[ VERSE 1: Richie Rich ]   Richie Rich is a factor, a mack, not an actor   Who lounges in the cut and waits just to jack the   Punks who superficially write   Procrastinate, perpetrate, they just bite   I don't really give it much thought, just wax em   Page the posse, grease the Uzis, tax em   And lift up out of there, casualties to rest   Get in the Cutlass, drop the gat and the vest   Have you ever seen a Vogue tire smoke?   Straight on a mission, man, I ain't no joke   See, this is a hype tip, cause in the O that's how we do this   Handlin boys and punks, I thought you knew this   Gangster's bread on a day-to-day basis   And then the punk police, they try to face this   Form of high rollers just walkin the street   Ain't pumped in a year and just because of the heat   The money still long, just livin lavish   Cause see, the boys in the Oak, they gotta have this   Cause it takes money to survive   And the hustlers are a product of the 415      [ CHORUS ]   The 4, the 1, the 5   (So much mellow mellow at the) --> Bootsy Collins   The 4, the 1, the 5      [ VERSE 2: Richie Rich ]   Now see, the 415 is a district   Should I break it down?
