From The Ground Up Lyrics - E-40

Testin', testin' 

It's game orienfested, size sixes vested 

K-Cizee, JoJo, that boy Too Sheezee, Todd Shaw 

And Earl Stevens, AKA, Charlie Hustle 

Hey Todd, you on? Am I on? 

The foundation was laid several years ago 

I built a whole empire in your stereo 

Got a four leaf clover representin' the Bay 

Oakland, Frisco, Vallejo, and EPA 

We keep the shit together, let's keep it that way 

From Sacramento all the way to San Jose 

We in a new era for ten years you made hits 

So what's up E-Feezi? We still the shit, beotch

How you think I got this pot belly, overnight? 

Shet a nigga was hungry, I had an appetite 

Just like a lie to my people that's caught up in the struggle 

Motherfuckers tryin' to bubble, niggaz tired of slangin' 

Barney Rubble, gettin' in trouble and fuckin' up 

Parole got me makin' my kids piss in a cup 

It's cold, that's why I got a few bucks, I put up 

From sellin' greens, investing in some vending machines 

From the ground up 

We started with nothing from nothing we made something 

Nobody really gave a damn about us from the bottom we started 

We started with nothing from nothing we made something 

Nobody really gave a damn about us from the ground on up 

From the ground up, here go some details 

This right here was made, said strictly for the females 

Don't y'all know it's time for y'all to blow up like Napalm 

Instead of sellin' Tupperware and Avon 

Photos 

Get your business license, go on and put the peas in the pot 

Tell your baby to get your baby daddy to buy you a nail shop 

Or a beauty saloon, since he come to be the biggest tycoon 

With methamphetamine laughs and heroin balloons 

Six police pulled me over laid a nigga on the ground 

Searched my car real good I know you know what they found 

I had the trunk, full of that junk, X-Rated lyrics, laced with the funk 

No doubt, I was just about to flood the streets 

Big boxes full of tapes with them dope fiend beats 

Two white boy groupies, mad as hell 

Black men makin' mail, couldn't take him to jail 

We started with nothing from nothing we made something 

Nobody really gave a damn about us from the bottom we started 

We started with nothing from nothing we made something 

Nobody really gave a damn about us from the ground on up 

I spent sixteen hundred makin' born to mack 

Used my niggaz gold ropes and his Cadillac 

I was broke to start with, didn't give a fuck 

Couldn't tell me Short Dawg wasn't comin' up 

When motherfuckers roll by bumpin' your stuff 

It makes you feel good like when you bust a nut 

Now I'm a millionaire and can't get enough 

Forty tell em how it is way too tough, Short Dawg 

When I first started rappin', motherfuckers would cap 

That nigga fake he sound like Woody Pecker on crack 

Niggaz, would laugh and say, "I rap too fast way back then" 

But now I be catchin' all kind of motherfuckers tryin' to sneak 

My little old style in 

And that's a compliment 'cause I ain't trippin' on the money 

What about the money? What about the money? 

Ask me, sheeit, I think there's enough money up in this bitch 

For all of us, we can Sasquatch pimp the system without a doubt 

All we gotta be is 'bout our paper route 

We started with nothing from nothing we made something 

Nobody really gave a damn about us from the bottom we started 

We started with nothing from nothing we made something 

Nobody really gave a damn about us from the ground on up 

That's real, Too Sheezee, Ant Banks, Forty Fonzarelli 

K-Ci and my nigga, JoJo 

We all come from the ground up, beaotch 

Right from the bottom to the top from the ground up we never stop 

Right from the bottom to the top, we never stop 

Right from the bottom to the top from the ground up we never stop 

Right from the bottom to the top, we never stop 

Never stop, no we will never stop, baby 

We will never stop, we will, we will never stop 

We will never stop from the ground up, from the ground up 

From the ground up, no, from the ground up, from the ground up 

From the bottom to the top, baby, baby baby baby baby, baby, baby
