Yo, what up dough? |

Y'all listening to Elmatic |

Straight up, shit is real, and any day could be your last when you pass |
| [00:23.54] |
Your sand has dropped, now your hourglass in the flash |
| [00:26.05] |
The corners is where they pitch rock to move into a rich block |
| [00:28.80] |
Find somebody up in your crib, you gotta switch locks |
| [00:31.30] |
Niggas pull triggers and ditch Glocks over things a bitch jock |
| [00:34.55] |
It's sick as a Hitchcock flick |
| [00:36.17] |
To be the big shot looks appealing, the life of crooks |
| [00:38.90] |
Getting money off the books, **** a shook civilian |
| [00:41.10] |
We took the ill and then mistook the feeling, of climbing to the top |
| [00:44.41] |
Staying when you don't know where the cops laying |
| [00:46.35] |
Loading guns, pop, spraying |
| [00:47.92] |
just to get the hands on your clock to stop swaying |
| [00:50.54] |
Enough to cause both of your knees to drop, praying niggas stop playing |
| [00:53.47] |
|
| [00:54.24] |
cause I was told to represent |
| [00:55.74] |
by OGs claiming the D and repping Flint |
| [00:58.43] |
Pushing old school whips on 20s that kept a tint |
| [01:01.46] |
|
| [01:02.84] |
Represent, represent |
| [01:04.27] |

| [01:10.57] |
Represent, represent |
| [01:12.57] |
Yo, they call me El', I'm not your legal type of fellow |
| [01:15.13] |
Bong smoker, pipe inhaler, keep a strong poker- |
| [01:17.19] |
-face, playing my cards right, **** a case, cops will run in your place |
| [01:20.75] |
for hard white, treat you wrong, poke ya |
| [01:22.94] |
with the nightstick, I know these snitches telling, in fact |
| [01:25.19] |
I'm smelling a rat, and the aroma's quite thick |
| [01:27.50] |
They shut down your light, lick right quick |
| [01:29.38] |
Charging you with shit that might stick |
| [01:31.38] |
Thought you was Frank White slick, the joke's on |
| [01:33.63] |
all you little niggas with locs on |
| [01:35.32] |
counting your figures, downing liquors, getting your smokes on, representing |
| [01:37.84] |
for the hood, putting your city on the map |
| [01:40.90] |
Young girls throw they kitty and they titties on your lap |
| [01:43.46] |
Catch you slipping while you tricking, stick the clip in |
| [01:45.96] |
They get paid and leave you sicker than that AIDS symptom |
| [01:48.65] |
They play a man like fools feel the heat from the tools |
| [01:51.34] |
Empty out your wallet, take off your jewels, you know the rules |
| [01:54.08] |
Represent, represent |
| [01:56.40] |
|
| [02:01.15] |
No doubt, you see my stats is fat, this is what it's about |
| [02:04.15] |
before that Ice Cube conflict with MC Ren |
| [02:06.33] |
Around the time when 3rd Bass was dissed by X-Clan |
| [02:09.21] |
I used to wake up every morning with my ear in a box |
| [02:11.90] |
Bumping Rakim, Kane, Finesse, Freddie Foxxx |
| [02:14.55] |
Then I bought the Nas CD, Biggie's and Pac's |
| [02:17.11] |
Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, Gang Starr and The LOX |
| [02:19.73] |
Nowadays I need the green and the cash just like the next man |
| [02:22.48] |
Using my mind to make shit move just like an X-Man |
| [02:25.05] |
I'm talking checks, grands, commons and zeroes |
| [02:27.30] |
Growing up, my heroes bombed firearms at De Niros |
| [02:29.73] |
Some of 'em went to jail, got life in a cell |
| [02:32.55] |
Others got death, dwelling in hell, most of 'em fell |
| [02:35.21] |
When you laying low and the police is hot on your trail |
| [02:37.90] |
do you think of suicide or are you plotting for bail? |
| [02:40.21] |
This is words of wisdom from El', try to rise up above |
| [02:42.90] |
Keep an eye out for snakes, represent, one love |
| [02:46.21] |
