[Verse 1:]
1992, Deep Cover hit the world and fell in love with Snoop,
Doggystyle came out, it's like I dropped a bomb,
One of the greatest hip-hop records of all time.
I was young gettin' money, livin' wild and free,
Got on and I brought the whole Pound with me,
Didn't matter who's around, I kept it way too G,
Niggas knew it was Eastside LBC.
Gangsta shit, that's what a mothafuckin' gangsta get,
The one up above didn't like my pace,
I was movin' too fast and I caught that case,
I fought that case, wonder where the West would be if I'da lost that case,
I slow mine down, swimmin' with the sharks and I almost drowned.
[Chorus:]
I done made some mistakes along the way
To become the G I am today.
Who had ever thought I'd make this far?
Out the hood to be a big star.
And I ain't goin' nowhere,
Homie, I ain't never comin' down,
I'm too high in the clouds
To ever have to worry 'bout that.
[Verse 2:]
I'm finally out,
And the critics hated on me ‘cause I went to the South,
Said I wasn't gon' shine, had me left for dead,
Switched sides, now my old boss want me dead.
Dropped the first of the three, and you said it was weak,
No Limit Top Dogg, the return of the beast,
So from that point on I know what to do –
Don't worry 'bout them just do what you do.
Last Meal was the one that took me off the leash,
That's the last time a nigga gon' eat off of me,
Stack plaque after plaque, gain millions sold,
I'm the Boss of this bitch and I ain't never went gold, nigga!
[Chorus:]
I done made some mistakes along the way
To become the G I am today.
Who had ever thought I'd make this far?
Out the hood to be a big star.
And I ain't goin' nowhere,
Homie, I ain't never comin' down,
I'm too high in the clouds
To ever have to worry 'bout that.
[Verse 3:]
Boss of the city, boss of the Coast,
Some other niggas tried but none of 'em come close,
They stuck lookin' silly, but nothing like a loc,
The Big Bow Wow, I kill it with one stroke.
Wow! That's what it's about,
They tryna tell a nigga what could come out his mouth.
Mothafucka, I'm a G, but first I'm a man,
Freedom of speech, bitch, is a word you can't ban!
So they blamin' me, sayin' this my talk
To some women as hoes, like it's my fault,
Damn, they lost, man, they just don't know
That a bitch is a bitch, and a ho is a ho.
Let them heaters cock and let them leaders talk,
I'm gon' be smokin' dank, livin' like a boss,
Let them heaters cock and let them leaders talk,
I'mma be smokin' my dank, livin' like a boss, nigga!
[Chorus:]
I done made some mistakes along the way
To become the G I am today.
Who had ever thought I'd make this far?
Out the hood to be a big star.
And I ain't goin' nowhere,
Homie, I ain't never comin' down,
I'm too high in the clouds
To ever have to worry 'bout that.
