Lyrics
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
I'm doin' this one for the hotel, motel, Holiday Inns
Super 8 Rev and the Ritz-Carltons
All my niggas who tryin' to ball, my niggas ballin'
All my soldiers and generals, everybody fall in
Stop stallin', pick up the phone and call in
Tell your boss you ain't gon' make it to work in the mornin'
And while you explainin', go 'head and throw a coffin
And kindly explain that this won't happen often
But I'm lost, and I'm amazed, I'm bewildered and dazed
Outraged that niggas think that Derty don't need a cage
I should be put on display, for the display I'm displayin'
Half you niggas are dyin', and all the rest are decayin'
I'm doin' tramps in hotels, steady rockin' girls' belts
Kind of like a young L residing in Nellyville
I never squeal, not the type to kiss and tell
But if I catch you in the shower, I might kiss your tail
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Now as I blast off, Q-Beezy writin' movies
Told 'em take that mask off
Moselito up in your number from his ass off
I got every whip dirty, even got a Nascar
And you know we fucked up every car
Hey yo my radar reads maps in Japanese
Clap at G's, smack 'em back on they knees
Drop on wax, simple facts that rap needs
And it's always Christmas in rap trees
(And I got my game) I said I got my game from the O.G.'s
Smokin' reefer, moonshine, poppin' O.D.'s
Bought an old Plain Jane, yo you know me
Shipped it from Cali, got it home, copped some gold D's
Yo we smashed the summer
Pre-order recoup, call NASA to do the numbers
All the fresh is from the vocals, start a fire in the booth
Got more whips and chains than Amistad and Roots
Ali I'm sick of ballin', unnecessary phone callin'
Man down, pimp in distress, I think I'm fallin'
For anything but the okey-doke
I'm old school like herring bones and dookie ropes
I can't stand them groupie folks
They want me to turn around like this is hokey-poke
They want to break me down like herb before I choke
I'm not a joke at all, I'm Quick Draw McGraw
And number 20 on the Lakers couldn't hold me y'all
I'm climbing over y'all, I'm still scorin'
85 Percent of y'all are awake but still snorin'
Got knowledge of self, and now my style is much older now
We Derty E-N-T, we all we got, we hold it down
I'm feelin' cooler than cool, my wrist colder, wow
If there's a fashion king, then I deserve the crown
I'm U-City, you dressin' up, I'm dressin' down
And you keep messin' up, me and your girl gon' be messin' around
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Ayo I'm fresh out the gate, from the Lou with a Grammy in my resi
Nelly bought me a presi with a diamond in the bezzy
Tix taught me how to walk, so when I run I be ready
Female fans sayin' that I'm they baby daddy
Whoa, more attention than Justin and Janet
How Midwest swangin', how St. Louis rammin'
Derty E-N-T damn it, got more bread than a sandwhich
And my wrist got more nuggets than Carmelo and Camby
Look, I'm from the Lou and I'm important like the art
So tourists look for me like an important part, shoot
Find your talent, use your talent, get your money
Or don't find your talent and don't use it and stay bummy, booch
But that ain't on me 'cause we built it from scratch
My next shit is a house with a house in the back
Man I've been wild since middle school, I was that little dude
That been around more waistlines than hula hoops
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
Yo we be high mayne, fuckin' it up for everybody
I can't lie mayne, they thought I was just getting started
Eat the pie mayne, it's the American dream
I'm just participating, my participation is game
