Global Telling
[Intro]
Where we at?
What else? (Ayy)
227 (The Mafia)
[Verse 1]
I told Striggy to make it home back to Bo Diddley (My sunny boys)
Giovanni Carlo, Benicio Diego (The gang-gang)
Robbie Gayle, Jeremy Durst and the real Bo Jackson (Yeah)
Whole city know what we on, that ain't no kizzy (No cap)
Sorry for the wait to my fans, I've been so busy (My bad)
Shippin' out all this cargo, tell Chi-Chi get the yayo (Chi-Chi)
Turnaround after turnaround got me so dizzy
Break a whole thangio and cut it into four fractions (Four nines)
Posted up on the aisle with G's, that ain't no caption
You and your mans hung in every verse in your rhyme
So he the co-captain (Haha), work came ovеr a O like I know Drizzy (Skrrt)
Before Nicki, for thе Trissy, brodie want two-thirty a line (Tax)
Where the grams are slung, n***as vanish every summer (Uh-huh)
From lettin' n***as rock 'em to sleep with nursery rhymes (Dumbass)
Or they gone 'til November, tryna come up over winter (Okay)
Or end up up the river for not rehearsin' they lines
[Chorus]
Just the life in general of a criminal-minded individual
Do the crime, you gotta take the time that come with it too (Man up)
The fucked-up part about it all is how you did the crew
And everyone you gave your ass to kiss won't even visit you (Fucked up, ain't it?)
No exception to the rules if you know you tellin'
No acceptin' collect calls from Global Tel Link
Just the life in general of a criminal-minded individual
Do the crime, you gotta take the time that come with it too
[Verse 2]
It's overwhelming when n***as put some money on your helmet (Grrt)
Brought up the letter that I wrote to Terry (Stand on that)
Finna get a n***a iced in the clink, runnin' his motor mouth (Shh)
That's surely grounds for dismissal, hopin' they throw it out (Pray to God)
Little house on the prairie, Gulliver's travel, no Magellan
Cross McClellan, clip pokin' like it's open carry
On Kennebec with Auntie Kim, Brandon, Flo, and Harry (Cuzzo)
Still in the hood holdin' shit down like the motor mount (Drug zone)
Know my mama proud of her son, I'm all she boast about
At the family reunion reminiscin' on my uncle Gary (My uncle Gary)
Come to my sisters and my cousins, told her, "Don't compare me" (Don't do that)
I ain't graduate, can't spell or read, but I for sure can count (Count that cheddie)
Strong finish, end of this run is how I'm closin' out (Finishin' strong)
While n***as takin' pitfalls big as a bowl of cherries
Favorite classes in coolie, science, math, and culinary
Spinnin' up a biggie fry just tryna get the overs off
[Chorus]
Just the life in general of a criminal-minded individual
Do the crime, you gotta take the time that come with it too
The fucked-up part about it all is how you did the crew
And everyone you gave your ass to kiss won't even visit you
No exception to the rules if you know you tellin'
No acceptin' collect calls from Global Tel Link
Just the life in general of a criminal-minded individual
Do the crime, you gotta take the time that come with it too
[Outro]
The most important thing in business is honesty
Integrity, hard work
Family
Never forgettin' where we came from
Thank you, Shauna
So you are what you are in this world
That's either one of two things
Either you're somebody or you're nobody
