I believe I got good skills
We been makin' music since we were kids
That's all I wanna do for life
Keepin' it real until the day I die
Obstacles get in my way
Continue to mash and don't forget to pray
I keep my hand on my steel
Because I love my life and I always will
Whatever people say to me
I take it in stride, I'm thinkin', "Negro, please"
If you really don't know me
Then you best back up, I suggest strongly
Yes sir, this is D-P-G
'Til the day I D-I-E
