Tell It Like It Is (Explicit) - E-40

How can I help you

What can I do for ya

Looking for that china white

Girl that's so soft

If I ain't got it

I know where to find it

If I can get it for you

Boss

How much you got in your budget

The more you buy the less it costs

I could front you a few off the side

As long as your a*s don't double 'cross

You 'crossed a lot of racoons

Get your cranium sawed off

I got mouths to feed my n***a

I can't afford to take no loss

I can give your a*s a number

It's up to you to keep it quite

You can't be a punk about the hustle

You gotta keep the money coming

I'm out here

Dealing with these suckers

Stopping the fake a*s busters

They stab your a*s in the back

These brothers turn on you

I know when it's gonna be a shortage

How long this shortage suppose to last

I ain't got the weather channel

To predict the forecast

The plan is hustling

'Cause there ain't no work there

Ain't no job

So they stuck in playing this game

And the next thing they gonna rob

Bite the hand that feed 'em

That s**t right there ain't y'all

Two faced little ol' heather

Working with the law

Man no matter what you do for n***as

They ain't never gonna be satisfied

Tell it like it is

My whole thing is like

Why dudes be letting cats get in their ear though

I'm just telling it like it is

I don't know what the f**k

Happened between 96 up to now

N***a is hoes

I'ma tell it like it is

Man n***as is going out backwards man

Killas are snitching my n***a

What's happening with that

Tell it like it is

If there was a snake it would have

Bite ya

See you've been following

So many n***a you wouldn't even know what hit ya

Now you don't know which way to look

You don't really know which way to turn

Got you trying to protect yourself

With all the bridges you done burned

You n***as cry to us nowadays

You n***as feelings get hurt too easily

Might as well wear a tampon might as well be a breezy

A closed mouth don't get fed

And a lazy hustler don't get bread

Pimping I can't read minds

I don't know what's in your head

Everybody think they know it all

Don't wanna hear nobody speak

Shut the f**k up and listen sometime

Even if you an OG

Me personally I'm a grinder

Can't let no grass grow under my feet

Don't nothing come to a sleeper but a dream

A vision without a plan is just a hallucination

I gotta lotta folks in the pen

Programming on vacation

I'm gonna give it to you straight

I ain't gonna give it to you late

Imma tell your a*s what's real

I ain't gonna tell ya nothing fake

Man I got my own dreams

Everybody wants me to finance theirs

Tell it like it is

You know who I like I like that boy 40 man

He's 20 years in the game and he consistent

I'm just telling it like

It is not all of them but a lot of these

New dudes is ringtone rappers man

Ima tell it like it is

Fools just have one album out

And act like they just it

Tell it like it is

Same song third verse

It's from the heart it ain't rehearsed

The world is full of associates but very few friends

Don't wanna contribute nothing

But wanna help spend your ends

Think before you rocking your mouth

Park your tongue and lip

Watching who you talkin round

Never know who you're having dinner with

You ain't got nothing good to say

Don't say nothing at all

Thats what I was told

That's what I was taught when I was small

A lot of these so called

Artists got too much time on ya hand

Should be getting your money

On

Instead of hating on the next man

It's lonely at the top

But it's next to crowded at the bottom

That's why I always keep my pistol cocked

In case I gotta stop 'em

Stinkter in my lap

Trunk full of slap

Hollering at 'em back

People asked

Pocket full of scraps

Nothing but thousand stacks

I'm old school acting a fool making my

Presence known

I look at business face to face

Don't like to talk on phones

When I'm at a stop sign

Or a red light I leave one car

Space in front of me

Tell it like it is

Just so I could have enough room to get up outta there

Just in case someone try to pop at me or something

Tell it like it is

Thats how I was raised

I'm still a student of the game

You could learn from a baby

I'ma tell it like it is

Man I was hollering at my grand partner

He said 40 return phone calls and you'll keep your friends

Tell it like it is

B***h

You two faced a*s motherf**kers

You two faced a*s

I didn't just help create my music motherf**ker

I invented it

Everybody wanna know what

The f**k mob music is n***a this is mob music n***a

Poor a*s motherf**kers

B***h
