Proof, T3 of Slum Village, Mudd (5 Ela) - Slum Elementz lyrics

It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life
It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life

Yeah I stepped out the background
When my nigga Dilla left
Didn't see the full picture
Maybe just a rough sketch
Didn't know the dude for real
They knew a silhouette
Small portion who I was when
I turned and looked back


Had a few tools, had to learn to work that
Plus they cut a nigga out
Say I wasn't worth jack
The trials of your man, I'm not complainin
I'm sayin the truth y'all
Exactly how it's layin
So when you see me don't think it was easy
Things wasn't fair to me, your man T Threezy
I had to work to eat, I wasn't supposed to be
I did a flow like boats on seas
Now I'm the captain of my own destiny
I stand at the edge of this shit
Control my fleets i rearrange things that
Could've remained bleak
Cause you ain't doin the same
Don't mean you should hate me

It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life
It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life

Damn, it's hard hustlin with your crew
When you the head of your troops
And dudes don't wanna grow up
Attitude is so what
Nig's out here killin 'em
Dude's draggin his feet
I ain't got time to deal with him
Look at the time Thyme
How many years it's been
Since we moved back from Brooklyn?
You lookin sorry dawg, pardon
Me I'm your mans, this ain't no diss
But, I don't see no good in you
If you don't handle yo' biz
Yo' angle is, is bored and stubborn
Quick to say fuck whoever and
Still want somethin for nothin
Streets talked about your loose lips
Remember when Proof flipped
Threw a cassette tape at you
You ain't do shit
Exactly, I woulda been scrappin
If that was me
When the Feds came to swoop you
Turned your back on T
I ain't sayin you snitch but your
Actions are smellin like fish
You still smackin your bitch
Too old to be actin like this man chill

It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life
It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life

I ain't tryin to find no blame
Or make excuses
I figured y'all slept so long
I'll wake the rooster
I love Hip-Hop and just makin music
In the "8 Mile" flick I
Was portrayed as Future
On the set I was due
Where's the rest of my crew
For the movie, this is truly our destiny dude
I'm like Shady is my team, maybe it's a dream
It seems I'm bein choked like Radio Raheem
P knew it when G-Unit all got deals
Imagine a muscle have to hustle
That's why it feel
I'm walkin out of different
People office still
This ain't a diss, this is just talkin real
Toy soldier, wonderin how they coffin feel
My homie put me on 'em but
I got up off them pills
Got a boss appeal, you can call me mouthy
But ask 'em all how where the fuck
What they'd be without me - Proof

It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life
It's however, it's whatever you like
If you think a nigga tryna get ahead of you
Then you right
I see the envy and I guess it's aight
Cause you never have the balls to
Take a step in your life
