[hook:]
This goes out to all my educated gangstas, gangstas, gangstas, gangstas
This that's $%&^x for all the gangstas, gangstas, gangstas, gangstas

This goes out to all my educated gangstas, gangstas, gangstas, gangstas
This anthem for all the educated gangstas, gangstas, gangstas, gangstas.


[verse 1:]
It's a brand new era, you can tell by the cap
It s a brand new era, you can tell by the rap

Excuse me, i mean hip hop, my ticket to the fame
Only thing that comes close is my ticket for that plane
To la, i moved from m-a- double s

A-c-h-u-es-double t- and s
The 413 was kinda boring, see
So i came to the land of dreams and opportunities

To do the thing,
Fulfill my music and my movie dreams
Know what i mean

Land of studios and bougie things
Know what i mean
It's so cool i had to do repeats

What i'm about?
7 dollars in my account
It's kinda sad, i can't draw nothing out

I'm-broke as $#&@
So i'm flowin in some holy chucks
Workin sucks

So i wrote this song to gross some bucks
Got u this far so i guess i growed your trust


[verse 2:]
The bass drum goes bam!
The beat goes slam

Ya heart starts pounding
And ya feet go dance
We livin in the rhythm

It's a real chillin prison
Caught up in the net
The $%&^xx a big system

Caught up in the moment
Hope is your opponent
Hope is her name and you been bonin for a moment

Ya relationship is goin
Cause u be spacin-zonin
Career's on ya mind all the time

Breaks you, don't it?
You try to fix it, but the vibe's slightly different
Try to open up her eyes

And she's like "who is it"
I'm like "it's me" "k-y-l-e",
Don't call me kaywhy, like you don't love me

Like u don't know me
Like u my homie
But i guess we better end it if you don't want me

Since june of '03
My attempt to roam free
Really started writing,

My pen and only me.

[verse 3:]

So come on let's live it up-ay!
Fill ya cup-ay!
Get ripped like you don't give a $#&@-ay!

Yea it's sund-ay!
Tomorrows mond-ay!
You got work be we still getting drunk-ay!

Wise man once gave me some knowledge
Enjoy ya young life, make ya way to college
So i went -so i went -so i went-so i went money spent

Part for books, rent, and getting bent
Ideas elevated, i was hella faded
Universi-ty made my rhymes educated.

And when i say ganstas, don't mean gang bangers
I'm talking bout the ones who see the need for changes
Cause the game is

So contagious
Everybody raps
And it all sounds the same, but
I made this beat, so tell me what you think
I kinda liked it so i had to bless it with the speech.
