Coolio - Is This Me lyrics
Yeah 1996 Coolio with the flow Rated are superstar LV that's right Mossberg Smith & Wesson Forty-five let me tell you how I learned my lesson House party in the hood at some n***as I don't know But I had to go they had a house full of hos I stepped into that party with my n***a high off that head The hos is looking good so we try to make a friend for night Let's get it right let's get it straight But now these punka** n***as in the party want to play a hate I'd bust a cap to save a rat so what's up with that It's 1996 so these bustas get no kinda of doubt Like American Express here we go again I never leave home without it so don't even think about it Just let me leave and I won't have to make you bleed But if you make an offensive move then I'm gonna have to show a groove Back up off let's keep it soft Don't make me have to show you who these 16 bosses be This really ain't me no more These streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside This really ain't me no more These streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside Way back in the days we dudes don't forget a name Now everybody wants the fame but things change ain't the same All these s**er set-trippin k**in for no reason That's why I never leave the house without my nina I love my baby carry my baby wherever I go For these s**ers get in a twist they say I beat their pimpin Stop wishin you was in my shoes And learn to be yourself stop acting like somebody else It's ninety-six and most of the homeys thinking of six feet The six I found out if you wear partners where the friends go Every week you don't see me I gotta put at work I guess the sh** don't stop till my gaskets drop Stop hating my life and get your own Be true to this game or this game will do you cold Everywhere I go I got my back I hate to do my all black but I must stay strapped This really ain't me no more These streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside This really ain't me no more These streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside No no oooo I can't escape this life I been trying to live in piece but these fools won't cease They insist with their bullsh** so I got a full clip Chitty-chitty bang-bang doin it's a new thing One shot from a Jake .38 can make your brain ache I'm the kinda n***a that don't believe in frontin' But if you run up on me trippin you best believe I'm dumpin' I got bills to pay and kids to raise And a whole generation of lost n***as to save So I ain't got time for that yip yap If you start some static I'm gonna have to blow your mind back Believe that n***a daisy if you do it's true f** with Coo you get done that's how we do it to it Don't start no sh** and it won't be none son But if you do I'm going for my gun Like Doc Holliday a n***a ain't scary So if you want to trip then I'll be your huckleberry This really ain't me no more These streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside This really ain't me no more These streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside This really ain't me no more These streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside This really really really ain't me But the streets won't let me go I can't escape this life That they got me trapped inside
