They say they care about the man

Well, hey hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Hey, hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Well, hey hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Hey, here I stand

Old school like the Rams in California

New school like, «Why you back in California?»

Dues are paid off and I don’t flaunt the credit

All I want, what is rightfully mine with no edits

Old school, off the stairs to pull-ups

I’m a square to a pimp, but never when I pull up

Young Ruby Deezy, blowin' big treezy

Reppin' these locals, don’t trip, be easy

Make papers, no favors for you fuckin' haters

We off hiatus, to the show and tell 'em, «See you later»

Off the bench before the 6 wasn’t popular

I shock the drop and drove a Phantom to the opera

I keep my word, they never doubtin' all my promises

I drink for dolo, so the alcohol’s anonymous

I speak for dolo, I’ma always know what time it is

I got 'em locked in, I’m old school, Simon Says

I take their mind on a memory of Gregory Hines

I spit her just a little game, works every time

I take a note of every symbol seen in every sign

Sincerely Evidence, my fingerprints on every line

They say they care about the man

Well, hey hey, hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Well, hey hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Hey, here I stand

I’m in this Rolls Royce wishing on a star

Buying Booker’s at the bar, giving muthafuckas BARS

New school like Tesla

This beat is like the key to the vault with all the treasures

I’m off the one, I hit the boom on every measure

Accumulate material, releasin' all the pressure

I’m not for rudeness, I’m strict off Smooth

Operator, Big Daddy Kane, cookin' up some new shit

Uh, we used to do it in the park

Like Bruce, can’t start a fire without a spark

This gun’s for hire, spit it to the metal through the wire

And tryin' to see if I can die before the day that I retire

Focused daily, coastal like Corpus Christi

Far Westy, I grew up in an ocean city

Bay city, godmothers feed 50

I get Tha Liks—Tash, J-Ro, E-Swifty

That’s all nifty, 130 proof whiskey

I mean bourbon, man, I’m just an alkie earnin'

Adult swimmin', fast cars and fast women

Another lap and we just passed in the beginning

They say they care about the man

Well, then, hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Well, then, hey, here I stand

They say they care about the man

Hey, here I stand

You’re a rest haven for hoes

You’re a car thief, a car thief

That one you got out there is probably hot as a firecracker right now

It was 35,000 dollars, 35,000 dollars cash money

35,000 dollars plus one, right?

The one I gave you

No, you gave me six, though, right?

I had it when it was six

And now 35,000 plus one plus six is seven

35,000 dollars is seven, right?

Muthafucka, can you buy that?
