5th Gear

Mic check, mic check

Mic check, mic check

Ye'... y'all know who it is. Ta-ha

Oh! Uh. Uh-uh-uh

It's... it's... it's that on top music!

Look, come an' cruise wit' me

I'm good in any hood, no matter who's wit' me

My mind on gettin' money, bumpin' new 50

Or my mind was off music, 'till Clue hit me

An' told me keep it on the booth strictly

So I step in, watchin' my surroundings and my settin'

Then I let the Percocet set in

Rough year, lost five of my homeboys

I ain't worried 'bout it, y'all alive, just home boy

I feel like I'm the last real nigga left, or...

Or maybe all the real niggas just left

We growin' extinct, we like Dinosaurs

There's only a few exceptions, so minus y'all

The greatest rapper alive, is wearin' suits and ties

So you got a buncha' whack niggas sayin' they him

Used to be if you strive for so somethin' you could achieve it

Now just say shit, these niggas'll believe it

I'm done screamin' out Jump Off rules

Lost my girl, broke all of my Jump Off rules

Kept fu'ckin' the side chick, so a nigga lied more

Picked 'er up in the womans car, that I ride for

Creepin', I would hide more

Got confused as to who I'm 'sposed to fight for

I can't even blame the jump, it was my fault

Cause I gave 'er the gun and she killed the only bi'tch I would die for

So the noise is calt' for

When you goin' through Ts type of Pain -

Dawg, ya voice gets altered

Know it's hard to stay calm

Goin' need State Farm

When you fu'ckin' with a con

No, not Akon. (Let's go!)

I'm high off life, a walkin' napalm

Fastballs comin' at 'em from a Dice-K arm!

Ridin' suspended L

No wonder I'm on fire, I already been through Hell

So... when the the World's against you well...

Naw, I never snitch, but I'll let the pencil tell

I suffer from wrong thinkin' (so?)

So I avoid straightjackets

And the bi'tch that dumped Sean Kingston. (Hmmm)

Better they respect'chu then to fear you

I learnt' that starin' at the World in my rear view

But come get me, cocksucker I dare you

Rather box a felon than a nigga that's fearful. (Understand some'...)

Want a clear view, wit'out a clear view

I put the wall up but thoughts just tear through

God, I hear you, givin' me a earful (but...)

But I'mma cruise in 5th gear until I'm near you. (Oh!)

Eye of a Tiger, naw, a Sniper wit' great aim

I won't be another great slain. (Nigga!)

Takes planes, embrace pain

Ask Eddie Griffin -

You gun lose gon' lose everytime goin' up against a freight train

Niggas bleed like us, we in the same World

Keep the Patron comin' try an' make the day hurl

It's a few niggas checkin' out my chain pearls

Go ahead, try' an lift somethin' that'chu can't curl!

Far from Wayne's World

If life's a bi'tch, it ain't just R. Kelly an' Ush' fu'ckin' the Same Girl (nope!)

OG swag, walk gotta' limp in it

It's my World, everybody's payin' rent in it

I left Jers. see I took flight on 'em

Dudes tried ta' take the crown, (dawg...) didn't look right on 'em (naw!)

How you gon' fu'ck wit' a crook, heist want 'em

Play Vanilla Ice, I get Suge Knight on 'em!

Meanest Porsches, gleamin' crosses

Came from Queens to restore this

Deemed it in orbit

When the red carpet rolled out, that mean it's bosses

Don't get it fu'cked up, we had fiends before this

My third-eye sharp, so keen it's gorgeous (oh)

I've seen it all, even Halloween in August (talk to 'em!)

Gun in my hand

The game used to make you sell ya soul -

Now it gotta' come wit' a dance

I'm on the clear view (whoa!)

Wit'out a clear view (oh!)

I put the wall up, but thoughts just tear through (oh!)

God I hear you, givin' me a earful

But I'mma cruise in 5th gear until I'm near you. (Oh!)
