ELZhi - Represent lyrics
[ELZhi - Represent lyrics]
Yo what up though ya' listenin' to Elmatic
Fire that weed up and put it in the air, yeah
Represent, represent
Straight up shit is real and and any day
Could be your last when you pass
Your sand has dropped now your
Hourglass in the flash
The corners is where they pitch rock
To move into a rich block
Find somebody up in your crib
You gotta' switch locks
Niggas pull triggers and ditch Glocks
Over things a bitch jock
As sick as a Hitchcock flick
To be a big shot, looks appealing
The life of crooks getting
Money off the books fuck a shook civilian
We took the illing and mistook the feeling
Of climbing to the top
Stay in when you don't know
Where the cops laying
Loaded guns, pop, spraying
Just to get the hands on
Your clock to stop swaying
Enough to cause both of your knees
To drop praying and niggas stop playing
'Cause, I was told to represent
By OG's claiming the D and repping Flint
Pushing old school whips on 20s
They kept in tint
Represent, represent
They call me El
I'm not your legal type of fella
Bong smoker, pipe inhaler
Keep a strong poker
Face, playing my cards right, fuck a case
Cops will run in your place
For hard white, treat you wrong, poke ya
With the night stick
I know these snitches telling in fact
I'm smelling a rat and the
Aroma is quite thick
They shut down your light lick bright quick
Charging you with shit that might stick
Thought you was Frank White slick
The jokes on
All you little niggas with locs on
Counting your figures, downing liquors
Getting your smokes on - representing
For the hood putting your city on the map
Young girls throw they kitty and
They titties on your lap
Catch you slipping while you tricking
Stick the clip in to get paid and leave you
Sicker than that AIDS symptom
They play your man like fools
Feel the heat from the tools
Empty out your wallet take off your jewels
You know the rules
Represent, represent
No doubt, see my stacks is fat
This is what it's about
Before that Ice Cube conflict with MC Ren
Around the time when 3rd Bass
Was dissed by X-Clan
I used to wake up every morning
With my ear in a box
Bumping Rakim, Kane, Finesse, Freddie Foxxx
Then I bought the Nas CD, Biggie's and Pac's
Wu Tang, Jay-Z, Gangstarr and the LOX
Nowadays I need the greening of cash
Just like the next man
Using my mind to make shit move
Just like an X-Man
I'm talking checks, grands, commas and zeros
Growing up
My heroes palm firearms at dineros
Some of them went to jail
Got life in the cell
Others got death, dwelling in Hell
Most of 'em fail
When you laying low and the police
Is hot on your trail
Do you think of suicide or
Are you plotting for bail?
This is words of wisdom from El
Try to rise up above
Keep an eye out for snakes, represent
One love
Represent, represent
Fire that weed up and put it in the air, yeah
Represent, represent
Straight up shit is real and and any day
Could be your last when you pass
Your sand has dropped now your
Hourglass in the flash
The corners is where they pitch rock
To move into a rich block
Find somebody up in your crib

Over things a bitch jock
