Like you got the bottom bunk in a two-man cell

You goat-mouth mammyfucker
            Em                              F#m
I was gonna kill a couple rappers, but they did it to themselves
     G                           Bm
Everybody's suicidal, they ain't even need my help
     Em                       F#m
This shit is elementary, I'll probably go to jail
     G                          Bm
If I shoot at your identity and bounce to the left
        Em                    F#m
Stuck a flag in my city, everybody's screamin' "Compton!"
         G                               Bm
I should probably run for mayor when I'm done, to be honest
      Em                         F#m
And I put that on my mama and my baby boo too
N.C                                                     Em

Ah yeah, fuck the judge, I made it past twenty-five, and there I was
         Em                          F#m
A little nappy-headed nigga with the world behind him
G                     Bm
Life ain't shit but a fat vagina
           Em                 F#m              G
Screamin' "Annie, are you okay? Annie, are you okay?"

Limo tinted with the gold plates
Em                                 F#m
Straight from the bottom, this the belly of the beast

From a peasant to a prince to a motherfuckin' king
