I was on the block when the homie sack flipped (Flipped)

I was right there when the homie got rich (Rich)
I was wearing the fade when the homie had the braids (Braids)
I was right there helpin' homie with the plays (Plays)
I was in position because I would never hate (Hate)
Now it's my time, and I'm gon' throw it in your face

[Verse 3: Boogie]
I was on my bag and that just put me into shape (Uh)
'Cause I was givin' way to be the one that motivates (Uh)
I was in the hood when that shit happened in the gates
No, let me stop, 'cause shit that's still an open case, uh
I can't do no leash with it
Most my women free spirits
So-and-so, "How he hit it?"
Fuck it, I'm gon' remix it, bitch
'Cause I'm a deep feelin', lease livin'
Weave stricken, wish I seen different
But I couldn't, I done had it bad
Niggas tryna get all my shit (Get all my shit)
You must be thinkin' you slick (Thinkin' you slick)
You owe me rent for half a year
You tryna live on my dick (Live on my dick)
And if my oppers catch me sloppy, see me slippin' and shit (Slippin')
Just write a sentence on my grave, say, "This nigga was lit"
Remember

[Chorus: YG]
I was on the block when the homie sack flipped (Flipped)
I was right there when he got his new whip (Whip)
I was with a six-piece, he had a cool bitch (Bitch)
I was right there when the homie got rich (Rich)
I was wearing the fade when the homie had the braids (Braids)
I was right there helpin' homie with the plays (Plays)

YG

Keenon Daequan Ray (Motherfuckin') Jackson, professionally known as “YG,” short for “Young Gangster,” is a rapper and songwriter born and raised in Compton, California. He usually works with the equally famous producer, DJ Mustard; both from the same Blood (Gang) sect – the Tree Top Pirus. He met Nipsey Hu$$le often in his gang days, and eventually hung out and began to rap with him.

YG is currently signed to Def Jam Recordings, as well as CTE World after befriending Jeezy. Both record labels, as well as Pu$haz Inc (formed by YG, Ty Dolla $ign, and DJ Mustard) released My Krazy Life, in 2014. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum in April 2017.

In 2016, YG released his sophomore album, Still Brazy, which peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200. The album discusses his paranoia after being shot in 2015, his fame and success, and his political opinions. The album spawned three singles, “Twist My Fingaz”, “Why You Always Hatin?”, and the controversial, but popular and impacting “FDT (Fuck Donald Trump)”. In 2018, YG released his third studio album, Stay Dangerous, supported by the singles “Suu Whoop”, and “Big Bank”, the latter being YG’s highest charting solo single on the Billboard 100, peaking at #16.
