Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey, what's happening,

All you haters

Should get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm serious

Haters so all I gotta say is

What up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Can get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm still here

I ain't stopping, hey

So what up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Should get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm serious

Haters so all I gotta say is what up

What it is bruh? (bruh)

What it do man? (man)

Still the man from Japan to the blue flames

Still hit the door and make it rain with the loose change

I'll bet that's what he get a show, now that's a damn shame

I guess that's what he hating for, boy you so damn lame (sucka' nigga)

Ya click the same a dusted bunch a walking shit stain

Disgrace the A you give the city such a bad name

You way back in my rear view mirror, I'm in the fast lane

Still I hear ya loud and clear on ya lil' song

Go on get ya dissing on while the King gone

Ya self esteem gone, cause I'm back now

Lets see if we can't teach these niggas how to act now

Ya kissing ass then

Ya jumping back now

I check ya ass then

I shut ya ass down

And I deliver front and center never back down

Who get the last laugh now sucker nigga?

What up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Can get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm still here

I ain't stopping, hey

So what up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Should get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm serious

Haters so all I gotta say is what up

I got a front street swag and a side street hustle

Center Hill Cedar Ave. that's where I be sucker

South Grand church street the first with the work

But we could get into commercial if ya need somethin' chirp me

Hey what I care about who you asking saying they ain't heard of me

I'm certified certainly them videos ain't hurtin' me

I still ride with the window rolled down

All around the A town like it's finna' go down

If it was every any questions niggas finna' know now

Won't retire my thrown or surrender no crown

I never bow down, and never say doubt

To whom it may concern and whom so ever may try

I'm forever west side and the featherweight dies

Tell 'em take ya best shot goin' get yourself hot

Cause I yelled "Bankhead" and you felt left out

I ain't mention yo name that's what all this bout

What up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Can get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm still here

I ain't stopping, hey

So what up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Should get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm serious

Haters so all I gotta say is what up

From Summerhill to the hills up in Hollywood

A house full getting to it you know how we do it

Where we smoke great, and we drink good

Then we ball hard, just like G's should

Buy what we want, drive what we want

G4 up, up and away we go we fly where we want

Haters smile like they like it when they really don't

Wish they could just wish me away that's what they really want.

"I really hate his ass (I hate 'em) I don't like him neither (me neither)"

"We'll do a song together maybe then we could beat him"

"Somehow he must be stopped, something must be done"

"If we can't knock him off lets just try him when he get caught with guns"

"Then he'll be really done, and we really won"

"Any more ideas? (I got some) Suggestions anyone?"

"How about we stay up all night? (I like that) On the blog site"

"Spread vicious lies and nasty rumors we could all write"

But that's all right

Let the nerds hate

Cause in my face though, the words get ate

And hatin's hard work

When I just bounce back

This god's work tell all the haters I'm back

What up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Can get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm still here

I ain't stopping, hey

So what up!

What's happening?

All you haters

Should get at me

Cause I hear ya

And I'm watching

But I'm serious

Haters so all I gotta say is what up
