"Chrome Hearts" lyrics
The Game, DJ Drama and Mike & Keys Lyrics
And this is just the mixtape
So soulful
Oh, baby
DJ Drama
Chrome hearted (Gangsta Grizzillz)
When I was one, my daddy dug a hole and threw my mama in it
Every household in Compton has some trauma in it
And ever since then, my life had some drama in it
Bought a gangster grill and now I got DJ Drama (Gangsta Grizzillz)
You see, growing up, I always wanted to be a movie director
But I guess you could say my mixtapes is like films
Got famous for the gangster flicks
Ventured off in other genres
It's fair to say, though
I'm best known for blockbusters
Me and Game connecting is like
Scorsese and DiCaprio
Wolves of all streets
Turn you niggas into The Departed
Leave you questionin' yourself like Shutter Island
Y'all thinkin' Grammys, we thinkin' more like Oscars
And this is just the mixtape
When I was one, my daddy dug a hole and threw my mama in it
Every household in Compton has some trauma in it
And ever since then, my life had some drama in it
Bought a gangster grill and now I got DJ Drama in it (Yes, sir)
Platinum off my pain, how many times I done did it
And this rap shit ain't really worth all the commas in it
It almost took my life and my '64 Impala with it
Nigga said he got a problem? I ain't got no problem with it
Roll me some weed 'cause sometimes I just gotta hit it
Slow my thoughts 'cause my mind be like a mile a minute
And if you see me in some jewelry and it got diamonds in it
Just act like I ain't got it on 'cause the bullets from this 9 come with it
Got it off a dead man's neck, but I ain't dying with it
One thing about these shots, time on Earth be flying with it
Look me in my eyes so I can tell if you lying in 'em
Tell you like my daddy told me, fuck all that crying, nigga
I'd rather be feared than loved
I'd rather be feared
I'd rather be feared than loved
I'd rather be feared
When I was three, my mama tried to kill my daddy with his own gun
Love will make you kill a nigga in front your own son
I guess I turned out okay, though
Walkin' through life bare-footed, steppin' on these Legos
Like footprints in the sand, depending how my day go
Respect my big homies, but I never needed they say-so
Especially off the Quavo, fillin' balloons up with quallos
Catchin' fades with Mexicans that look like Lefty Gunplay and Peysoh
I'm alive, obviously, 'cause I get high and lay low
And I put that on God, the City of Angels will get you a halo
If I really wanted y'all bitches, cars and chains, I'd take those
'Cause, nigga, I'm The Game and this khaki suit my play clothes
I don't turn down smoke, I don't turn up niggas' albums
First niggas was scared of my brother, so I start pullin' up without him
Los Angeles King, show me a rooftop, I'll shout it
And a nigga y'all thought was king ain't gon' do nothin' about it (Gangsta Grizzillz)
I'd rather be feared than loved
Quick time or slime
Loyalty or respect
I'd rather be feared
I'd rather be feared than loved
I'd rather be feared
So soulful
Oh, baby
