Kept sparkin' them 
All heads aint help,

We squashed that war, 
Got some wall,

Down in Iraq, they give me dap,

You shake my hand like a grown man (grown man) 
Ya aint see it like Tony and old man, 
Mob-style ferreal, 
This is my life-style ferreal.

If you could look at me now 

[Verse 3] 

...Now its big buisnesses, 
You see them big bentley-skids 
You see them Bee's on those shiny-ass 
Rims of his, 
You can't find him in the woods, 
With his kids with his 
Mob cookin breakfast with no S.W.A.T. 
A good day this is. 
You could bull-shit with rap if you want, 
I pull the bull-shit to the back 
And put rap in front. 
Now I'm State-Prop flickin' it 
State-Prop stitchin' it. 
I'm paper soldier yall, 
Your boy gettin' rich 

I see a kids hair -knotty now.. 
They nose -snotty now 
So what I do, 
I try to turn they frown around 
I make 'em smile a day 
If only for a -while a day 
I give them dollar-day 
That's my ghetto -holliday 
I must say for myself 
I'm feelin proud today, 
My life is shaped 
Like I run about a mile a day 
I dedicate this to the one's that 
counted me out 
And looked at me down 
Just look at me now. 

[speaking] 
I know yall see me 
Look at me now man 
I'm killin this shit 
Sheed, check your boy out man 
Your boy got buisnesses man 
I done came up on my own nigga 
I'm a ceo nigga 
Clothing line... cartoons, movies, name it nigga 
Bullshit with rap if you want, 
...I'm a big-boy-toy driver nigga 
with unlaced airforce 1's with no license- 
Holla at me nigga. 
Yall can't tell me shit,
