[E 40]



Testin testin



It's game orienfested size six ex vested



K Cizee.. JoJo... that boy Too Sheezee Todd Shaw



and Earl Stevens a.k.a. Charlie Hustle



Hey Todd you on? (Am I on?)



*K Ci and JoJo singing*



[Too $hort]



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!



[E-40]



How you think I got this pot belly, overnight?



Shet a nig-ga was hongry, I had an appetite



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



Motherfuckers tryin to bumble, 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



Chorus: K-Ci and JoJo



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!



[E-40]



From the ground up, here go some details



This verse 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



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
