[Hook]
Make me a beat
For the streets, church houses and the barbershops
Make me a beat
For the streets, church houses and the barbershops
[Verse 1: Timba]
Hold up - have they forgot about we nigga?
They couldn't walk a mile in these 501 jeans nigga
From the projects to the pyramids nigga one day
This **** sound like soul food in mamas kitchen on Sunday ..Lawd
Niggas was hot, I got caught with the fams
Instead of bein the playa, I got played by the game
Look I'm from da city by the bay
Where niggas can't read and write so they good at holdin Ks ..Lord
Uncle earl taught me to pop my colla
So if I die nigga bury me in that 96 Impala
That street **** will get you caught up
Stop pimpin when you get a daughter
Hit the liquor store before da sideshow
Lemme slide or somethin on E-one - foe
Some niggas live or die by the gun
Niggas on 22s and didn't make it to see 21
Ugh, we didn't make it to see 21
Niggas on 22s but didn't make it to see 21
[Hook]
Make me a beat
For the streets, church houses and the barbershops
Make me a beat
For the streets, church houses and the barbershops
[Verse 2: Jamal Malik ]
My heartbeat like 15s in that Crown Vic
6 12s in that box Chev
Plum Impala year 96
North Face smell like spray paint
Rolling blunts out that loud zip
For my real ones at that churchhouse
Rocking gold grills
While they reading script
First time I learned drive stick
Burnt a clutch up at candlestick
I was out the window at slideshows
Cross the bridge to e14
Around the time
Was on the school hoop team
We wore suit and tie like we
Headed to court
When you jump off the porch
With a drive like a porsche
But don't make it in sports
I burned down the casa I'm Jamal Malik
Found a goddess to court
Long as she cultured and smart
With some love in her heart
And steer clear of them ports
Ain't it so true that we need art
To even spell heart?
This here for every Oscar grant
In a black hoodie that ever rode Bart
Excuse me while I'm finding chi
When I'm smoking tree
With my buttersworth
My name be Jamal Malik
Aka Jesus Shuttlesworth
[Hook]
Make me a beat
For the streets, church houses and the barbershops
Make me a beat
For the streets, church houses and the barbershops
