Protension: the online journal of Tom Elgin

[Explicit content]

Everywhere on the internet seemed to have this song horribly wrong, so I wrote it up. I added some explanations to the slang for fun.

Akon (TI):
(yeah)
konvict music (ok)
grand hustle movement (you know what this is partna)
hey (ain’t no games here)
[southern smoke]

we get it poppin on sight (hey)
i’m sure you already know my stilo (haters know what it is nigga)
see i’ve never been a busta just a true hustla
my squad is lethal (what’s happenin’ nigga?)
you come with the right price (hey)
i can make you look bigger than nino (hey come and holla at me)
just put a gun in your hand
and let you ride with the man (hey hey)
cuz i’m a motherfuckin hero (hey hey hey hey)
[southern smoke]
in my town

TI:
just make sure that he know, get it clear like pellegrino
from a c-note to a kilo i’m a neighborhood hero
they be talkin blow but they ain’t never seen a key though
ain’t never chopped a ’63 down to triple-zero
hate on me so much but i’m what you wanna be though
might’a went triple-platinum ye ain’t never been a G though
i keep the 50 with me, tote it round like it legal
fly like a seagull, ridin’ round with three girl
so keep it pimpin with me, you know you don’t wanna see those
well if so, we can meet up, you get ya ass beat up
the reason people honor me is the reason why you under me
you don’t believe we run the streets well come and see nigga

Akon:
we get it poppin on sight (hey)
i’m sure you already know my stilo (you already know bout me)
see i’ve never been a busta just a true hustla
my squad is lethal (P-S-C what’s happenin’ nigga?)
you come with the right price
i can make you look bigger than nino (10 for 10 nigga)
just put a gun in your hand (hey)
and let you ride with the man
cuz i’m a motherfuckin hero (come holla at me)
[southern smoke]

TI:
i’m the man it’s apparent even when i’m runnin errands
gotta be the mclaren or what i’m wearin got’em starin
bitches i share’em if they in my harem
they ain’t gettin high, well i don’t go near’em
nigga wanna die, tell’em buck I dare’em
i ain’t gonna spare’em homey i’ma gonna tear’em
apart from his heart to his ass swear to god
give a fuck about his partner, give a damn about a charge
i’ll take it too far, pull up wherever you are
empty clips at your new car, make sure you dead and zoom off
admit it you lost, probly cuz shorty too raw
now you flawed
hey tell’em how we do dawg

Akon:
we get it poppin on sight (ok)
i’m sure you already know my stilo (boy you already know bout me)
see i’ve never been a busta just a true hustla (ain’t no secret)
my squad is lethal (tell’em akon we been doin this shit)
you come with the right price (holla at me)
i can make you look bigger than nino (got 10 for 10 that’s a hard one)
just put a gun in your hand
and let you ride with the man (hey)
cuz i’m a motherfuckin hero (west side money makin)
[southern smoke]

i got a box of ammo that i rarely use
9 millimeter that i shine like shoes
hope the day’ll never come where a nigger have to
let it go on a busta, and hope it ain’t you
cuz I be on deck on the grind like sex
takin over local city streets like feds
breakin down every nickel every dime every brick
down to the last dollar, i mean every bit

we get it poppin on sight
i’m sure you already know my stilo
see i’ve never been a busta just a true hustla
my squad is lethal
you come with the right price
i can make you look bigger than nino
just put a gun in your hand
and let you ride with the man
cuz i’m a motherfuckin hero

we get it poppin on sight (hey)
i’m sure you already know my stilo (you already know bout me)
see i’ve never been a busta just a true hustla
my squad is lethal (P-S-C what’s happenin’ nigga?)
you come with the right price
i can make you look bigger than nino (10 for 10 nigga)
just put a gun in your hand (hey)
and let you ride with the man
cuz i’m a motherfuckin hero (come holla at me)
[southern smoke]

This isn’t T.I.’s best rapping or Akon’s best singing, and the song is completely unoriginal, but I think I like it just for the line “cuz I’m a motherfuckin hero.”
