Lyrics - Blowin' Up In The World by Kool G. Rap

Back in the days was kinda crazy, kid
I started out with nothin
Wasn't livin like
Thanksgiving,
I was turkey without the stuffin
Sometimes
I sweared to
God that
I was headed for the poorhouse
Say mama caught the drama, she would bleed tryin to feed 4 mouths
Wasn't rockin
Girbauds,
I barely had clothes, and when it snowedand temperatures droppin below zero, you know
I froze
No
CD's, a black and white
TV, a seat is a rubber tirewith a hanger for the antenna, turned channels with some pliers
Had nothin in my cabinet, but cans of
Raid
I'm knockin on my neighbor's doorto borrow a cup of sugar for my
Kool-
Aid
I wasn't freshly dipped, my gear was straight ripped,
I'm trippincause my winter coat got lost buttonsand zippers that wouldn't stay zipped
I never remembered ?, the brother was straight fat cat
Not even a
Big
Mac black,
I had
Kid
Castle topped with crackerjacks
Walkin the streets, with the weak sneaks on my feet
And the freaks wouldn't speak,
I never had lipstick on my cheek
So much for gettin humped from the stunts,
I always struck out
The one y'all likes is takin hikes if you can't pull a buck out
So now
I gots to dedicate my next plate to all the homeboys and girls
Straight up baby,
I'm blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
I'm blowin up the world,
I gotta get mines,
I gotta get mines
I gotsta get mines, youknowhat
I'msayin?
I'm blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
I'm blowin up the world,
I gotta get mines,
I gotta get mines
I gotsta get mines, yeah...
It seems like only yesterday, my moms was on my back"
Get your butt up out the sack and find a job or hit the road
Jack"
Black,
I don't disown her,
I'm just a kid from
Coronawith a
G.
E.
D. diploma, with more ribs showin than
Tony
Rhoma's
In order to get straight,
I gotsta to make a muscle
Learned to hustle and bustle and
I gave the streets a tussle
Standin down on the corner slangin fat rocks to bottleswith the black tops, for cops got my shorty watchin my back
Hobbes
Makin mad lucci, bought up
Louis
Vuitton gucci
Hoochies callin me boochi, while they smooch me, givin up the coochie
Now
I'm a felon, started sellin and splittin melons
I started gellin, to tellin police just cause
I was swellin
Hangin out on the corner playin cee-lo, rollin for half a kilo
Yo you'll never see
G-low a-goin below
Yeah, straight gettin fortunate, as long as fees was torchin it
It started gettin hot around the block, the cops was scorchin it
But luckily
I made out before the coppers could frisk me and diss mecause business is drugs is gettin too risky
So now
I just lamp, collect stamps, snatch up tramps diamonds and pearls
Straight up baby,
I'm blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
I'm blowin up the world,
I gotta get mines,
I gotta get mines
I gotsta get mines, youknowhat
I'msayin?
I'm blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
I'm blowin up the world,
I gotta get mines,
I gotta get mines
I gotsta get mines, yeah...
I got put on by
DJ
Polo, cut the record, "
It's a
Demo"and started chillin in limos with champagne and tinted windows
Hoppin, no time for pages, sportin gold chains and rings
Clockin money and fame, nothin changed,
I'm still the same
Just spendin 20's and 10's at women pullin on my linenand grinnin cause
I was winnin in this game from the beginning
The lyrical skills was kinda ill, gave you a slight chill
So
I just let the hype build, known for rappers run and go write wills
I turned from a hobo to a solo bozin for dolos
Stole my dough, you still below, now
I perfer cigars and blow
Mo'
So catch a flashback, of a
G.
Rap track, attacked, like a headcrackthat's smack, through your cap, with the lead black
And here's a new cut, for pooh-butt, rappers hangin from off mytwo nuts like they was put there by members of the
Ku
Klux
So peep
Kool
G.
Rap, don't sleep, money unless it's witcha girl
Straight up kid,
I'm blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
I'm blowin up the world,
I gotta get mines,
I gotta get mines
I gotsta get mines, youknowhat
I'msayin?
I'm blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world
Blowin up, blowin up in the world!
I'm blowin up the world,
I gotta get mines,
I gotta get mines
I gotsta get mines, yeah...
