DJ Khaled, We The Best season has returned!

[Hook: Akon]
I don't care what nobody say (Say) I'ma be me (Be me)
Stay hood, stay raised on the streets (Cause I'm out here grindin)
Niggas talk about greatness
Whenever they speak about me (Cause I'm out here grindin)
I ain't splittin nothin with nobody
Homie, I gotta get me me (Cause I'm out here grindin)
I ain't slept in eight days, I can go for eight weeks
Ain't nothin to me cause I am the streets

[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
Put my life on the line, but I'm likely to grind
I'm on top of the game, fuck if you like it or not
That's how I get the freaks, strawberry Swisher Sweets
You'll be dealin with H, when you dealin with G's
Now she deal with the realest, shoppin like it's still December
Diplomat on the fender of the Phantom, I'm the winner (winner)
I do it for the hood (hood) I do it cause you cain't (cain't)
You suckers wish you could, Ricky Ross is in the bank

[Verse 2: Plies]
Hey Feds, heard you're bringin my name up
Know you want me bad, think I give a fuck? (Think I give a fuck?)
Better indict me now 'fore my price go up
Came in the world thuggin, leavin with big nuts
Yeah I run with killers homie, so what?
What you want me to tell you, I sold a lil dust?
Send your informant, I bet he leave bust
I ain't scared to go, I believe in Jesus

[Hook: Akon]
I don't care what nobody say (Say) I'ma be me (Be me)
Stay hood, stay raised on the streets (Cause I'm out here grindin)
Niggas talk about greatness
Whenever they speak about me (Cause I'm out here grindin)
I ain't splittin nothin with nobody
Homie, I gotta get me me (Cause I'm out here grindin)
I ain't slept in eight days, I can go for eight weeks
Ain't nothin to me cause I am the streets

[Verse 3: Lil Boosie]
I wake up to get my cake up, I'm Alton Brown
What can I say? I'm a product of my environ'
Uh-oh, I'm in the game, watch me do me
Kickin these niggas, Khaled man, call that Bruce Lee
Summer, winter, spring, I can't forget the fall
I still remain a dog, a diabetic and all
All I want is my paper, I don't care what they say
They stick they tongue out when they bow they head
Cause we the best

[Hook: Akon]
I don't care what nobody say (Say) I'ma be me (Be me)

Homie, I gotta get me me (Cause I'm out here grindin)
I ain't slept in eight days, I can go for eight weeks
Ain't nothin to me cause I am the streets

[Verse 4: Ace Hood]
Aye, knock knock, yeah, I'm knockin on the bank do'
300 million dollars and I'm droppin off the cash flow
See ya ain't heard I hit a lick, now my money right
Spend it on the U-Haul, dippin on the turnpike
Call up my dawgs (Dawgs) rag on my face (Face)
Bodies gon' fall (Fall) tell 'em it's Ace (Ace)
If I catch a charge nigga, I'ma flee the state
Hit my niggas L.A. Reid and Khaled, watch me beat the case

[Verse 5: Trick Daddy]
You niggas fly, before, you was just maggots
I'm the shit bitch, because I'm black flaggin
Yessir, the DR the new sqaud
You niggas Mod Squad, we go hard
They like, "Oh God, there go T-Double
He got his clique and his brothers, I know it's gon' be trouble"
Dark boys on the black Jags
See 'em in them black masks, now they can't stand my black ass

[Verse 6: Lil Wayne]
Hahahaha, and we are the best
And Weezy be the shh like two H's after S
I got these niggas on shh like I gon deaf
And I'm right right, and your wrong left
Hahahah, check out this bizarre
I am regularly irregular
Khaled best DJ, Weezy best rapper
If Khaled say it's a movie, then Weezy best actor

[Hook: Akon]
I don't care what nobody say (Say) I'ma be me (Be me)
Stay hood, stay raised on the streets (Cause I'm out here grindin)

Homie, I gotta get me me (Cause I'm out here grindin)
I ain't slept in eight days, I can go for eight weeks
Ain't nothin to me cause I am the streets
