I'm not a nuttin' $$# ^!$$%, just down for my riches, I figure it takes
About a million or 500.000 tapes
To become officially gold or platinum status

That's why I'm always at this
Practise, in and out tha studio 24-7
My occupation, this is how I make my livin'

I get harrassed mostly everywhere I go
Can do my thing without a mother$#&@in' popo
All up in my mix, cause I'm tryin' to maintain

And get a grip light weight fame
Born and raised in tha valley south Vallejo
The northern part of Cali, 'bout my mail

Struggle and strive all my life in a world of grief
Sucker mother$#&@ers wanna knock me of my feet
But Imma keep on steppin' and gettin' bigger

I'm not a nuttin' $$# ^!$$%

I'm not a nuttin' $$# ^!$$%, just down for my riches


Not to long ago I'm off to the bank to cash my cheque
The lady teller wouldn't give me no damn respect

She started acting hella snotty, kinda prejudiced
I guess she didn't like the way that a ^!$$% was dressed
Before I could even get my foot in the door, right

The (*##$ already had a brother like me stereo-typed
Ready to push the button with no delay
I said wait a minute, baby, you mistakin' me for Andre

I'm not a ... rat head wanna be
I wouldn't rob a $#&@in' bank for publicity
I get it honestly, legally so have no fear

I make more in a week than you do in a year
Straight out tha geto, hillside resident
Sick wid it records and tapes, and I'm the president

So don't go thinkin' that every brother is out to get ya
I'm not a nuttin' $$# ^!$$%

Sometimes my language is vulgar, lotsa profanity

I try not to trip when kids parents be sweating me
18 and over, that's what you gotta be
To purchase my tape and make sure you got I.D.

That's all I can say so mommy and daddy need to peep
It ain't my fault the kids dump it off the streets
They hear it at school, walkin' home and everywhere they go

And most of the violence come from movies on HBO
The %#@! that I be spittin' is real cause I'm real see
I'm out to make a meal, do you feel me

Holdin' my own cause I'm grown and intelligent
Try to knock my hustle? That %#@! is irrelevant
