Salute

Fix your motherfuckin' face, nigga
 Look at these fuckin' chimpanzees
 Bunch of fuckin' monkeys
 I been shot, I been stabbed, I took all that I have to give
 And I never ran, never have, just so all you niggaz can live
 I never thought there would come a day
 When my people would turn me away
 And it really tears me apart 'cause I deserve a Purple Heart
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga, you should salute me
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga, you should salute me
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga you should salute me
 I, I showed you what a soldier's about, nigga, you should salute me
 Typical Joe Budden shit, ridiculed and lovin' it
 The hood know I'm the dude that governed it
 Paved the way for my sons, laid down the cement for my semen
 Ain't my fault y'all got stuck in it
 Lately, it change like the weather, one minute they love me
 Then they hate me, I'm through with shenanigans
 I don't care if dudes ain't a fan of him
 Can't checkmate a 8-figure nigga with the moves of a mannequin
 Talkin' 'bout they wan' go somewhere to meet me
 Man they just wan' go somewhere to meet me
 Easy don't involve cops in it, got the key to my city
 How the fuck you think you got locked in it? Bitch
 21 Rugers on the hip of 21 goons, 21 gun salutin'
 Bloody funds is what murder money becomes
 21 bodies on all 21 guns
 You from the D and you don't fuck with me, you lame
 The streets and the internet fuck with me the same
 So later for that punk shit 'cause nigga I'll smoke you
 That's why they say I stay on that blunt shit
 Niggaz'll spray you up before they wet your lady up
 Then shoot the baby bassinet to shut your baby up
 And I'm in line with the bread
 I hold niggaz down doin' time in the feds, Pharaoh talk to 'em
 I been shot, I been stabbed, I took all that I have to give
 And I never ran, never have, just so all you niggaz can live
 I never thought there would come a day
 When my people would turn me away
 And it really tears me apart 'cause I deserve a Purple Heart
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga, you should salute me
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga, you should salute me
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga you should salute me
 I, I showed you what a soldier's about, nigga, you should salute me
 Properly greet a general
 I'd have to take steps down to be on a pedestal
 I am what the 1-8 after the 7 do
 Give it my all but you want more, you lil' beggar you
 Mean it's terrible, I showed hip-hop anyone's edible
 Never give somethin' that's not respectable
 Never spit somethin' that's not incredible
 Never sold my soul for numbers left of the decimal
 I done fucked up movements like cerebral palsy
 You don't know me, don't pause me, I'll throw lead at you
 Mean I earned every stripe and you know it
 When you see me put yo' hand on yo' head and push it forward
 Before shots land on your head and push it forward
 Eastside Long Beach, I'm only pushin' four words
 I organize a street massacre
 You haters know I broke bread with at least half of you
 Out of town, hundred pound weed trafficker
 Got niggaz rockin' Long Beach fitteds in East Africa
 I been stabbed, I been shot, a imperfect part
 Like my Grape Street niggaz I got a Purple Heart
 I kill your bitch at the beauty salon on Windham
 They take a nap on your lawn on a Louis Vuitton pillow
 Waitin' for you to run out and say somethin'
 Come out your face frontin', dumb out and spray somethin'
 Bloaw, so move now
 I been shot, I been stabbed, I took all that I have to give
 And I never ran, never have, just so all you niggaz can live
 I never thought there would come a day
 When my people would turn me away
 And it really tears me apart 'cause I deserve a Purple Heart
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga, you should salute me
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga, you should salute me
 Nigga, you should salute me, nigga you should salute me
 I, I showed you what a soldier's about, nigga, you should salute me
