Now I'm a nickel to a quarter and a quarter to a dollar
Talk of the town had a neighborhood holla
Like yo, what up what up what up
I hope you're going for the cash-flow
Now I'm a nickel to a quarter and a quarter to a dollar
Talk of the town had a neighborhood holla
Like yo, what up what up what up

[Verse 1]
Remember those girls in school with the jodeci boots
They was a couple grades older but they thought we was cute
Me too, trying to be the man back then
Reciting classic records like Eric B and Rakim
Knew to words to Paid In Full like the back of my hand
Little league quarterback, I wore number six
Them single digit numbers looked better on this
Jersey, break out the huddle offense
Back home you lost the ball and you jumped over the fence to get it
And hop back over before the neighbors start tripping
Try to tell these girls what car you gone be gettin'
When you got older that's the house that you gone live in
What, blue 32 say hut it gets good
It's like we both grew up
The same girls there from last school year where cute but
I'm trying win the game, huh
I'm searching for the finals
At the mall front just talking say hay but
We was only asking you for whatever the time was
Like baby do you know what time it is
Like can I get your number and I'll call you after this
Yeah, she said yeah
Than we went to homecoming the beginning of the year
I was kinda fitted, I was in the latest gear
And my parents taking pictures like that's what I'm sposed to wear
At the dance slow jams is what these girls wanna hear
Can you play it
Yeah I got it I can play it
We all threw our hands up like we are graduated
And we all made sure they can hear us when we say it

[Verse 2]
See we was skating rink legends at like eleven or twelve
My brothers friend at Foot Locker
Used to cut us a deal on 'em
Until they squealed on 'em
He ain't steal nothing, no
He was selling Mikes the weekend before they was sposed to drop
They called 'em moving boxes
Out of the stock
Grew 'em on the camera
It wasn't a lot to him
But you can bet
He ain't show up the next day
And back then, see that was around the time me and SK
Was selling them fake chains that we had got from the swap-around
I dropped a lot of lines on like mines that was like mine
That chain shine and you can sell it every time
Momma, gave me a couple dollars
Pops got me the avorex so I could flex
Mix that with the change from me selling chains
Sit back, we making melons swell
Tryna think of things how we think of things
Always said no second-guess
You stressin'
You should be timing your progression
Especially if nickel and diamond is your profession
