Da Beginning - OJ Da Juiceman

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement

Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it

Cash and them my brothers, stayed down like the pavement

Loyalty over royalty, and it’s fuck you, pay me

Made the trap «aye», but I didn’t get paid

Tried to work me like a slave, but I had to shake and bake

I know they was super fake, but I was super straight

Yeah, that fish it helped me ate, uh, bills paid late, uh

House by the lake, uh

I know they gon' hate, uh

Brand new paper plates, uh

Bricks like real estate, uh

In a better place now, diamonds shining right now

Wrist like bling-blaow, move it with a snow plow

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement

Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it

Cash and them my brothers, stayed down like the pavement

Loyalty over royalty, and it’s fuck you, pay me

Zone 6, Bouldercrest, this is where I’m from

Still at the the time I had a very large bond

Focused on rappin', tried to leave the streets alone

2008 when I finally struck gold

Zay did the drum, but I got it out the bowl

Started from the bottom, you know how the story goes

One foot in, one foot out, I’m just tryna make it out

Keep birds in a drought, had to go another route

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement

Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it

Cash and them my brothers, stayed down like the pavement

Loyalty over royalty, and it’s fuck you, pay me

Remember I was trappin' hard (Hard)

Trap left me scarred (Scarred)

Met up with Zay, then I started goin' hard

Dropped the tension on deck when I got from behind bars

Early 2000's, had dope-boy cars

produced a lot of superstars

DJ Andre right there playin' my songs

Time to hit the stage, best believe I’m throwin' ones

Everythang On Me was my first hit song

Started with Zay, coming up out the basement

Zay did the drums, young Juiceman slayed it

Cash and them my brothers, stayed down like the pavement

Loyalty over royalty, and it’s fuck you, pay me
