    Yeah Four, you done finally got that parole-CALL

    I understand that Four, but a lot of people don't know
    What you've done been through bro'
    Man, a brother done been in this rap game for ten years, man
    I've been from hell and back, you know Frank
    But what's gon' have to do
    Is lay it down and lace it up like a shoestring
    Ok, like this here...
    [Rappin' 4-Tay]
    Allow me to take you back down memory lane
    When a player was so young in this rap game
    Yeah, if you had a fight you best to knock a sucker out
    Because moms wouldn't about to let you in the house
    Yeah, we had to throw em' in the days
    Didn't have glock, never seen a twelve gauge
    Wasn't no banging n' gang affiliated deaths
    Brother had to go to school in the days to get a rep
    Always wanted to bust a gang of these raps
    And be the first player to put Frisco on the map
    So add this to the list of them hits that be knockin for the new year
    I'ma vet in this rappin industry, you wet behind the ear
    ************t, I even caught the San Quinton blues
    Used to rock that mother****** every night, I paid my dues
    [Chorus:]
    I talked the talk, but now I'm walking the walk
    What up, fool! Huh yeah! Yeah! What,what!
    [Rappin' 4-Tay]
    Im from the west but I don't ride the saddle
    Used to do a lot of battle,
    But you money are make your trunk rattle
    Ever since the solar system, boys clubbing house parties
    Rap contests at Booker T'S, man it was everybody
    Snatching it taking it swoop on stuff all the way home
    Once me and O' hit the jets, man we was gone
    Up the stairs to the vacabt house, thats we're we prctice at
    We didn't have a studio so man we had to work with that
    No reel to reels, no mic, just the radio
    Paper and oen and I was in, the heart of the ghetto
    Trying to pursue my dream, trying to make things right
    I posted up at other people's shows begging to get the mic
    I was kicking down doors, posted up, like the 49ers
    All I wanted to do was bust a rap before the headliners
    They pushed me to the left, I said alright, that's cool
    Now you call my booking agent, everyday, I paid my dues
    [Chorus:]
    I talked the talk, but now I'm walking the walk
    What up, fool! Huh yeah! Yeah! What,what!
    [Rappin' 4-Tay]
    The difference is you're talking about the game you see I'm living in
    And all my folks R.I.P, I'LL see you in a minute
    Before I cut I gots to shock it cause I'm still pissed
    For my mistakes, court dates and the time I missed
    A lot of deputies in correctional facilities
    I kept they ass up all night, but now they feelin me
    From bangin on the walls and bustin raps off the top ten
    Bet you never though I be the entertainer of the year
    But why not, cause I've got, what it takes to represent
    Crowd could be a hundred thousand, I'm never hesitant
    Just ask Franky J. to drop me an old school beat
    Them funky instrumentals kept me of the streets
    They kept me motivated, I was always underrated
    I bet my real folks wasn't surprised when I made it
    Plus I gave them digits back to the parole board
    So now I'm cool, I'd been paid my dues
    [Chorus:]
    I talked the talk, but now I'm walking the walk
    What up, fool! Huh yeah! Yeah! What,what!
