[Intro]  Yeah, let's take 'em back  Uh huh    [Verse 1 - 50 Cent]  Comin' up I was confused, my mama kissin' a girl  Confusin' occurs, comin' up in the cold world  Daddy ain't around, prolly out committin' felonies  My favorite rapper used to sing ch-check out my melody  I wanna live good, so shit I sell dope  For a fo' finger ring, one of them gold ropes  Nanna told me if I pass I'll get a sheep skin coat  If I can move a few packs and get the hat, now that'll be dope  Tossed and turn in my sleep at night  Woke up the next mornin' niggas done stole my bike  Different day, same shit, ain't nothin' good in the hood  I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could    [Chorus x2 - 50 Cent (Then Game)]  Hate it or love it, the underdog's ontop  And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stops    Go ahead, envy me, I'm rap's MVP  And I ain't goin' no where so you can get to know me    [Verse 2 - The Game]  I told Dre from the gate, I carry the heat fo' ya  First mixtape song, I inheirited beef fo' ya  Gritted my teeth fo' ya, G-G-G'd fo ya  Put Compton on my back when you was in need of soldiers  At my last show, I threw away my NWA gold  And had the whole crowd yellin' free Yayo  So niggas better get up outta mine  Before I creep and turn ya projects into Collumbine  And I'm rap's MVP  Don't make me remind ya'll what happened in D.C.  This nigga ain't Gotti, he pretend  Mad at us, cause Ashanti got a new boyfriend  And it seems your little rat turned out to be a mouse  This beef shit is for the birds and the birds fly south  Even Young Buck can vouch, when the doubts was out  Who gave the West Coast mouth to mouth    [Chorus x2 - 50 Cent (Then Lloyd Banks)]  Hate it or love it, the underdog's ontop  And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stops    Go ahead, envy me, I'm rap's MVP  And I ain't goin' no where so you can get to know me    [Bridge - 50 Cent]  From the beginnin' to end  Losers lose, winners win  This is real, we ain't got to pretend  The cold world that we in  Is full of pressure and pain  I thought it would change  But its stayin' the same    [Verse 3 - Lloyd Banks]  How many of them boys is with ya  When you had that little TV you had to hit on to get a picture  I'm walkin' with a snub, cause niggas do a lotta slip talkin' in the club  Till they coughin' on the rug, ain't never had much but a walkman and a bud  My role model is gone, snortin' up his drug, bad enough they want me to choke  My boy just got poked in the throat, now its a R.I.P. Shirt in my coat  Now I'm speedin' reminiscin', holdin' my weed in never listen  If I see him and lift him and maybe that'll even the score  And if not, then that'll be me on the floor    [Chorus x2 - 50 Cent (Then Tony Yayo)]  Hate it or love it, the underdog's ontop  And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stops    Go ahead, envy me, I'm rap's MVP  And I ain't goin' no where so you can get to know me    [Verse 4 - Tony Yayo]  I started out at fifteen, scared as hell  I took thirty off a pack and I made them sell  As a youth, man I used to hustle for loot  With that little duece duece and my triple fat goose  Sippin' easy Jesus rockin' the laces  Mama whipped me and when she found my pieces  I look back on life and think God I'm blessed  We the best on the planet so forget the rest    [Verse 5 - Young Buck]  You know I'm still nice with my cooked game  Look mayn, its a hood thang thats why I'm loved in Brooklayn  I handle mine just like a real nigga should  If I do some time, homie I'm still all good  Let me show what a thug that born to die  I took the bullets outta 50 and put 'em in my four five  And I ain't even got my feet wet yet  A seven figure nigga who ain't seen a royalty check bitch    [Chorus x2 - 50 Cent (Then Young Buck)]  Hate it or love it, the underdog's ontop  And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stops    Go ahead, envy me, I'm rap's MVP  And I ain't goin' no where so you can get to know me
