E-40

Im not a nuttin ass nigga, just down for my riches, I figure it takes
About a million or 500.000 tapes
To become officially gold or platinum status
Thats why Im always at this
Practise, in and out tha studio 24-7
My occupation, this is how I make my livin
I get harrassed mostly everywhere I go
Can do my thing without a motherfuckin popo
All up in my mix, cause Im tryin to maintain
And get a grip light weight fame
Born and raised in tha valley south Vallejo
The northern part of Cali, bout my mail
Struggle and strive all my life in a world of grief
Sucker motherfuckers wanna knock me of my feet
But Imma keep on steppin and gettin bigger
Im not a nuttin ass nigga
Im not a nuttin ass nigga, just down for my riches
Not to long ago Im off to the bank to cash my cheque
The lady teller wouldnt give me no damn respect
She started acting hella snotty, kinda prejudiced
I guess she didnt like the way that a nigga was dressed
Before I could even get my foot in the door, right
The bitch already had a brother like me stereo-typed
Ready to push the button with no delay
I said wait a minute, baby, you mistakin me for Andre
Im not a ... rat head wanna be
I wouldnt rob a fuckin bank for publicity
I get it honestly, legally so have no fear
I make more in a week than you do in a year
Straight out tha geto, hillside resident
Sick wid it records and tapes, and Im the president
So dont go thinkin that every brother is out to get ya
Im not a nuttin ass nigga
Im not a nuttin ass nigga, just down for my riches
Sometimes my language is vulgar, lotsa profanity
I try not to trip when kids parents be sweating me
18 and over, thats what you gotta be
To purchase my tape and make sure you got I.D.
Thats all I can say so mommy and daddy need to peep
It aint my fault the kids dump it off the streets
They hear it at school, walkin home and everywhere they go
And most of the violence come from movies on HBO
The shit that I be spittin is real cause Im real see
Im out to make a meal, do you feel me
Holdin my own cause Im grown and intelligent
Try to knock my hustle? That shit is irrelevant
Im not a nuttin ass nigga, just down for my riches
