[Mannie Fresh Talking]

Yo, This Fresh [echoes]

For you [echoes]

Bout to Freak, The Run D-M-C beat, Ya hoids?

Holla!

[Chorus (Baby yellin in the background)]

I ain't never had nothin (oh yeah), I'm tryna get somethin (believe that there)

And where they slang them thangs at, where yo ass duckin? (where you at nigga)

I ain't never had nothin (smell me bitch), I'm tryna get somethin

With them people on my back (holla nigga, nigga) but I gotta keep duckin

(Mannie Freezy!)

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin (let's, get feezy)

And where they slang them thangs at, where yo ass duckin?

(Suga Slim never love me like stone me boy motherfucker)

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

With them people on my back but I gotta keep duckin

[Verse 1]

I started from a rock, then move to a chip

Nowadays I'm the Birdman bitch

I ain't never had nothin that share the same dish

We jumped off, we share the same clip

We share the same clothes, whole block wore out shit

Ghetto fab, that ghetto shit

It's that, ghetto map with ghetto tip

You never touch nothin that belong for you slick

We never had nothin so we run for this shit

Breakin-in houses and sellin these bricks, and these

Public houses, it's goverment bullshit

Four and a half tryna cut well for our shit

They tearin down our project(gun pops)bust-yo-clips

Look in ya eyes, see nothin but bitch, when you

Look in my eyes, see these hardlife shit

We ain't never had nothin, I don't stunt till I die bitch!

[Chorus]

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

And where they slang them thangs at, where yo ass duckin?

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

With them people on my back (aye, aye, aye, aye) but I gotta keep duckin

I ain't never had nothin (alright), I'm tryna get somethin (beyotch!)

And where they sell them thangs at (oh yeah), where yo ass duckin?

(Holla atcha boy nigga!)

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

With my people on my back but I gotta keep duckin

(Birdcall motherfucker!)

[Verse 2]

Nigga, we had tore down nights

Me and my brother had tore down bikes

Just his tore down life, nigga smoke and fight

Choke the pipe, youngstas bust for stripe

Ain't got new jewels, ain't got no life

Nigga, caught the blues when his part called lights

See I, been in yo shoes, lost memos on crews

And I, paid my deuce from scramblin blues

And I, laid my rules from cookin these fools

And these, fucked up time in seventy-two's

And I, learned to grind in eighty-two's

And I, learned to shine in ninety-two's

And I (gun pops), bust my nine in twenty-o-two

Now tell me what the fuck I'm suppose to do

I'ma ball like a dogg, so nigga fuck you!

You ever crossed my line, you know what I'ma do bitch

[Chorus]

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

And where they slang them thangs at, where yo ass duckin?

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

With them people on my back but I gotta keep duckin

I ain't never had nothin (oh yeah), I'm tryna get somethin (beyotch!)

And where they slang them thangs at(holla atcha boy), where yo ass duckin?

(ha, it's our world baby, promise sucka)

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

With them people on my back but I gotta keep duckin

(aye, aye)

[Verse 3]

We walk up to bread, no meat, marinade (Fuck!)

The whole block share a dozen our eggs

The whole hood had one nigga was craze

Mom smoked that shit she had to pay

Old folks know lil' one was bust his hage

Heroin, coke, and dope fuck with his head

Bout to flip the script come out today

Wild Tato, C-To, ball today

Hot cake see a fresh know how to play

Other side had my homie had to lay

Big Chief, real from the concrete streets

Nigga was on the labor and wanted to eat

Shit-a-never get better, love is merry

Tall house, survive and duck the inneries

Nice cars, clothes, pussy hoe, money and fame

Every motherfucker in here know my name

I was born then live y'all niggas (believe that bitch!) banned in

That's why I stunt so fuckin much

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

And where they slang them thangs at, where yo ass duckin?

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

With them people on my back but I gotta keep duckin

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

And where they slang them thangs at, where yo ass duckin?

I ain't never had nothin, I'm tryna get somethin

With them people on my back but I gotta keep duckin

[Mannie Fresh Talking]

This Fresh [echoes]

For you [echoes]

[Man Talking]

Yo this the real Magnolia, worldwide ya heard me?

I'm just chillin up in the studio with Mannie Fresh and the Birdman

Yo we goin out, ya heard me, with this great hit

Yo, I'm chillin with Seed and Stone, Bizzy

I'm thinkin about my boy Towe too

But Big G, R.I.P. man, we love you [echoes]

[beat fades]
