[Pre-Chorus: Blxst]
They think it's sweet I had to pave me a way
Blame it on my city, that's what made me this way
I gotta jump off the porch and touch the pavement today
But I bet I'll make a killin' 'fore they take me away
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus: Blxst]
Before it's all said and done
They gon' know that we the ones
(They gon' know that we the ones), yeah, yeah
Before it's all said and done
They gon' know that we the ones
[Verse 1: Dame D.O.L.L.A.]
I should probably rock eleven, I'm one of them ones (One of one)
Touchin' M's and seen everything under the sun
I was bred by some shooters, a son of a gun
Now it's money for fun, bringin' it in by the ton
But I'm humble (Humble), the whispers and the mumbles use to eat me (Eat)
I'm raised in the jungle, made me beasty (Uh)
You and Doughty use to tell me we was goaties on the weekly (Coach)
Mama job trippin', stress loaded off the treathy
I'm the kind of man to lead his people to the promise land (Promise land)
By any means, the hoop, rock, if not contraband
We come from towels on the counter dryin' pots and pans
And if you not the man, then you support, don't try to stop the man (Nah)
Love for free, what my daddy discussed with me (Pops)
I'ma get my shit off, if ever they fuck with me (Ever)
It's a reason why I move with no effort and comfortably
And they gon' see why we the ones 'fore it's done if it's up to me, uh
[Pre-Chorus: Blxst]
They think it's sweet I had to pave me a way (Yeah)
Blame it on my city, that's what made me this way
I gotta jump off the porch and touch the pavement today
But I bet I'll make a killin' 'fore they take me away
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus: Blxst]
Before it's all said and done
They gon' know that we the ones
(They gon' know that we the ones), yeah, yeah
Before it's all said and done
They gon' know that we the ones
[Verse 2: Tree Thomas]
I put that on my mama
Before it's all said and done, they gon' know that we the ones
We be up before the sun, need property for my son
Can't settle for seconds so we in the gym playing ones
Born in the war, how you scared to load your gun?
Raised in the jungle, shit, so we couldn't run (We couldn't run)
I'ma see these lines everyday so they gon' get me face to face
These n***as think this shit a race
I'm joggin', they hands on they waist
Too many died so I can try, so I'ma let this go to waste
Nothing sweet about this past
Less passion, it lack the taste
My city made me this way, yep
Really thought we'd give up
Get precedence from Thriller but for down to Covid killers
Get a shot, I'm Reggie Miller, yeah
Deep up in that East, it feel like water (Water)
Drowning, we was kickin' but feet caught up, yeah
Really had to breakaway (Yeah, yeah, yeah) like DF to steel
Now she think my pants breakaway when she see my steals
I'm just tryna keep it real (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Interlude: Dame D.O.L.L.A.]
I bet you've never seen yo' mama fight
I knew my time was coming way before the time was right (Uh)
That shit she put up in my heart was really dynamite (Dynamite)
My cousins always said we got it, now we got it, right? Right
Real soldiers (Soldiers), youngest and the oldest (Dang)
Quick to show you love but still see you from the shoulders (Shoulders)
They don't got the cloth they had to use for them to mold us
Bang Oakland heavy just for all the things it showed us
9800 wild, do it for the squad (Squad)
Make excuses, nah, n***a, I'ma do the job
If it's do or die, usually I ride, shit I'm fly
Felix Mitchell, Huey P., you better know the ties
This the vibes, yeah
Real Oakland (Oakland)
Pull up on a n***a, what you smoking?
Dodo foreigns boomin', be ashes in the open
Foot up on the gas, moving fast, never coastin'
And you know I stay with cuz like we loccin', uh
[Pre-Chorus: Blxst]
They think it's sweet I had to pave me a way (Yeah)
Blame it on my city, that's what made me this way
I gotta jump off the porch and touch the pavement today
But I bet I'll make a killin' 'fore they take me away
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)
[Chorus: Blxst]
Before it's all said and done
They gon' know that we the ones
(They gon' know that we the ones), yeah, yeah
Before it's all said and done
They gon' know that we the ones
(They gon' know that we the ones)
