I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
Or get up, get out and get somethin' nigga
Extraordinary figures, I'm an extraordinary nigga
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
If you owe me ten dollars you ain't givin' me nine
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy
Uh, here comes the bad guy again
Before I sang I had that thang on slippers
I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
You know what this type of shit can do to a nigga moms
It's twice as hard to get a job as payin' 'em
So I ain't payin' attention to what you're sayin'
I ain't waiting for life to start portrayin' em
Wire my friends through Western Union
When Jena Six don't exist
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
Can't complain 'bout what they ain't gon' give ya
So I got my glock 40 now I'm cool
You wish you had the balls to fire back
Secretly though, I know you admire that
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
Nobody do that where we grew at, nigga duh
'Member dark-skinned Jermaine
I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
Who swayed in the rain, we sorta kinda the same
The poverty line we not above
Constant in the drop, all flames
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
We ain't doin' crime for the sake of doin' crimes
Say hello, uh uh, hello, uh uh, hello
I ain't no ordinary nigga
'Cept, I'm no lame and you gonna know my name
I'm so hot even if the weather change
You wish you had the balls to fire back
If you tell me our schools gon' be perfect
Say hello, uh uh, hello, uh uh
I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
Only God can judge him, only he without sin
Tell him that's when I'll stop sayin' bitch, bitch
Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy
Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy
Here comes the bad guy again
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
Somebody give him the word and tell him I don't approve
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
We movin' dimes 'cause we ain't doin' fine
I don't have no top, I'm insane
I ain't playin', life's short so I aim
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
They sayin', I'm a bad guy, why's that?
Before my name became Jigga
That ain't gon' get ya shit, might as well give up
'Cause when my back's against the wall, nigga I react
I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
One out of three of us is locked up doin' time
'Til then, I'm just gon' fly in the Benz
Raindrops keep fallin' on my brain
We ain't thugs for the sake of just bein' thugs
Before I go the world gon' feel my pain
I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy
And if Al Sharpton is speakin' for me
They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy
Tell him I remove the curses
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy
They say I'm a menace, that's the picture they paint
Get a job my nigga or get to dumpin'
I come from the bottom but now I'm mad fly
Y'all ain't give me 40 acres and a mule
Say hello to the bad guy, they say I'm a bad guy
They say I'm a bad guy, say hi to the bad guy
Look around, this ain't what ordinary gets ya
Shh, suprisin', my system knockin'
So I come to mask and gloves 'cause we ain't feelin' the love
Let me tell you what I ain't
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
My mind on my money, money on my mind
They say a lot about me, let me tell you what I ain't
Tell me if my means justified my ends
