This is my motherfucking house, man.

Ain't that some sh*t?

Come on, f*** all that, man.

You're on, dog.

All right, D.

We about to lay you down now, man.

That means we got

So that means don't say no more

Hold on, hold on.

Shelby, you hear that?

Yeah. What is that?

Goddamn.

This day is really starting to f***

with my mode, man.

Hey, man, R.L. Over here?

R.L., look, man, I'm sorry

to disturb you and all.

And I know you and me,

we done had words in the past and

some of them weren't too friendly.

But right now, man, I got some sh*t

taking place in my crib

that just requires a little bit of

silence. You know what I mean?

Now, I'd never demand of you,

I can only request...

...with a gesture of neighborly

friendliness, you know what I mean,

that you please, please consider

the mute button just for a spell, man.

All right, man.

- Stand by, everybody.

- Standing by.

I'm standing by.

With my eyes, I done seen

Some crazy things in the street

Got a couple ho's working

On the changes for me

But I gotta keep my game tight

Like Kobe on game night

Like taking from a ho don't know

No better, I know that ain't right

Done seen people killed

Done seen people deal

Done seen people live in poverty

With no meals

It's f***ed up where I live

But this is how it is

It might be new to you

But it's been like this for years

It's blood, sweat and tears

When it come down to this sh*t

I'm trying to get rich 'fore

I leave up out this b*tch

I'm trying to have things

But it's hard for a pimp

But I'm prayin' and I'm hopin'

To God I don't slip, yeah

You know it's hard out here

For a pimp

You ain't know, nigga

Man, it seems like I'm duckin'

Dodgin' bullets every day

Niggas hatin' on me

'Cause I got ho's on the tray

But I gotta stay paid

Gotta stay above water

Couldn't keep up with my ho's

That's when sh*t got harder

North Memphis, where I'm from

I'm Seventh Street bound

Where niggas all the time

End up lost and never found

Man, these girls take me

Through things

Leave a big headache

I'm hoping every night

They don't end up being dead weight

I got a snow bunny

And a black girl too

You pay the right price

And they'll both do you

That's the way the game goes

Gotta keep it strictly pimpin'

Gotta have my hustle tight

Makin' change off these women, yeah

- Cut it. Cut it.

- What?

Wait, man.

I got another verse, man!

Djay, we need to talk, man.

Look, I just want it to be perfect.

And this mike,

it ain't sh*t.

What the f*** wrong with it?

That sh*t record, don't it?

Djay, the mikes we using, they got

a wider pattern, D. They go flat.

So when you start screaming,

man, they just distort and pop out.

Man, nigga, I don't know sh*t

about none of that sh*t!

All I know is that sh*t

in there was live, man!

And every time I get

my motherfucking mode up,

- you come and f*** with it!

- It ain't me.

That sh*t, it ain't gonna

be live like that again.

I don't give a f*** what mike I'm on!

Djay, that sh*t was live in there,

but it was also distorted, man.

God!

I just don't understand why

I gotta pay so much more money
