[Hook]: That's my culture That's my culture That's what it's all about That's my culture [Verse One]: I'mma keep it short, cause time is short This ain't a game to me, I don't rhyme for sport This is life in the fast lane, speeding until I get caught The last days of Jimi Hendrix looking for lines to snort This is the big one cause Pac and Big done They had a quick run, but now they victims to big guns Same with Big L, they haven't charged anyone It's a heavy load, the weight took Big Pun They sprayed Jam Master Jay, nobody know the truth Lupus took Jay Dee, shooters took big Proof They laying in the cut, posted up on the roof You got enough fame they might even come for you They got Busta's bodyguard, nobody said a thing The game is getting deep, AIDS came for Eazy-E They found Saddam in a hole across the globe But can't find k**ers living in the same zip code You think it's funny? Man, ain't no coincidences You getting money here? They probably want you outta business Go head and start trouble, they'll take you out without a witness Or have you spending life behind barbed wire fences [Hook]: {x2} That's my culture That's my culture
That's what it's all about That's my culture [Verse Two]: I'm talking about, young a** cats with federal indictments Busted for hand to hands, but ran instead of fighting it Last thing I heard they was headed for the islands Rather be a fugitive than a 25-to-lifer I played the pied piper, the livest writer Mercenary mic for hire cause I write the fire So ease back soldier, hold your spit You talking like a high roller, we know you're not I'll maltoff all y'all, blow your spot Sounding like broads rhyming about the clothes you got Sometimes I look at y'all and wonder what the f** on your mind Look around you, we living in some troubling times Iran and North Korea building nuclear bombs Iraq and Afghanistan caught up in our wars So when these rappers only rap about a home or a broad It's cause they don't know what's happening at home or abroad Protect your intelligence, they might insult ya Hip hop been dead, man it's time for the vultures I'm just trying to get mine before it's all over Cause who the f** wanna die for they're culture? [Hook]: {x2} That's my culture That's my culture That's what it's all about That's my culture
