[Intro: Jimmy Smith]
Good God Almighty. Like back in the old days. You know, years ago they had the A&R men to tell you what to play, how to play it and you know whether it's disco and rock but we just went in the studio and we did it. We had the champagne in the studio, of course, compliments of the company, and we just laid back and did it. So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half as much as we enjoyed playing it for you. Because we had a ball. Only real music is gonna last, all the other bullsh** is here today and gone tomorrow...
[Verse 1: Chubby Jag]
Yea, still thinking bout a deal, got me heated
Know my people gon' hate me, I thought about this sh** greatly
I thought how long it'd take me, I told my bro he preceded
And talk about the perks of the deal if I really need it
He said, "you remember them broke days, scraping up change
With your man, trying to smoke haze?"
I said yea, no food
It was crazy, just bread and juice
He said, "had you sounding hungry you was letting loose"
I said you right bro, finally we get the bounce
This ain't like all them other times, homie this one count
I told papi, I need ten
Holmes make this amount, I'm thinking big
African-american, Swiss account
I can't believe that all this good sh** happening holmes
I still speak to Brandon Jennings like what's happening holmes
Don't let them make you feel bad for you actions holmes
They gotta understand there's money and you stacking holmes
I told Real in 06', I got cold sh**
They got me thinking bout the manual days, old sh**
Before Wayne could dunk, when I use to wait at Pump
sh** just to buy a cleaner I had to save for months
I'm on some wicked sh**, never on some kick it sh**
Never even kick it with the dudes I used to kick it with
I run into them on some all star ticket sh**
Reminisce for a second and a second more I'm quick to split
I got a problem with grown men that be quick to quit
I'm down to grind, hammer time, all my sh** legit
I told 89, back when I worked at the movies
I'm a change to make it easy to work with the new me
I know what grinding mean, selling cable in Oakland
A n***a writing with Ricky, I had a grinding team
They left a n***a by himself to go and find his cream
Whole (Johnny?) on a journey, trynna find his dream
It's like I barely talk to mom though she's minutes away
But she busy, only got a few minutes a day
Now am I saying that, using an excuse
Cause I know I ain't popping, and she quick to throw sh** in ya face
I don't dream like Elijah, when I'm M-J
When you taught yourself to fight, how you think your sensei
Nervous trying to talk to a women but I had pen play
Love no sh** say, me and you comprende
Remember granny died then I showed up to late
She use to tell me sh** like, "boy you gon' be to great"
I only f** with certain fam cause she's a (toothache)
I don't talk a lot holmes, like I got a toothache
War scars for the money, tell them get Pacino
Seen ballers get their leg broke, Rick Pitino
West Adams, now the hood on some foolish sh**
I told Max stay out of jail so we could do this sh**
Feel like me and 89 recording in the cold
Sound like we chiefing, he recording with a cold
I won't quit till my calendar is pouring in with shows
Yea I'm shooting for the best, recording for the gold
Chubby, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake
Yea I did this for my team hope it sound straight
No more broke days, happy that we found cake
Making money for the green, real pound cake
Chubby
