Just because I kick it with killas don't mean that I do it my occupation is a musician and I'm staying true to it I went from being a ridah to being a provider while I was straddling the benz trying not to hit the divider just a impressional human being trying to do right every now and then I get my manner tested in fight like I used to have a beef with this cat named eight and his homies approached me at the club at ray what was I to do I'm on stage and I'm doing my thang and this niggas out in the crowd trying to hoo bang giving it up for his homies and set tripping too but he wasn't from roadie 6 these more like triaged me I wondered what's his problem what he's trying to say is his business personal or just f**k dj quik day I approached him like a man and not like a nut he turned around and put his drink down and straight out pulled up in a dark club punches is flying all around and even though it was me and him the rumors were around they said I killed somebody now how that sound how
