1 Step Ahead of Yall

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo, Ski, man, how your throat feeling, G? Not too good, man, not too good Not too good, huh? Yeah, you seem to always pull that bullshit every time we wanna do something funky, you know what I'm saying? But yo, I got some salt water and vinegar for you, you Know what I'm saying? Yo, gargle this. Feel better? Yeah, I'm cool Well, kick it [Verse 1] Yo, it's on, but motherfuckers don't hear me, though I've been paying fucking dues since '84 So you can't tell me shit The industry is full of motherfuckin' crabs in a bucket I learned the hard way But those punk motherfuckers will have a terrible price to pay 'Cause they all about money tryna burn a nigga That's why I keep my fucking hand around the gun trigger I'm not the one to go out like a punk bitch That's why I didn't sign a record deal too quick But they kept on bugging me Asking a nigga when he's gonna drop a LP When I'm getting ready, ho Niggas that got major deals still ain't in the door No promotion and you're crying for a hit A 30 G budget, motherfucker, that won't make it Talk about selling out, huh That ain't enough money to make you stand out You got a handout, they knew you were gonna take it You say you're getting paid, punk nigga, you're getting played Or you're getting recognition for real For recognition, you won't pay the fucking bill So I lay low and watch 'em fall, bitch 'Cause I'm one step ahead of y'all [Interlude] Yo man, that shit was hard as fuck, you know what I'm saying? But yo, what we gonna talk about now, man? Well, let's see, let's talk about these think-they-doing-it rappers, you know what I'm saying? Let's kick it on 'em Go for it [Verse 2] Yo, it's kinda funny all these niggas I done worked with That came up and don't have nothin' to show for it Yeah, they look real good in the public eye Still riding the bus, smoking dank and drinking St. Ides But I see right through that Why they do that, 'cause it's the thing to do, black But they can't fool me, huh They only started doing it when they're hangin' with a clique, see And why those niggas fall 'Cause they scared as fuck to make they own goddamn calls So they try to play the role Buying second-hand shit thinking we respect it Yeah, only for the money, huh The power of God will make you feel like a damn dummy So I kick on back and let you talk all that shit While you get played like a puppet Nobody equals to you, that's what you think, punk But scared as hell that the E&C will excel We're a threat, taking over, you can bet And motherfuckers ain't seen shit yet 'Cause the way I see it, niggas are fadin' Lyrics weak, production downgradin' Need some help? Give me a call 4-2-5 (Ayy nigga), oh, I forgot, one step ahead of y'all [Interlude] Yeah, nigga, you almost slipped on giving out that number, nigga But I ain't trippin', 'til after the song, you know what I'm sayin'? But yo, what we gon' talk about next? Let's talk about that punk nigga that tried to diss Go for it [Verse 3] Ah yeah, time's up, motherfucker, if you're tryna gank My production is solid as an armor tank So keep jockin', in other words, be jealous, bitch I hope you understand I ain't the one to be fucked with I keep something in the chamber I did a show to let 'em know I had to fuck you with a clothes hanger You ain't showin' me, love, huh Talk shit real quick, but then can't even back it 106.1 better back you up But come to the streets, boy, you get fucked up I'ma serve you real well Notice how I said "well"? Wish him farewell You assumed that a nigga tried to diss you But didn't come to the source to see if it was true So now I don't give a fuck I'm throwin' lefts and rights to your motherfuckin' guts And whoever else tries to diss Niggas that know me know motherfuckers can't fade this I gives a damn about a mark bitch nigga You get smaller while my rep get bigger So if you see me and I flip up my middle finger It's 'cause I'm tired of talkin' to these black niggas 'Cause they waitin' for a nigga like me to fall But oh, never, motherfucker, 'cause I'm one step ahead of y'all [Outro] Yeah, I wanna give some shots out to my motherfuckin' E&C family Y'all motherfuckers are down, you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah, I wanna say fuck all the motherfuckin' rappers that don't think I know what time it is with your punk ass Keep on thinkin' you're doin' it, bitch I'ma watch you fall flat on your ass like a fuckin' brick I'm out
