Back Where I Belong (Featuring Ja Rule)
Yo, yeah, aight after this particular practice run
I'ma practice on both verses, after this, I want you to find a spot
That's close to, to when the beat drops to the rewind point
For the locate point
You ain't gotta be on that all night, this the soundtrack, yo, yeah
Check it, okay, alright, huh okay
The other night I was up at Farmers, politician wit some bloods
They told me, ‽Yo L, in the streets you ain't gettin' no Love
And ever since the X's and the Jiggas came out
My niggas ain't tryin' to the hear that smooth shit you talk about'
'What's up with that Cat Canibus, some played you out
Why you didn't answer back correctly, fuck was that about?'
As I sip on some Henny, and try to explain some things
About the life of a legend, and all the Drama it brings
Been gone a long time, had a lot of shit on my mind
I decided I don't want to reach my goal if it means losing my shine
Streets is Hip-hop and I'm Hip-Hop, so the streets is mine
Ballin' as long as you been livin', that's a long time
Hard to stay hungry when your pockets are so fat
You hit a hot one in every city on the map
And niggas keep sleepin' and you keep coming back
You know better than the gat, but niggas still wanna clap
Said it feels so good, to be back where I belong
The streets is where I belong
They had me locked down much too long
Hey hey
It feels so good, to be back where I belong
The streets is where I belong
They had me locked down much too long
Hey hey
Some say, 'L that's cool, but see times have changed'
Niggas got red bandannas, and the grill in the range
That gold shit is dead, niggas rock platinum chains
Trade O.E. for Henny, Colt 45 for champagne
Hustling niggas found they way into the game
Extorting all these so called ballers wit big names
And you gotta have a squad, 'cuz running from Def ain't safe
I know you living good, but ain't no smile up on our face
I'm like a villain, I'm representing on my lyrics
And force feed the world, even if they don't want to hear it
As far as Canibus go, my man is hittin' his ex-broad
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I'm getting head from his new piece while 20 gang-bangers applaud
You came up with that bullshit, some heads sucked it up
Then you dropped that garbage album and totally fucked it up
I coulda told you I knew your moms from the after-hours spot
When I used to be up in Canada with the dreads on a black block
Before you dick rode Lost Boyz for a ticket our to Jersey
But being the man I am, I tried to show you mercy
I coulda told the World the way ya label hates your guts
And how me and Wyclef, got together to set you up
And how he gave me half your budget, don't believe me look it up
Ya A&R Promotion niggas, they helped me hook it up
I hate to be responsible, for destroying your career
A one-hit wonder, huh no wonder you disappeared
I coulda told the world you get your lyrics from the Internet
Then spit 'em word for word like you really a rap vet
How you take metaphors from books and put 'em in your rhyme
And how you really from Canada and you been frontin' all this time
I heard your second album, that shit is garbage too
LL Cool J and I did this to you
On that note he said, 'Yo L, you the man'
I said peace, one love and drove off in the Lex Land
Said it feels so good, to be back where I belong
(Yea nigga, the jig is up nigga, huh ha)
The streets is where I belong
(You know what I'm sayin? All that bullshit you was talking)
They had me locked down much too long
(Don't mean shit, you finish now)
Hey hey
It feels so good, to be back where I belong
(I'm still the man nigga)
The streets is where I belong
(The vanguard award is in my motherfuckin' living room)
They had me locked down much too long
(You know what I mean? Come get that shit, fuck, what)
Hey hey
MIC still on my arm nigga, word up
Both arms, I'ma get another one nigga
You know what I'm sayin', this LL you know how I get down
You should of known, when you did it
He probably did it to get some fame, but is this really what you want?
