[Bridge:]
It's been a long time comin
A lot of dope runnin
Hustling tryna dodge des cases
You niggas been telling
Da streets been beggin
So I had to go back 2 Da basics (INE)

[Verse 1:]
Dis Da intro of my life
The entrance of my world

Posted up on da corner
Movin dat marijuana

Hollin out u don't want it
