For the Record

I set it off dogg like a chow mixed with pitbull

Fifty-one cards, don't get ya shit pulled

Many get hit, they draw and hesitate

But I spit a clip of words so raw you levitate

(This for the record) I'm a Golden State Heavyweight

Hustled every way, in the struggle each and every day

A rollin' stone, wherever there's a mic I'm at home

(Just for the record, let it be known)

Most don't understand me, they pretend

And I don't need family, I need friends

And I don't have a Plan B, my A wins

When we spit and Babu spins it sets trends

(Let it be known) Out here it's six minutes you're on

Out here you get elected don't mean you get the throne

It's the land of deception and the cancer's grown

Out here there's only one rule, handle your own

"Just for the record, let it be known"

"Just for the record, let it be known"

"Just for the record", "Just for the record"

"Just for the record, let it be known" (Let it be known)

"Just for the record, let it be known"

"Just for the record, let it be known"

Let it be shown what we did with a thousand and change

From the plants ourselves to Fat Beats changed the game

The last independent group still on a major

That's why rockin' with 1st Infantry is like second nature

(Let it be known) There's so many joints that people gonna sleep on

"Heavy Surveillance", "Insomnia", don't let me keep on

One of best friends is the best producer I know

(Just for the record, let it be known)

Rakaa's a rapper, a reader, writer and fighter

For belts, rings and titles (Just for the record)

Beats, raps and scratches, mixmaster package it

For you to take a couple home (Let it be known)

You in line at the store, on time or online

Even piecin' up their ones (Just for the record)

But uh, others have shown, they'd rather hate their own

They blind like Clayton Bigsby

ABB, Expansion Team put the cake up

Didn't go Gold but we made these cats wake up

Didn't go broke, we still made that paper

We still wake up before you, and go to sleep later

I'm more hungry, more determined than ever

And I'm from Cali, so I don't get sidetracked by nice weather

By the way dogg, that deal you got was a loan

(Just for the record, let it be known)

Comin' from the middle of the City of Angels

Angles

, strangers and girls so dangerous

We kick raps, cop puerto on tracks

And grapple like a G rappin', LL scrap

The team is 1st Infantry

(See L.A.) The fame and the infamy

(They'll both grow) These agencies are tappin' my phone

(Just for the record, let it be known)

"Just for the record", "Just for the record"

"Just for the record, let it be known" (Let it be known)

"Just for the record, let it be known"

"Just for the record, let it be known" (Let it be known)

"Let it be known", "Let it be known"

"Just for the record, let it be known" (Let it be known)
