[Chorus]
(Ten toes on my gangsta shit)
Spin the block, let the roof up (Whoop, whoop)
(Eyes wide with my gentlemen)
Slidin' down 21st on the deucer (Rollin')
(Stay cold with the gangsta shit)
Wolves don't sleep where I grew up
(Get to it, when I pull up)
Come and be a witness how I blew up
[Verse 1]
Look baby, I ain't perfect, but if I'm mad
Just a young pup out here tryin' to see my way
Get it all, if the chips fall, Frito-Lay
Was a whole different nigga before I met Dre (Aye)
Mind on my money, money on my mind
We was out herе slangin' that powder before LеBron
Iron sharpenin' iron, that's how we designed
Must be somethin' in the water like alkaline
Wake up in the mornin', hit the block, nothin' to it
Just another Friday, we DJ Pooh it
Had to set my office up in back of a Buick
Dropped out, started bangin', mama said I blew it
Livin' in the fast lane, spillin' brake fluid
But God had a plan for me, homie, and I knew it
Nothin' like them other guys, out there tellin' lullabies
Nigga, we was traumatized, why would I apologize?
[Chorus]
(Ten toes on my gangsta shit)
Spin the block, let the roof up (Whoop, whoop)
(Eyes wide with my gentlemen)
Slidin' down 21st on the deucer (Rollin')
(Stay cold with the gangsta shit)
Wolves don't sleep where I grew up
(Get to it, when I pull up)
Come and be a witness how I blew up
[Verse 2]
Once upon a time, not long ago
When the G's wore khakis and pushed six-fours
There was a little crip that was misled
By another little crip, and this is what he said (You know what he said?)
I be goddamn, we don't need us a bag
By eatin' off the land, nigga, dine and dash
Became a full-time member 'fore I knew it
Made my first million dollar shit, I blew that too
Stranded on Death Row, never thought I'd recoup
Your nigga had to make a move, overnight I grew
From the streets to the boardroom, I do that too
Always got one foot in, I know my roots
Had to get through the storm
The sippin' and pourin', the pimpin' and whorin'
A different decor (Ooh, wee), a star was born
Gotta show 'em who you with, gang
Ain't no need to switch lanes
Time for the shift change, call this the Big Bang Theory
[Chorus]
(Ten toes on my gangsta shit)
Spin the block, let the roof up (Whoop, whoop)
(Eyes wide with my gentlemen)
Slidin' down 21st on the deucer (Rollin')
(Stay cold with the gangsta shit)
Wolves don't sleep where I grew up
(Get to it, when I pull up)
Come and be a witness how I blew up
(Ten toes on my gangsta shit)
Spin the block, let the roof up (Whoop, whoop)
(Eyes wide with my gentlemen)
Slidin' down 21st on the deucer (Rollin')
(Stay cold with the gangsta shit)
Wolves don't sleep where I grew up
(Get to it, when I pull up)
Come and be a witness how I blew up
