I'm from the hardknock academy Automatically had to be Carryin' automatics sprayin sporadic, inaccuarate Clips to the back of it barrel cockin' immaculate Learn to move packages in and outta Los Angeles We savages Bustin off rounds sprayin' banana clips Knockin' pounds off 'em like Anna Nicole Smith Shit, I'm in the hood walkin' with choppers Cockin' and poppin' and coppers glocks be talkin' like Blocketie, block, block and I probably popped Hoffa and possibly just forgot where I tossed 'im This nigga's obnoxious Me and Top got your bitch in the cockpit She wanna pitstop, just to see how the cock spit These bosses deposit the profits then watch as we cop it on top of the ostrich and foxes I used to be a lil bastard with stress Now I'm a boss where I'm from with Alaska on my chest, yes!
Chorus (Akon): See I know you like my swagger No strap when I come through Chain hangin' like Ali Baba Know me, you know how I do The way that I move, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) 'Cause I'm too smooth, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) I thought you knew, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) But you ain't got a clue, nigga (ya neva gonna get it)
Who in the hell left the gate open? (Drama) I put it down for the wild, wild west Like them 1800's and dem stagecoaches If I ain't strapped then my blaze pokin' If it ain't a 600 big body then the Six Four hundred spokin' The drama spokesman - streets endorsed 'im I'd rather be openin' up my nine then closin' my coffin I'm from West Covina, this ain't Compton Still money passed around like we takin' the offerin' I'm somethin' like a phenomenon When they see the sad happy faces then they know that the drama's on It's the west coast back at your front door We up close and personal, ain't done 'til the curtains close Could be friend or foe, love it or hate it I'm the king but I play with the Aces Run up to find out I keep it loaded like bases Your wire's in your mouth and these ain't braces
Chorus: See I know you like my swagger No strap when I come through Chain hangin' like Ali Baba Know me, you know how I do The way that I move, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) 'Cause I'm too smooth, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) I thought you knew, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) But you ain't got a clue, nigga (ya neva gonna get it)
See when I walk through the door Wonder why these fake niggas jackin' me for On display like I came from a store Posin' like a mannequin in front of your ho Up front block, more than 50 deep now Convicts surround the whole compound 'Cause you don't really want what you're starin' at Clip full of bullets, don't mind sharin' that fact
Chorus: See I know you like my swagger No strap when I come through Chain hangin' like Ali Baba Know me, you know how I do The way that I move, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) 'Cause I'm too smooth, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) I thought you knew, nigga (ya neva gonna get it) But you ain't got a clue, nigga (ya neva gonna get it)
