Lyrics for We Started This
We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit Ridin' down the strip on a trip in my Ham sandwich Started this shit and I'm gon' finish, yes I am, dammit We gon' slam it down like to hit it, ill shit, it is time For the niggas from Memphis, Tenn', to get deep within How deep? Shit, the devil stay right down the street And why you mad? Them rebels tied a brother by his feet For what? For what? I don't know, they tied him to a pickup truck Then posted up in town like they didn't really give a fuck I get rid of bigots with bad racial equalities Bust back at KK-K's who try to follow me These hollow T's savin' my ass in crucial situations Any other tactics I need, I use imagination A ten steps ahead of yo' ass type of nigga Shit that I already know, you try to figure Give up, quit your ship up, don't try to sail Don't you see we got this shit built up, can't pry a nail In my foundation, my sound makin' too many bump All out the trunk, get 'em crunk, blow blunts and bump chump Ain't no luck, chump, we come intentional with this dope shit Usin' a pen or a pencil back when I wrote this Space age, I feel it percolatin', but all this hurt and hatin' Still keep on bringin' people back to old situations I change the stations, but they playin' the same list We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit Mental battle scars pollutin' my cranium Watered-down fake niggas, I'm drainin' 'em and trainin' 'em Claimin' them Suave House niggas to the dirt, bitch Cross the family and you gon' find yourself gettin' hurt, bitch Peace is all in a nigga mind, it ain't reality Fuck reconciliation, niggas don't want no unity Born dyin', every minute, death is closer to me It's like I'm in a movie, except I'm feelin' everything Pain when another motherfucker try to touch me Anger when a petty playa faker try to fuck me A-B, A-double-L, the fat M-A-C Mice with a mic and I don't think you wanna fuck with me Love head doctors and I don't mean a psychiatrist Bitches with that lip grip tighter than a gorilla fist Pimp shit, when is everybody gonna learn? Pimps and gangstas make the universe turn Poverty with the right amount of hustle turns to riches The wrong situations turn hard niggas to bitches I was born in the war zone, fought for everything I got Learned about my hustle, nigga worked and made my shit hot Hoes started jockin', niggas boppin' like they bitches, too Other niggas mad 'cause they only sold a tape or two Fuck what you heard, nigga, fuck who you be Suave got the hook up 'cause Suave got the cheese We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit We started this shit and we gon' finish this shit Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah A new millennium, baby Space age, baby Psychadelic, baby You know what I'm sayin'? Suave House It's goin' down, space age Space age, baby Don't ever stop, baby Go on, baby Hard like Space Age Flintstones, baby Ain't no stoppin' Old drones still droppin' Embarassments still poppin' Fake-ass laws still stop it Fuck them motherfuckers This shit rolls on, baby, like brownies, baby This shit don't stop, it ain't gon' never stop, baby This shit go around like the world, baby This shit thick like hide, one more time
