Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Yeah
Come experience, life as we know it
As some of you should know [G]it,
[Am]yeah, yeah
Place, Marcy, Brooklyn

[Verse 2]
Actions, well, y'all know the actions
[Am]
Uh, I got this shorty on my block
always clocking my rock[G]s
He [Am]likes the style and profile
I think he wanna mock
[G]He lik[Am]es the way I walk,
[G]he see[Am]s my money talking
To honeys hawkin I'm the
[G]hottest [Am]nigga in New York and
I see his hunger pains,
I know his blood boils
[G]He wan[Am]na, run with me,[G]
I [Am]know this kid'll be loyal
[G]I wat[Am]ched him make a few end[G]s,
[Am]to cop his little sneake[G]rs and g[Am]ear
Then it's [G]just enough for re- [Dm]up a[Am]gain
I see myself in his eyes,
I moved from Levi's
To Guess to Versace,
now it's diamonds like Liberace
That's just the natural cycle,
nobody wanna be like Michael
Where I'm from,
just them niggas who banned from a gun
We out here trying to make
hard white into cold green
[G]I can[Am] help shorty blow
[G]out [Am]like Afro- Sheen
[G]Plus I c[Am]an relive my days[G]
of [Am]youth [G]which is [Am]gone
[G]That lit[Am]tle nigga's peeps,
[G]it's tim[Am]e to put him on

[Verse 3]
It's time to come up (and hold my own weight,
defend my crown)
Gots to lock it down and when they
[G]rush [Am](stand my ground)
It's time to come up (stick up my chest,
and make some loot)
Gots to lock it down and when they rush
(stand on my own two)

[Verse 4]
I'm out here slinging [Am]bringing
the drama
Trying to come up in the game
And add a couple [G]of dollar
[Am]signs to my name
I'm out here serving disturbing the peace,
life could be better
Like my man re[G]clined
in plush leather [Am]seats
He's selling weight,
I'm [G]selling [Am]eigh[G]t, balls[Am]
[G]Six[Am]teen trying to gradu[G]ate
to [Am]pushing [G]quarter[Am]s y'all
[G]I ain[Am]'t gon' sweat him I'ma
[G]let him [Am]come to [G]me
[Am]If he gi[G]ve me th[Am]e nod th[G]en[Am]
these [G]niggas gon' [Am]see
I'm tired of being out here
'round the clock
And breaking [G]day,
[Am]and chasing crackers up [G]the block [Am]for my pay
[G]I'm sta[Am]ying fresh,
so [G]chick[Am]ens [G]check
[Am]I'm trying [G]to step [Am]up to the [G]next [Am]level,
[G]pushing [Am]'Vettes to the Jets
Diamonds reflect from the [G]sun,
[Am]directly[G] in yo[Am]ur equili[G]briu[Am]m[G]
[Am]And stunned I[G]'m waiting
[Am]for my day to come
[G]I got[Am] the urge[G], to s[Am]plurge,[G]
[Am]I do[G]n't wanna [Am]lifeti[G]me s[Am]ente[G]nce
[Am]Just give [G]me the word
[Am]It's time to

[Verse 5]
come up (and hold my own weight,
defend my crown)
Gots to lock it down and when they
[G]rush [Am](stand my ground)
It's time to come up (and stick up my chest,
and make some loot)
Gots to lock it down and when they
rush (stand on my own two)

[Verse 6]
Hey fella I been [Am]watching
you clocking
(Who me holding down [G]this [Am]block
it ain't nothing)
(You the [G]man nig[Am]ga now
[G]stop [Am]fronting)
I like your style
(Nah, I like yo' [G]style)
Let's [Am]drive around awhile
(Cool nigga) here's a thou'
(A G? I ride with [G]you
[Am]for free)
(I want the [G]long [Am]term [G]riches [Am]and
[G]bit[Am]ches)
Whoa, now listen to me
[G]You let[Am] them other niggas get [G]the name[Am],
skip [G]the fame
[Am]Ten thou' or a hundred G[G] k[Am]eep
yo' shit the same (on the low?)
Yeah, the only way to blow
You let [G]your shit [Am]bubble quietly
[G](And then [Am]you blow!) hey
keep your cool
The only way to peep [G]a fool
[Am]is let him show his hand
Then you play your cards
(Then he through dealing
I understand)
Don't blow your dough on hotties
(The only thing I got in this [G]world is [Am]my
word [G]and [Am]my nu[G]ts)
[Am](And won't break [G]em for
[Am]nobo[G]dy!)
Ha, I [Am]like resume, [G]pick [Am]a day,
[G]you can [Am]start[G][Am]
[G](From now un[Am]til [G]death
do [Am]us part)

[Verse 7]
It's time to [Am]come up (and hold my own weight,
defend my crown)
[G]Gots to [Am]lock it down and when
they rush (stand my ground)
It's time to come up (stick up my chest,
and make some loot)
Gots to lock it down and when they rush
(stand on my own two)

[Verse 8]
It's time to [Am]come up (and hold my own weight,
defend my crown)
[G]Gots to [Am]lock it down and when they
[G]rush [Am](stand my ground)
It's time to come up (stick up my chest,
and make some loot)
[G]Gots to [Am]lock it down and when they rush

[Outro 1]
(stand on my own two)
[Am][G][Am]
