Surroundings - E-40, Stresmatic

Michelin Star restaurants, Cohiba cigar blunts

Front row seats at the UFC fights, first class flights

Homeowners Association fees and property taxes

Earthquake insurance just in case something collapses

Wholesale license and DBA’s

Selling alcohol by the truckload, selling liquor by the case

Record labels and streams, billion plays

One day I’ma own a baseball team, the Giants or Oakland A’s

Growing up in the struggle, you gotta be wired right

Can’t be snitchin' and tellin' on fellas like a vice

Gotta be made for hustlin', know your weaknesses and strengths

Gotta go with your heart and your gut, trust your instincts

When I was growing up they taught me all the rules

Never put your right foot in your left shoe

I was a quiet dude, I never gave a clue

Gotta watch this dude 'cause I’ll do somethin' to you, bitch!

I pull up with the music poundin'

Both pockets full, lookin' astoundin' (Astoundin')

Check all my mirrors, they be clownin'

Gotta watch your surroundings (Your surroundings)

Check all my mirrors, they be clownin' (Clowinin')

Gotta watch your surroundings

Kudos to my inmates in them fire camps

Programmin' and doin' their time like some champs

Reading books and eating healthy with no pork

Cardio, push-ups and bar work

My uncle used to always tell me, 'Nephew, go for it

Don’t be tryna buy it if you know you can’t afford it

If the good Lord bless you when you come across a check

Say 'Thank you, Jesus,' show some respect'

Keep quiet as it can be, careful, don’t flamboast

They’ll run through your pockets, take off your clothes

They’ll mix you, they’ll kick when you out cold

No matter the age, young or old

Livin' out here in the sludge where they hold a grudge and they bust

7-point-6−2's and double eye bucks

I’m from Vallejo, California, the Yay

Startup company, Seed A, bitch!

I pull up with the music poundin'

Both pockets full, lookin' astoundin' (Astoundin')

Check all my mirrors, they be clownin'

Gotta watch your surroundings

So many catastrophes, so much stress

Where elementary teachers get paid less

Watch your surroundings, stay ready and pack a gat

When you’re washing your clothes at the laundromat

The closest ones to you will set you up

Give you up for a couple of bucks

Break bread with the enemies, split the worth

Then go to Neiman’s and purchase a man purse

Life is too short, so one don’t plan to live long

Sorrow and hurt, the mamas cry on the phone

Face on a shirt, they can’t afford a tombstone

Ain’t nobody home when you ask for a loan

Gotta watch 'em 'cause they quick

Go in the gas station and get bipped

Break your car window, take your belongings

Your backpack, your laptop, and all your earnings, BIATCH!
