The Return

Ayo I never banged, and through it all, never changed my name
 They used to call me Young Blu, before the fame
 Like my cousin Smurf, heard about a OG who used to run the turf
 Then he got merc'd
 Puttin' in work with the Blacks when the Browns was beefin'
 I got my grief in after school with the chicks grievin'
 Like "Blu, thank god that wasn't you", ayo
 One week later, they got my homeboy too, ayo
 Dang, my cousin used to tell me, "Boy watch for them colors.
 Other than that, you be the illest mothafucka"
 So I pushed to the streets, I pushed to the beach
 End up pushin' more raps than I ever pushed trees
 I had beats from the best
 Just to make it known, I was a beast from the West
 Tryna get put on with the Snoops and the Games
 The Cubes and the Pacs
 Next thing you know they bangin' Blu on the block
 My nigga, bang, bang!
 When the times get hard in the streets, niggas bang
 When them right bars sit up on the beat, niggas bang
 When niggas sling cocaine all day to make change
 Niggas bang, niggas bang, niggas bang-bang
 Tryna tell ahk, "Watch where you walk", niggas bang
 When that spark set fire to that heart, niggas bang
 From the rollers to the lames, ain't a damn thing change
 My niggas bang, niggas bang, bang-bang
 Now back up on the block, rap shit locked
 Pocket full of money, no crack in my socks
 Shouts to the homies in jail with no bail
 And props to the homies that blow but don't sell
 They be like "Oh well, more room for the real"
 Popped a fake in the face for actin' like I can't tell
 Yeah it feels off but in the hood, I know it ain't
 Should be smellin' all good, but, I know it stank
 Tell the homie hold the shank while I blow that dank
 Roll the streets with that cannon like we rollin' tanks
 Unh, gold plates ho, I know they gon' hate
 Might as well get the gold plaques, and the platinum chains
 See me when you see me, 'til then, kiss the genie
 Spell G, me, you could never be me, believe me
 Put the CD on smoke, fuck P's and the hoes
 And them niggas talkin' 'bout they shit bang when it don't
 My nigga, bang, bang
 When the sun is here you realize you go fly and tryna see her [?]
 Screaming try as you lose your voice just tryna be her [?]
 No stranger to the game, but you can't seem to relieve her
 You'll see her, when the morning comes
 When the times get hard in the streets, niggas bang
 When them right bars sit up on the beat, niggas bang
 When niggas sling cocaine all day to make change
 Niggas bang, niggas bang, niggas bang-bang
 Tryna tell ahk, "Watch where you walk", niggas bang
 When that spark set fire to that heart, niggas bang
 From the rollers to the lames, ain't a damn thing change
 My niggas bang, niggas bang, bang-bang
 Ayo, next thing you know, I'm in the county
 With a whole bunch of real OG's surroundin' me
 What you do when your name's Blu
 And you run into a Crip, a Cholo, a Piru?
 And everybody wanna know on the coast, what set you claim
 All my life I had that name, but never banged
 I'm from the Bridge, my folk from the 4th
 East side to the dro, and all the way back home, let it be known
 I got love for my block, love for my color
 Love for my streets, and love for my brother
 But a nigga put his hands on me, we catch fades
 Fuck I look like? 30, gettin' jumped in a gang
 And my peeps say, "How you keep peace these days
 If you ain't got a piece by your reach these days?"
 I say, my nigga, when you victim to the system
 It don't matter what you do, they always fuckin' with you
 So just bang, bang
 When the sun is here you realize you go fly and tryna see her [?]
 Screaming try as you lose your voice just tryna be her [?]
 No stranger to the game, but you can't seem to relieve her
 You'll see her, when the morning comes
