Claimin' True

Outkast

Well it is I the pimp playin n***a that you heard about

Yeah I got the money and a half a million d**e houses

I got the hookers on the go and playa rhymes that I f**k with

I buy amps that pops my trunk swift

I've been a player since the age of two

That's when I learned to walk grab my crotch talk

Do how them h*e sellers do

See born and raised as a pimp that's what I claim to be

Always claimin true to what I do and then f**k what I see

I pledge allegiance to the streets that's where I growed up

And make my money 'cause my daddy never showed up

But f**k it I'm on my own I'm in my zone

And nothin wrong you don't belong you left me standing alone

Yeah I'm the n***a with the feather in my hat

Finger waves and snake skins s**t I got all that

But you ain't know I'm the one dippin and dodgin bullets

The price you pay when you behind it steady tryin to pull it

So Dolemite Dolemite not s**t I studied the Mack and Rudy Ray Moore

They were my idols when I was a kid

From nappy head greasy face eatin watermelon

To d**g dealer armed robber now to big felon

repeat 2X

I wonder how you would react if you was in my shoes

I put in work and did the dirt that's how I payed my dues

Uh 1 2 3 that's how it be

So all the real n***az step up like the playas that's in back of me

All heavenly Father why do you even bother watchin over me

Growin up a little G my mama thought I'd grow to be

A lawyer or a doctor but I felt like comin harder

Packed a shank up in my socks when I started kindergarten

This ain't no secret garden so you fly when n***az flee

If it is one of my own I'm lettin the trigger be

'Cause I got love for any n***a who got love for me

And then I get a slap of dap when I'm slangin quarter keys

Just tryin to make it then of age come through take it

I ain't forgot about y'all women who be workin n***az butt naked

At Magic City shakin titties just to pay the rent

Lord tryin to hustle must be somethin that was heaven sent

But I ain't got no sense that's what I got them thinkin

I think about payback strap myself and keep on dankin

'Cause I be takin the rough side of the mountain

If you cross my path I'll leave you drainin like a fountain

Yes it's been like that since way back in 1975

Been taught to hustle with muscle and even try to strive

So little botty bwoy better say your prayers

You better learn some street sense before somebody lay ya

repeat 4X
