OJ da Juiceman - Da Beginning lyrics

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement
Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it
Cash and them my brothers
Stayed down like the pavement
Loyalty over royalty, and it's fuck you
Pay me

Made the trap "aye", but I didn't get paid
Tried to work me like a slave
But I had to shake and bake
I know they was super fake
But I was super straight
Yeah, that fish it helped me
Ate, uh, bills paid late
Uh
House by the lake, uh
I know they gon' hate, uh
Brand new paper plates, uh
Bricks like real estate, uh
In a better place now
Diamonds shining right now
Wrist like bling-blaow
Move it with a snow plow

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement
Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it
Cash and them my brothers
Stayed down like the pavement
Loyalty over royalty, and it's fuck you
Pay me

Zone 6, Bouldercrest, this is where I'm from
Still at the the time I had a very large bond
Focused on rappin'
Tried to leave the streets alone
2008 when I finally struck gold
Zay did the drum, but I got it out the bowl
Started from the bottom
You know how the story goes
One foot in, one foot out
I'm just tryna make it out
Keep birds in a drought
Had to go another route

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement
Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it
Cash and them my brothers
Stayed down like the pavement
Loyalty over royalty, and it's fuck you
Pay me

Remember I was trappin' hard (Hard)
Trap left me scarred (Scarred)
Met up with Zay, then I started goin' hard
Dropped the tension on deck when
I got from behind bars
Early 2000's, had dope-boy cars
Produced a lot of superstars
DJ Andre right there playin' my songs
Time to hit the stage
Best believe I'm throwin' ones
Everythang On Me was my first hit song

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement
Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it
Cash and them my brothers
Stayed down like the pavement
Loyalty over royalty, and it's fuck you
Pay me
