Slums
Lyrics
We represent the slums, alright

Let's get this motherf**ker crunkin' from Kentucky to Baghdad
Ya pops was always gone but that didn't make him a bad dad
We still managed to eat, and come to think wattn't half bad

Bummy, if I put it out, sucky, if I pull it out
Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
And I ain't playin' witcha'll haters since y'all fucked up my order
Shakin' up this rap shit, givin' niggaz hell for real
Got me playin' with a gram, coulda been up to a quarter
Represent the slums, represent the slums
Represent the slums, represent the slums
Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
Now my cousin called me up and said he finally did it
But Doug was always on us 'bout the things that we never had
Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
Graduated from a handheld, to primary digits
That's where you break it down to raw and then you flush the rest
We still managed to eat, and come to think wattn't half bad
Represent the slums, represent the slums
Cool is what I choose to be, but that ain't what I used to be
Slum for a while now, country for a lifetime
I said you break it down to raw and then you flush the rest
Now whattchu know about that work from the states of Georgia
Hell with a blue light, fuckin' with no rules tonight
Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
Represent the slums, represent the slums
These cowards tryna catch me like my hustle got a flaw
Let's get this motherfucker crunkin' from Kentucky to Baghdad
Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
Some mo' had murdered my granddad over real-estate
In case I feel my insides burnin', musta swallowed all twenty-eight
I'm drinkin' Milk of Magnesia, but still I ain't feelin' straight
'Cuz in the slums we don't work we just grind and gamble
Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
Guaranteed I got that shit, niggaz dyin' to sample
Turn a hold the dog deal, mucus and you hearin' right
Now once again, you see me layin' down the law
Ohh me, ya better kick it out, or ya livin' in a haunted house
Done heard my momma cryin' if I knew what I know now
Did what you couldn't do, difference between me and you
We in the slums
Represent the slums, represent the slums
Songwriters: Melvin Adams, Ryan Anthony, James Chambers
I'd pro'ly have to greet the party room with the fo' pound
We represent the slums, alright
Muddy waters couldn't drown a nigga, bloodhounds on the trail for real
Bitch I'm Southern bred
Cook so thick, collard, grits and water
Represent the slums, aww, aww, aww, aww
Represent the slums, represent the slums

Ya pops was always gone but that didn't make him a bad dad
I'm tryna keep my head on straight to keep me from catchin'
Hissin', I'm finna strike, rattlin', I'm finna bite
National Geographic ain't, fuckin' with this wildlife
Done seen too many folk down, some put the soul down
Now I was born in Oakland better known as the Cold Town
Ran what you tried to run, came how you tried to come
