Now, you know it gets no bigger than these two niggas, Mac Shawn, E-40, Charlie Hustle, 40 Fonzarelli. Nigga, I thought you knew
[Intro: Mac Shawn]
Bitch! Young Daz, Mac'n ass Shawn and Forty Fonzarelli, bitch
It's all about the money in the telly
Gangstas and killers, mob and coke dealers
[Verse 1: Mac Shawn]
Mac Shawn don't play games, I snatch a nigga by his chain
And make him drop to a lesser and kiss the pinky ring
You shouldn't have played with your life and now I really want it
You see, we bigger than smokin' blunts and on the corner
'Cause it's The Mob, The Click, The Gang
I bust rounds, I get down, I'm pound for pound
Two 40 sellin', how you niggas likin' me now?
Pack a Ruger P89, gone on Carlos Rossi wine
Remember that? Nigga, we back, still got money, sippin' 'gnac
Square ass niggas tip your hat
Before I make that ass kiss the MAC
1-1, nigga get done
Cat should've never caught your tongue
Bitch ass niggas work for cops
Now we got to shut your block down
Ya know, all the way down, ya know
[Chorus: Daz Dillinger, Mac Shawn]
I thought you knew (I thought you knew)
But now you know (But now you know)
Don't ever ever come around here no mo' (Uh)
And why's that? (And why's that?)
And why not? (And why not?)
This is our money and we mash for our block (For our block)
I thought you knew (I thought you knew)
But now you know (But now you know)
Don't ever ever come around here no mo' (Uh)
And why's that? (Why's that?)
And why not? (And why not?)
This is my money and I mash for my block
[Verse 2: Mac Shawn, Daz Dillinger]
I'm used to choppers and AKs, stay the fuck out my way
It's that nigga Mac Shawn, one of the bosses out the Bay
Represent cocaine, weed, speed, heron, hop
Ride around town in a Mustang drop
My mug mean, I'm lookin' clean, see pane gleam
Like a white diamond, prince cut
My mackin' is tough in the club and I stay fucked up
Jeweled out, iced out and the Persian leek
Is wrapped tight around the palm
And on my back is a Hawk and I'm raw
Is that what makes me? A hog and star
And my motto from day one was to floss and ball
And ride and side until the wheels fall
And this is for my hogs and all my doggs
And to you sucker ass niggas this for all'a y'all
Motherfuckers
[Chorus: Daz Dillinger, Mac Shawn]
I thought you knew (I thought you knew)
But now you know (But now you know)
Don't ever ever come around here no mo' (No mo')
And why's that? (Why's that?)
And why not? (Why not?)
This is our money and we mash for our block (For our block)
I thought you knew (I thought you knew)
But now you know (But now you know)
Don't ever ever come around here no mo' (No mo')
And why's that? (Why's that?)
And why not? (Why not?)
This is our money and we mash for our block (For our block)
[Verse 3: E-40]
Check it out (BIATCH)
Glasses rarely hangin' off my nose, you under-smell me?
Lookin' through my (Lookin' through your what?)
Brand new Oliver Peoples lenses (BIATCH)
Marbles buried in me and Mac Shawn's grandmama 'nem backyard
On the thingamajig and the cuttalufagus, drawin' interest
Used to hop and hit fences, now we rappin' and scattin' Benzes
Off the hinges, some big time motherfuckers in the business (Business)
Study long, study wrong
I was that Sasquatch pimpin' ass underestimated ass nigga
That most of you square dancin' ass niggas slept on
[Interlude: E-40]
Understand that, ayy, look here, ya under-smell?
Niggas got it all miscombobulated and twisted up
Nigga, we been doin' this, you under-smell that
Since we was knee-high to a fly's eye
My little cousin Mac Shawn, you understand it
And Daz and them
[Chorus: Daz Dillinger, All]
I thought you knew (I thought you knew)
But now you know (Now you know)
Don't ever ever come around here no mo' (No mo')
And why's that? (Why's that?)
And why not? (Why not?)
This is my money and I mash for my block (For my block)
I thought you knew (I thought you knew)
But now you know (Now you know)
Don't ever ever come around here no mo' (No mo')
And why's that? (Why's that?)
And why not? (Why not?)
This is my money and I mash for my block (For my block)
[Outro: E-40, Mac Shawn]
BIATCH, bitch, ya know
You under-smell that?
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, BIATCH
Yeah, don't let the marbles control you, nigga
You know, nigga; you know, nigga
Nigga, BIATCH
You know, nigga
Nigga
You know, nigga
BIATCH!
