I'm not a nuttin' ass nigga just down for my riches I figure it takes About a
million or 500.000 tapes To become officially gold or platinum
status That's why I'm always at this Practise in and out tha studio 24
7 My occupation this is how I make my livin' I get harrassed mostly
everywhere I go Can do my thing without a motherfuckin' popo All up in my
mix cause I'm tryin' to maintain And get a grip light weight fame Born and
raised in tha valley south Vallejo The northern part of Cali, 'bout my
mail Struggle and strive all my life in a world of grief Sucker
motherfuckers wanna knock me of my feet But Imma keep on steppin' and
gettin' bigger I'm not a nuttin' ass nigga

Not to long ago I'm off to the bank to
cash my cheque The lady teller wouldn't give me no damn respect She
started acting hella snotty, kinda prejudiced I guess she didn't like the
way that a nigga was dressed Before I could even get my foot in the door,
right The bitch already had a brother like me stereo-typed Ready to push
the button with no delay I said wait a minute, baby, you mistakin' me for
Andre I'm not a ... rat head wanna be I wouldn't rob a fuckin' bank for
publicity I get it honestly, legally so have no fear I make more in a
week than you do in a year Straight out tha geto, hillside resident Sick
wid it records and tapes, and I'm the president So don't go thinkin' that
every brother is out to get ya I'm not a nuttin' ass nigga

nuttin' ass nigga, just down for my riches
Sometimes my language is
vulgar, lotsa profanity I try not to trip when kids parents be sweating
me 18 and over, that's what you gotta be To purchase my tape and make
sure you got I.D. That's all I can say so mommy and daddy need to peep It
ain't my fault the kids dump it off the streets They hear it at school,
walkin' home and everywhere they go And most of the violence come from
movies on HBO The shit that I be spittin' is real cause I'm real see I'm
out to make a meal, do you feel me Holdin' my own cause I'm grown and
intelligent Try to knock my hustle? That shit is irrelevant
I'm not a
nuttin' ass nigga, just down for my riches
