[Intro: Birdman]
Yeah, n***a
Right now I'm on Stunna Island, n***a, blowin' out the pound, n***a
Fast money, Cash Money, n***a
Got 'bout a mil' under the mattress, n***a
'Bout five million in the wall, you dig?
Know what I'm sayin'?
Me and my homie Hot Beezy, n***a
G'd up to the feet up
And by the way, that's the lil' homie Chop, bitch

[Chorus: Magnolia Chop]
You can take a n***a out the ghetto
But you can't take the ghetto out of me
Bitch, I'm a G, I gotta eat on these streets
Survive on these streets, I'ma die on the streets, I'm a G

[Verse 1: Magnolia Chop]
Uptown, yeah, we gettin' down
Shit was kinda hard for me when I lost my mound
I'm the murder man, how you lovin' that?
I'll do a drive-by in a Maybach (Bitch)
On twenty-twos gleamin'
Think the Bimmer ain't dreamin'
Me and Baby, we blingin'
We keep it hood rich, on some other shit
Y'all know we gettin' rich over here
Oh, baby, it's my year
To bang it from the bottom to the top, it's my year
[Chorus: Magnolia Chop]
You can take a n***a out the ghetto
But you can't take the ghetto out of me
Bitch, I'm a G, I gotta eat on these streets
Survive on these streets, I'ma die on the streets, I'm a G

[Verse 2: Birdman]
On the real for real, my n***a, on the real, my n***a
We been 'bout this hustle since '94
A hundred mil' is the deal, my n***a, project skills, my n***a
We got this game here off the floor
We spin corners for real, my n***a, eleven hundred contender, my n***a
When we out here pimpin' hoes
We get it how we live, my n***a, ten million on a crib, my n***a
We been movin' birds on the low
We stay strapped with the MAC in the 'Lac, n***a
Since '85, n***a been gettin' stacks, n***a
I'll never change and a n***a bounced back
Gave the lil' homie game, the n***a gave it right back, n***a
I'm from a grounds what the n***as call Uptown
And Cash Money is the life, blowin' out the pound

[Bridge: Magnolia Chop]
On twenty-twos gleamin'
Think the Bimmer ain't dreamin'
Me and Baby, we blingin'
We keep it hood rich, on some other shit
Y'all know we gettin' rich over here
Oh, baby, it's my year
To bang it from the bottom to the top, it's my year
[Chorus: Magnolia Chop]
You can take a n***a out the ghetto
But you can't take the ghetto out of me
Bitch, I'm a G, I gotta eat on these streets
Survive on these streets, I'ma die on the streets

[Outro: Magnolia Chop]
I gotta eat on these streets, never die on these streets
Get down on these streets, survive on these streets
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma
You can take a n***a, n***a out the ghetto
But you can't take the ghetto outta me
Come on, I know, one day, that change is gonna come
