Welcome to the South

(Welcome to the South) Try to criticize us for how we live

And go do the same thangs that we just did, mmm

Better watch your mouth, try to criticize us for how we spit

Then say you respect the money that we get, mmm

(Welcome to the South) Must you criticize everything we did

Then expect at us to never even trip, mmm

We more than grilles and candy paint so be careful what you say

Cause we must just throw it right back in your face, hey

Better watch your mouth

Uhh, across the globe I hear the hate

The same whispers from state to state

If you didn't say it then this ain't for you

Don't worry 'bout it cause you can't relate

Before you buy me and you criticize me

while you beside me let's get it straight

Cause you remind me of the kid beside me

Same rapper that you say you hate

Wanna criticize then fine (fine)

Said it's I've got simple rhymes (rhymes)

Every time I travel I'm

in the backyard that act just like mine

Same grind just different times (times)

I know things done changed a lil'

Used to show our grills and they be like "Eww!"

Nowadays all say "That's ill"

I remember when a major label

wouldn't even come pay a visit

Used to say they have love for us but

they was blowin them suspect kisses

Now you watch and we see you plot

and you can't act like we ain't suspicious

Shootin slugs just shoot at us

but when you bust your thang it misses

Uhh, I ain't even much trippin

cause I'm the man where I'm residin

So I'm decidin where I'm residin

so never tolerate domestic violence

I know you'd rather me just relax

and sit back in silence

But I'm the owner, not just a client

so the South is what I stay advertisin

Don't knock the swagger, don't knock the swagger

then turn around and be a swagger-jacker

If you a man then you should be a man

don't walk around without a Adam's apple

We was lookin at it from a distance

but we wasn't trippin cause it had to happen

Styrofoam cup, and a Snapple

and you actin like you been a fan of rappin

If you was hatin or participatin

when you saw us up and never slidin through

You and everybody else that did it

It applied to them and it applied to you

You actin like somebody made you say it

Took your hand and then applied the glue

Turn around and gave the mic to you

and now you end up lookin like a fool

Can't polly us, come follow us

and that's the reason I'm in the lead

The rest of y'all are some bench warmers

and gettin mad cause I'm in the lead

I'm switchin speeds don't get fatigued

Y'all behind the line, y'all chasin me

Y'all finna see my energy

so ya get off my back and let a playa breathe

I won't lie and act like

that I'm the one supportin everythang

Like Southern rappers ain't never lame

like some of these boys don't eff up the game

Most of us do our thang

and the rest of 'em leave my ears in pain

But that's him and he sure ain't me

so don't look at us like we all the same

Uhh, South side candy rider never been a socializer

Flyin high, work grinder, knock your gal you can't find her

She was sittin on butter, hun'ned thousand under her ass

I was workin the wood circle smokin candy mashin on the gas

I can't be you I can't do you, I just do me, if you ain't

been where I been then you cain't, be who I be if you ain't

seen what I seen and you cain't, see what I see

I put the bricks, in the road there was slab on it wasn't free

Been a legend in the South since the year 9-3

"Pocket Full of Stones," menace to society

The hard in the cars, chrome-y fo's, not D's

Now everybody pimpin and they all got keys

Please you work, for UPS

They say they smokin dro but all I keep smellin is cress

I roll with the best, '92 me and Screw in the Lexus

I might not be nothin to you but I'm the {shit} in that Texas

(Welcome to the South...)
