[Chorus]
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers

[Verse 1: E-40]
UH!
Hustlin' nonstop
From a relish jar to a soup pot
From the bottom to the top
Fans all over the world, signin' autographs for cops
Somethin' I wouldn't have did if it was 24 years ago
(What about now?) But now I'm legit though, uh
No more pushin' cauliflower
Just microphone powder
Yowder, clam chowder, goop
You in the red, we in the black like a suit
Pockets obese, you famine, we feast
Mine's paid for, yours is a lease (UH!)
(What is you?) We are the pioneers
(How long you been doin' it?) We been doin' this shit for years
Give us our 'speck
My n***a, you ain't never seen a blue check
[Chorus]
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers

[Verse 2: Too $hort]
It can't be disputed
You know where it started
E-40 and $hort Dog
We keep makin' that hard shit
It's been a long time
Ever since you was a young one
And we still spittin' rhymes
I raised you like my own son
Call me pop, but I'm not a pop star
One-hit wonders never really got far
I don't know why you talk smack
You was famous for a while but you ain't ever comin' back
You ask me, you never could rap
You look real corny, all the girls called you wack
We in the room now, you feel real small
Just look at all these plaques on the walls, bitch
(BIATCH!)
[Chorus]
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers

[Verse 3: E-40]
Earl and Todd will never play out or fall out, loyalty
You're listenin' to West Coast royalty
It wasn't an accident, we ain't clumsy
We paved the way, taught you how to get independent money
Grew up on Magic Mike and Calvin T
From the Rich, shoutout to $hort and Freddie B
On my list is the greatest rappers to emcee
You's a bitch if you don't recognize me
BIATCH!

[Verse 4: Too $hort]
I'm with some hoes, and all the pimps see me
Every day in the street, I'm not on MTV
It's a special, original programmin'
The History Channel is E-40 and $hort jammin'
Tune in, you just might learn somethin'
'Cause I'm shootin' off sperm, nuttin'
I'm just plantin' new seeds
Tryin' to grow some more trees so I could smoke a lot of weed
BITCH!
[Chorus]
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
We are—, we are—, we are the pioneers
We are the pioneers
