"WE STARVIN'"
KRAYZIE BONE featuring E-40 and Gangsta Boo
E-40:
Krayzie Bone, E-Fezie-fonzarezi & Gangsta Boo. What?
Krayzie and Gangsta Boo:
Its the end of the world and still niggas aint got no satisfaction.
[We cant get no . . .]
Its the end of the world, muthafuckas aint got no satisfaction
[satisfaction.]
We starvin' as we chase the paper, and trust it, man. Nigga, man, niggas
hate you. Fuck 'em, get your gun and get ya cheese. We got just
a little time left. If I'm not mistaken, the year is '99. But
we dont really know when we gon' die. Shit, most niggas dont
know how they still alive on this unmerciful, wicked planet. If ya
cant pay for your life, you're gonna vanish, vanish.
E-40:
You're lookin' at livin' proof--renovated, condemned, duplex, pots and
pans, leaks in the roof, dirty dishes, no dishwasher soap, no medical coverage,
bad case of Strep throat. Mama thinks she got arthritis. My neighbor
caught hepatitis from a simple yawn. They say it's airborne. We
aint got no street lights; they all broken--just take a trip through
Vallejo, Richmond, and Oakland, and everyday it's a funeral. He was
my numero uno, but I can't bring him back. All I know is he was stressin',
takin' anti-depressants. [What they do?] They found him dead in the
trunk of his Cadillac. And I'm so withdrawalled, all I could think
about is revenge. Always check up, always pullin' licks, and doin'
dirty work for dividends. He took the bullet for me. I'm the one that
really robbed the place. Boy, I've been tryin' to paper-chase.
Krayzie and Gangsta Boo:
We starvin' as we chase the paper, and trust it, man. Nigga, man,
niggas hate you. Fuck 'em, get your gun and get ya cheese. We
got just a little time left. If I'm not mistaken, the year is '99.
But we dont really know when we gon' die. Shit, most niggas
dont know how they still alive on this unmerciful, wicked planet. If
ya cant pay for your life, you're gonna vanish, vanish.
Gangsta Boo:
I done grew up in the game, baby. Aint nothin changed.
Little money, little fame, baby. Im still the same, baby.
Lady's gotta make it. I cant be takin' no losses. I'm
the bomb of the party, always askin', "Where are the dollars?" Now
I know you hate me, 'cause I hooked up with Krayzie. Baby, Im
with whatever that pay me. Gangsta Boo be with it, be with it, so what
the fuck? Ill see you at the end of the year, so good luck!
Krayzie and Gangsta Boo:
We starvin' as we chase the paper, and trust it, man. Nigga, man, niggas
hate you. Fuck 'em, get your gun and get ya cheese. We got just
a lil' time left. If I'm not mistaken, the year is '99. But we
dont really know when we gon' die. Shit, most niggas dont
know how to stay alive on this unmerciful, wicked planet. If ya cant
pay for your life, you're gonna vanish, vanish.
Krayzie:
I made it, and I know its almost over. Call in the soldiers.
Better be ready to bomb back on 'em. Know your enemy's position
at all time--where they at and how much power they hold and how many soldiers
they got down the road. But in the meantime, you make your money.
Even if you strike it rich, you better hustle like you hungry for your
paper, paper, paper. These days only ways that pays can save you.
Livin' your life is like a task, if you aint got the cash.
Nigga, mad at the world as I put my mask over my face, and I grabbed
the magnum pistol with the stash in the bag. I'm doin' a pop pop, so
drop, and take it as a loss and chalk it. Now you can take your life
and keep on walkin' [Just keep on walkin'.], or be killed for tryin' to deny
me a meal. I do what I gotta do, let's keep it real for niggas in the
hood upon the block. Let 'em know they understood. Buckin' shots,
nigga, me livin' raw mentality war. So paranoia got me sleepin' on
the floor, watchin' the door. This no-win situation of tryin' to stay
alive until we die. And anyway you go, we won't make it. No way
to shake your fate. You better take advantage of your life while you
can--get rich, kick back, relax, spend your money, man. I'm all about paper.
Sorry, no party tonight, the year is 1999--last year to get your money,
right!
Krayzie and Gangsta Boo:

E-40:
That's real. You undersmell me? Suckas do what they can;
playas do what they want. Dig it? Charlie Hustle, everytime up
in your talk. Yeah, face it. Krayzie Bone, Gangsta Boo, fuckin'
they nose like this. This how we fuckin' they nose up--dig it nigga?
Yeah, paper chasin', nigga. Paper route [paper route]. You
undersmell me? We starvin'. You undersmell me nigga? Yeah,
don't let the marbles control you. Yeah, chest-high up in the marbles,
nigga . . .
