Claimin True Lyrics

    [big boi]
    Well it is i, the pimp playin nigga that you heard about
    Yeah, i got the money and a half a million dope houses
    I got the hookers on the go and playa rhymes that i fuck with
    I buy amps that pops my trunk swift
    I've been a player since the age of two
    That's when i learned to walk, grab my crotch, talk
    Do how them hoe sellers do
    See born and raised as a pimp, that's what i claim to be
    Always claimin true to what i do and then fuck what i see
    I pledge allegiance to the streets, that's where i growed up
    And make my money cuz my daddy never showed up
    But fuck it, i'm on my own, i'm in my zone
    And nothin wrong, you don't belong, you left me standing alone
    Yeah, i'm the nigga with the feather in my hat
    Finger waves and snake skins, shit, i got all that
    But you ain't know i'm the one dippin and dodgin bullets
    The price you pay when you behind it steady tryin to pull it
    So dolemite, dolemite not shit, i studied the mack and rudy ray moore
    They were my idols when i was a kid
    From nappy head, greasy face, eatin watermelon
    To drug dealer, armed robber, now, to big felon

    Chorus: repeat 2x

    I wonder how you would react if you was in my shoes
    I put in work and did the dirt, that's how i payed my dues
    Uh, 1-2-3, that's how it be
    So all the real niggaz step up like the playas that's in back of me

    [dre]
    All heavenly father, why do you even bother watchin over me
    Growin up a little g, my mama thought i'd grow to be
    A lawyer or a doctor but i felt like comin harder
    Packed a shank up in my socks when i started kindergarten
    This ain't no secret garden, so you fly when niggaz flee
    If it is one of my own, i'm lettin the trigger be
    Cuz i got love for any nigga who got love for me
    And then i get a slap of dap when i'm slangin quarter keys
    Just tryin to make it, then of age, come through, take it
    I ain't forgot about y'all women who be workin niggaz butt naked
    At magic city, shakin titties just to pay the rent
    Lord, tryin to hustle must be somethin that was heaven sent
    But i ain't got no sense, that's what i got them thinkin
    I think about payback, strap myself and keep on dankin
    Cuz i be takin the rough side of the mountain
    If you cross my path, i'll leave you drainin like a fountain
    Yes it's been like that since way back, in 1975
    Been taught to hustle with muscle and even try to strive
    So little botty bwoy better say your prayers
    You better learn some street sense before somebody lay ya

    Chorus: repeat 4x
