~Static~ "Quik you're not a gangster we're not" ~Static~ 



Some believe in love and some believe in friends 

But niggaz like me believe in making ends 

Cause even when your bitch wants to trick around 

You know the moneys got you safe and sound 



Now i'm bout to take it back to 84 when I was 14 

Kickin back in the trees 

Westside if you please 

And 436 west spruce was the spot 

With me Wayne  Mike  Shot  Nookie  Slug, and Rock, 

Donzelly if ya with me than let that shit kick 

If your head ain't spinning from dippin all them sticks 

Cause way back in the day they used love a wet baggie 

Screaming "HORALE ESE" with them laces on a caddy 

And you could'nt deny 

A hit from that buddah tye 

Going round and round the driveway 

Now it's coming my way 

And i'm zoned out at a young age 

And the whole spruce street was my stage 

Peep now back then I was in the 8th grade steady 

But niggaz my age was getting paid already 

Yeah like that nigga Zam or even young Blue 

They made they first million by the age of 22 

Like Dan from Cedar block him and little Motor 

James from Piru street with them boulders 

Rest in peace little Noopy he did'nt have to brag 

Rollin to the 10 grade in a fint 0 rag 

Well Goddamn how can I be down? 

I ask my sister Jack for some help and she told me look around. 

Nigga they don't sell dope it sells itself 

While they kickback and just collect the wealth 

And now i'm thinking ain't nothing fly about these dirty ass khakis 

T-shirt dingy, prowings tackie 

This could be a way to flip that little funky twenty dollars that I earned 

Right then is when I learned that 



(chorus) 

Some believe in Jesus 

some believe in Allah 

But niggaz like me believe I'm making dollars 

Cause even when yo niggaz want to be untrue 

You know the money's still good to you 



Yes Yes 



Some believe in love and some believe in friends 

But niggaz like me believe in making ends 

Cause even when yo bitch wants to trick around 

You know the moneys got you safe and sound 



Peep I gets a dub on the 1st and 15th for a fact 

So instead of spending it up I gave my money to Jack 

Now she jump in the regal and said i'll be right back 

When she came in she put me down with a plastic sack 

I turned my 40 into 80 and that was my profit 

I'm keepin my rocks in the house and not in my pocket 

Sister Jackie in the kitchen with some boiling water, baking soda, 

Fresh powder, baby bottles, making more boulders 

Checking a fat grip slanging rocks to tricks 

Donzelly dippin sticks went and bought um a 6 

And 500 block peach running thangs ya see 

Moving gallon after gallon and key after key 

I'm telling you I done seen it all 

From niggaz hitting the sherman and the passout on the wall 

From cluckers wanting a hit so bad they let there panies fall 

Teeth rotten hair gone, 

and whole checks get blown 

But then i'm still breaking these pebbles like bam bam 

Saved them, splitting rocks, 

to the um tic toc 

I went from wearing khakis to Sergio Teccini 

While my rocks is disappearing like the great Whodini 

I bought a gang of clothes, all of my equiptment 

And getting somthing new with each and every shipment 

Money gets made and money gets spent 

and how these jealous niggaz acting only makes it evident that 



(chorus) 

Some believe in Jesus 

some believe in Allah 

But niggaz like me believe I'm making dollars 

Cause even when yo niggaz want to be untrue 

You know the money's still good to you 



Yes Yes 



Some believe in love and some believe in friends 

But niggaz like me believe in making ends 

Cause even when yo bitch wants to trick around 

You know the moneys got you safe and sound 



Check now in 1988 I moved away to L.A. 

My niggaz Playa Ham and Gina gave me a place to stay 

On my way up from bottom rock 

Bitches starting to jock 

Cause my hair is getting longer 

And games getting stronger 

To pull my on weight I went and got me a job 

But by then Ham and Gina really started to squab 

About weather I should go or stay 

She told him either he goes or you go we both was on our way 

So he moved and took me with him on 2001 Browning, 

clowning with playas all around me just astounding 

My nigga pimpin Carl got staring with that hair an 

Rolling up and down the street in that rag 7 with Darren 

Shaby blue feathered as he swerved 

In the El Co p-6 park away from the curve 

Big Jam L.A Mike, Darryl, Nicki on the bike 

That nigga Top, Big Shane, and Tweed rolling up the weed 

And hoes just come and go in and out 

Revolving door leaving with some nut in they mouth 

I'm making a living of pimpin so you fools can't trip 

Cause even though I love God I also love my grip 



(chorus) 

Some believe in Jesus 

some believe in Allah 

But niggaz like me believe I'm making dollars 

Cause even when yo niggaz want to be untrue 

You know the money's still good to you 



Yes Yes 



Some believe in love and some believe in friends 

But niggaz like me believe in making ends 

Cause even when yo bitch wants to trick around 

You know the moneys got you safe and sound 



(talk box) 



oooooooooooooo,ooooooooooooooooooo yeah 

safe and sound yeah 

safe and sound baby 

ooooooooooooooo,ooooooooooooooooooo yeah 

safe and sound yeah 

safe and sound 

gotta let you knoooooow 

gotta let you knoooooow

Comptons in the house
