O.G. Salute

One time for the boys who laid the foundation
O.G. Salute, O.G. Salute, O.G. Salute
If it ain’t you, don’t claim it, get it in
One time for the boys that done bled the block
Now they shacked down on that bus, headed out
Did what they had to do whether scared or not
Them the ones that the hood can’t forget about
So much game that it might give your brain a cramp
Thrown straight up in the fire, no training camp
A lot of boys talk a good game
Tryna get a few women and some hood fame
No actors man, this for real
Street skills so his family never missed a meal
And it’s a day to day operation
CEO of your own ghetto corporation
Since they don’t wanna give us reparation
We pull our pants down on ‘em fool, defecation
And we gon' give it to whoever want it
Boys talking like they did it but they never done it
Yeah, this the O.G. Salute
Yo hood, this the O.G. Salute
My hood, the O.G. Salute
My folks be the truth with proceeds to boot
Come on, O.G. Salute
Every city, O.G. Salute
Worldwide, this the O.G. Salute
My folks be the truth with proceeds to boot
One time for the soldiers if y’all wanna know
And I ain’t talking about the ones that’s in the army, bro
Set up shop ‘cause he had to make some longer dough
Made 20 racks at the neighbourhood corner store
Boys coming out the jacket with a dope packet
Clean serve after clean serve, no racket
You can’t relax with a snitch around
Two strikes and the judge is on the pictures mound
Your partner gone, you can’t let that get you down
Had to step the game up and cover bigger ground
Get it in until there ain’t no money left to make
Smart enough to learn from somebody else mistakes
As long as he comes first, that’s number one
Never turn cutthroat once the money come
Trained by the streets, certified tougher than leather
Real O.G.s know they can’t hustle forever
Yeah, this the O.G. Salute
Yo hood, this the O.G. Salute
My hood, the O.G. Salute
My folks be the truth with proceeds to boot
Come on, O.G. Salute
Every city, O.G. Salute
Worldwide, this the O.G. Salute
My folks be the truth with proceeds to boot
How they blame us when they the ones feeling the drama
J-Flex in the pen for defending his mama
Every day by the police, we get harassed
But every time they beat our ass they get a pass
Five cats here to lick, now they wanted men
One got caught didn’t tell, took it on the chin
Better keep his books loaded up with no stress
Holding down for his family for the whole stretch
And you ain’t never got your hands dirty
You in the game tryna wear another man’s jersey
Every day is a dollar day
Wannabe’s get spotted from a mile away
You still tryna keep the scam up
Boys’ll get it in for real, getting jammed up
Staying down, never change, I’m the same guy
You know a real G, never let their name die
Yeah, this the O.G. Salute
Yo hood, this the O.G. Salute
My hood, the O.G. Salute
My folks be the truth with proceeds to boot
Come on, O.G. Salute
Every city, O.G. Salute
Worldwide, this the O.G. Salute
My folks be the truth with proceeds to boot
