I never knew that a kid like me 
 Could take his mic around the world 
 and flash the big S.D. 
 And rock the masses, 
 from Madrid to Calabassas 
 Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo 
 They know me though, 
 cause I've be putting in work  [bad word] my life to rebirth, 
 well respected cause that's my word 
 I'm sure you heard about 
 a new sound going around 
 She might have left my hood, 
 but she was born in my town 
 [bad word] ] 
 You didn't know, 
 thought we was new on the scene 
 Well, it's alright, it's alright, 
 I know you know, I see you smiling at me 
 Well, it's alright, it's alright. 
 Boom! [bad word] the boom! 
 Ready or not, 
 [bad word] the boys from the South! 
 Boom! [bad word] the boom! 
 Ready or not? how do you like me now? 

We rep the South, 
 so what are you talking about? 
 I'm [bad word] off my mouth, 
 I know this without a doubt 
 Cause if you know these streets, 
 then these streets know you 
 When it's time to handle business, 
 then you know what to do 
 Me and my crew, we stay [bad word]  
 old skool or new 
 Many were called, but the chosen are few 
 We rise to the top, 
 what you want? just in case you forgot:  [bad word] the stage, grab my mic, 
 show me what you got 
 [bad word]  

Is that all you got? 
 I'll take your best shot! 
 [bad word] ] 
 You didn't know, 
 thought we was new on the scene 
 Well, it's alright, it's alright, 
 I know you know, I see you smiling at me 
 Well, it's alright, it's alright. 
 Boom! [bad word] the boom! 
 Ready or not, 
 [bad word] the boys from the South! 
 Boom! [bad word] the boom! 
 Ready or not? how do you like me now?
