I'm just another ghetto boy
Single parent upbringing, mama's pride and joy
Dad died 'fore I got a chance to meet that dude
So I was raised in the hood, in the streets I grew
Seen it all, it ain't too much I ain't done yet
Let my nuts hang, n**** I ain't scared of s***
Seen death in my eyes, musta not have been time
Cause I'm the last of this m*********** breed of mine
Yeah and can't nobody tell you no different
The nerve of this m*********** sayin I'm tripping
The nerve of you m************ questionin this
When I'm as real as a realass n**** can get
And I was raised with that g-code imbedded in my blood
And I would rather die than tell on a n**** from my hood
Or tell it on a m*********** period
I take the code to the game that serious
The streets got rules, it's certain s*** you don't do like
Sayin it was me when you knowin that it was you
It's not defamation if what I'm sayin is true
Picked a fight, got beat, now this p**** is tryin to sue
b****, you knowin what the outcome was
f*** with one f*** with all, we were bound by blood
Not the blood of the gang but the blood of James
It's out of love for this n**** we pump slugs in frames
That's the type of dude you're listenin to
Soft to you for a minute then I'm trippin with you
And since you want it with me I'll position them goons
They carry out the order to this mission and boom
Ya out, now what was all this chit-chat about?
A word from the wise, keep my d*** out ya mouth
Apparently I been too lenient on dudes
Cause you n***** done forgot who the streets belong to
I'm the m*********** king, I'm the m*********** mayor
I'm the president, the don, the boss of all players
Remember me, the one you got your idea from?
Well I'm still here, planted on this block I slung
So fresh and so clean, complicated rhyme schemes
You n***** is monotone, ain't no f***** with heat
I'm a m*********** g and if I'm lyin then poof
May the Lord strike me dead in this m*********** booth
I'm the truth, emeritus, the F-A-C
The M to the O to the m*********** B
OG, to the critics a***yzing my s***
Thinkin so-and-so is better, you can suck my d***
Cause it's been 20 years and counting and I still ain't bouncing
f*** the club I'm a true thug, the realest n**** out here
Yeah I listen to them bullshit caps
Or how they so-called shine but that bullshit's wack
Steady on my grind and when I pull this strap
I'ma show you what I mean by "These fools just rap"
Cause I'm just as greedy as the next man is
I see em sellin and then I'ma feed my kids
And it is what it is, you can take it how you want it
m********* who I offend they can meet me on the corner
It don't matter who you is or where you come from punk
When you see me that's the m*********** bell, b****, jump
Cause I'm tired of you n***** disrespecting the great
I am legend, it ain't nobody f***** with Face
My catalog's timeless
I could go on for days and days
Let me count the ways I got paid
It's over when I leave this stage
I'ma turn the page, say goodbye to Face
