Never Talk Down

[Rappin' 4-Tay] You see you never talk down on a playa,
I'll spray ya Then break it down to your knee,
you best to say a prayer This funk been a part of my life ever since
the startin' gate Remember me and my nigga $hort Dog way back in '88?
Broke them bitches down with some sexual
healing And man the town ain't been the same since "
Don't Fight the Feelin'" But now your new booty,
stayed off in this game on a accident Copied another niggas style
Punk don't let this rap shit get you broke off Cause see it's potent
like that ain't right Find a maiden name for yourself,
but don't believe the hype Fool,
who you think opened the door for your producer?
If it wasn't for the Dog and them hogg's you wouldn't have a future
And let me add that I could never be scared of ya Rappin' 4',
born and raised off in that Bay Area Stickin' to that ass like a hot
bowl of grits Hits on top of hits, who you think started this shit?
