I never knew that a kid like me 
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D. 
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas 
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo 
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work 
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word 
I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around 
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town 

We rep. the South, so what you talking about 
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt 
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you 
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do 
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new 
Many were called, but the chosen are few 
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot 
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got 

b-section: 
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene 
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 
I know you know, I see you smiling at me 
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 

chorus:
