So niggaz better get up outta mine
Put Compton on my back when you in need of soldiers
I took the bullets outta 50 put 'em in my fo'-five
I told Dre from the gate "I'd carry the heat for ya"
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
For I creep and turn your projects into Columbine
When you had that little TV, you had to hit on to get a picture
Now it's an Auggie shirt and my coat
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
First mixtape song I inherited beef for ya
Mad at us 'cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend
I handle mine just like a real nigga should
I thought it would change it's stayin' the same
I took 30 off a pack and made them sales
We the best on the planet so forget the rest
I had the whole crowd yellin', "Free Yayo"
And it seems your lil' rat turned out to be a mouse
My momma wit me when she found my pieces
And I'm rap's MVP
At my last show I threw away my N.W.A. gold
For a four finger ring, one of them gold ropes
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
You know I'm still nice with my cook game
From the beginnin' to the end, losers lose, winners win
In the club 'til they coughin' on the rug
This is real we ain't got to pretend
Woke up the next mornin', niggaz had stolen my bike
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
Confusion occurs, comin' up in the cold world
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
Don't make me remind y'all what happened in D.C.
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
And maybe that'll even the score
How many of them boys is witcha'?
I wanna live good, so shit I sell dope
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Never listen if I see him I'ma lift 'em
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
My favorite rapper used to sing, "Check, check out 'My Melody'"
With that lil' deuce-deuce and my triple fat goose
Comin' up I was confused, my mommy kissin' a girl
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Who gave the West coast mouth-to-mouth?
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
As a youth, man I used to hustle for loot
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
Let me show you what a thug 'bout I'm born to die
And I ain't even got my feet wet yet
If I can move a few packs I'd get the hat, now that'd be dope
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
My boy just got poked in the throat
Look man, it's a hood thang that's why I'm loved in Brooklyn
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
Bad enough they want me to choke
The cold world that we in is full of pressure and pain
If I do some time homey, I'm still all good
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
Ain't never had much but a Walkman and a bud
This beef shit is for the birds and the birds fly South
I'm walking with a snub, 'cause niggaz do a lot of slick talkin'
Different day, same shit, ain't nothin' good in the hood
Nana told me if I passed I'd get a sheepskin coat
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
I look back on life, thank God I'm blessed
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Go 'head envy me, I'm rap's MVP
Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
I started out at 15, scared as hell
This nigga ain't Gotti, he pretend
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
Gritted my teeth for ya, G-G-G-G for ya
Even Young Buck can vouch, when the doubts was out
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
My role model is gone snortin' up his drug
Daddy ain't around, probably out committin' felonies
I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could
Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
Sippin, 'Easy Jesus', rockin' a leases
But if not, it'll be me on the floor
A seven figure nigga who ain't seen a royalty check
Now I'm speedin', reminiscin', holdin' my weed in
And I ain't goin' nowhere, so you can get to know me
And I'm gon' shine homey until my heart stop
