[ Chorus ]
So get your money✦ how you want to, friend
But when it's time to count the chips only✦ the real will win
(Return✦ of the real) the game of life is only✦ fake and true
But it's all about✦ the dollars✦ when the day is through
[ Hot Dollar ]
(Cause the pimps don't get no bigger✦
Than these here niggas)✦
It's the return✦ of the real
(These muthafuckas best to get to recognize
Before✦ I gets to chastizin
Cause see, the shit all ties in
It's just some of that pimp, player, hustler shit
Ice-T✦ been around✦ for a while now
Nigga✦ was gangbangin✦ when gangbangin✦ wasn't even✦ cool, nigga✦
What you know about✦ that shit?)
[ VERSE 2 ]
I go deep into✦ the street life's✦ anatomy
A nigga✦ take me out - yo, what a upset✦ that'd be
And if I fall I fall on cushions, ???
Hittin✦ niggas✦ up with the Tec and watch the blood gushin✦
I see your videos, a 100 niggas✦ in it you don't know
Framed✦ in the lens, bought friends
Who really✦ got your back, nigga,✦ check it out
You really✦ possess like zero✦ street clout (think about)✦
The only✦ place you're safe is in the studio✦
Yellin✦ in the mic, you'se a bitch, that's right
I take a nigga✦ like you and make him prostitute cute
So what you got a gun, punk, you're scared✦ to shoot
You front hardcore, but I don't feel ya
Kids from my hood'll take your punk ass and peel ya
Let me check my Rolex quick because✦ time's✦ money✦
Squintin from the Pavet✦ face because✦ it's kinda✦ sunny✦
Skinnin the top back, flossin the rag and the thing
Feelin✦ the sun, backin✦ off of my pinky✦ ring
Hittin✦ the 'Shaw with my niggas✦ and clown
Lift the ass, hit the switch, raise the front off the ground
But most of the time you can't see a nigga✦
Deep in the archives parlayin new ways to get my bank bigger✦
[ Chorus ]
[ Hot Dollar ]
(As I slides✦ up out the do'
Gots to give a special props shout out to that nigga✦ the O.G
Got muthfuckin✦ Red in the house
[Name] and the muthafuckin✦ ringleader of funk, DJ Ace
Hot Dollar's✦ up in this muthafucka
If you didn't know
Count your muthafuckin✦ blessings and handcuff your hoe
You know what I'm sayin?
It's all good for my hood
Comp-town in the muthafuckin✦ house
Nigga✦ don't know well I tell ya like this
West Hollywood Hills
That's the deal, fool
You know I know the rules..)✦
