Put in game down here, make change down here
Cause I serve them fiends, that raw 'caine down here

T.I. :

You say the wrong thang, get ya back blown round here
Cause gangsta's rep they hood, by the zone round here

In the music video, each rapper portrays the gritty life in their low income neighborhoods they grew up in throughout a single day. Memphis Bleek rapping in some public housing apartments behind him in Brooklyn in the early morning, Trick Daddy raps in front of some low cost apartments, run down houses and stores in Miami in the afternoon/mid-day, and T.I. raps on the front lawn of a house in a low income neighborhood in Atlanta in the evening/dusk.[2] The video features cameos by East Coast rapper Jay-Z and a then-unknown Rick Ross and Pitbull.

The official remix, the "Dirty South Remix", features T.I., B.G., & Big Kuntry King.

gollark: Zig can compile for "NVPTX"? Isn't that some weird GPU assembly?
gollark: I wonder if you could use Zig on arduino-y embedded systems.
gollark: Wow, my network connection is great today.
gollark: BRB right back, installing then never using zig.
gollark: Something like that? It's a bit weird. I don't know exactly how it works.
