulevard, I been so strong

And the next week, I'm a fuck around and drop all of these old songs

I done prolonged, I'm a pro, dawg

To these wack niggas, it's so long, to these rap niggas, it's so long

[Chorus]

I gotta let these niggas know

Came up from the bottom, yeah I got it on the floor

Motherfuckers thing I'm up, but I gotta get some more

Every time I get a dollar, a new penny hit the floor

I remember when I was at VanNess (at the park)

By the crips, yup, right on 65th, yup, yup

At your neck, something like Gillette, yup

Tryna get a check, yup, I just want respect, yup, yup

[Break]

"That's all a nigga need is a little bit of respect. You know, nice little check, nice little chain here and there. I know it ain't everything and shit, but I gotta take care of my fam and shit, so you know right now..."

[Verse 2]

Tryna run through this money so I gotta make it stretch

Need a lot of commas on the check, I gotta make it next

Gotta slide on all the targets that are droppin' on the net

I told your daughter keep her draws up, they ain't gotta hit the deck

'Cause I'm just tryna get the neck, I'm Blac Chyna with finesse

Don't need designer to impress, I'll be flier spendin' less

I'm a child of 65th so my mind been on the cliff

Since the age of six, and by the grade of fifth, my brain was 86

Now I'm ancient, you can't play the kid don't even take the risk

I don't even pay attention, how I'm supposed to pay the rent?

Don't even save numbers, how the fuck I'm supposed to save a bitch? (sorry)

Yeah that's the way it is, so go ahead and hate and shit

Came up from the bottom, you can't stop 'em, I'ma make it big

[Chorus]

I gotta let these niggas know

Came up from the bottom, yeah I got it on the floor

Motherfuckers thing I'm up, but I gotta get some more

Every time I get a dollar, new penny hit the floor, yeah

I remember when I was at VanNess (at the park)

By the crips, yup, right on 65th, yup, yup

At your neck, something like Gillette, yup

Tryna get a check, yup, I just want respect, yup
