THE FRONTLINE - Now U Know lyrics

[Asshole Records Intro]

[Chorus x2]

Why Why Why Why (That's Oakland)

Yee Yee Yee Yee (That's Richmond)

Hey Hey (That's Frisco)

And if you ain't from the Bay now your ass know

[Left]

Now somebody told me not to rep the Bay

Why not? This is where I stay

They said we was dead and stuck in a grave

And living off songs we made back in the day

So i'm gonna take the book and start turning pages

And expose the fact that they stealing Bay shit

And I ain't talking about popping collars and slanguage

I'm talking about the moves they made to make it

Artist making labels started with P for sure

That's Bay, we all entrepreneurs

We all doing our thing because Bay niggaz ain't no punks

Distribution popping outta the trunk

Partner, and don't think we see the relation

Between radio, mixtapes, and compiliations

And how you come out here on our radio stations

And say you love the Bay but can't name the places

(Yeah)

[Chorus x2]

[Locksmith]

Yo, we got a little dilemma, man

Niggaz are really bitter, they caught up in the mental, man

I'm in the middle it's about to give me a mental strain

Everybody's tickled but none of them niggaz get it, man

I know they just really wanna get rid of me

I'm not a victim, I listen as they belittle me

Then I just take the negative energy

Put it in my lyrics and spit it at my enemies

I disregard small affairs

Treat 'em like hopscotch and step all over squares

Scrutinizing me because I got the song on the air

But niggaz should understand that I belong over here

Yeah, nigga it's long overdue

They telling you different, then nigga it's far from the truth

In actuality, nigga, we starving like you

Nobody stepped up until we started to

[Chorus x2]
