Over The Stove Lyrics

[Intro]
Check it out partner
I don't wanna see nobody out here from 10 to 2
You see dude right there? You see dude right there?
We a lay something down out here mane
I'm getting money out here mane this me
And ain't gon' nobody gon' run me outta here mane
I got this late night shift

[Chorus]
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove

[Verse 1]
I'm in this rap game, dope game, tired of pushing cocaine
Hoping I'ma blow man, one day someday
Suckers in my mix man, he say, she say
Dress up like a bitch man, all day e'ryday
Selling promethazine, hopping weed, crystal meth, and bricks
Independent rappers dealing with radio politics
After parties, merchandises, shows, and verse licks
Internet and type of twitting tryna strike it rich
Fussing with my broad 'cause I ain't got a jaw
I ain't hittin' them draws, she calling me a dog
Grabbing and complaining like she goin' through menopause
Breaking out my window for scratching up my calls
I ain't got time for this shit, I'm way too silent for this
I got money to get, I'm 'bout to find this bitch
I'm on parole, the government got my soul
They want me back in the beam
To shoot a practice scoop the toilet bowl
Bitch!
[Chorus: E-40]
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove

[Verse 2]
Over the stove in the kitchen cooking cha-cha
With a pickle jar and a pot of boiling water
Add a Smith & Wesson, 30 round choppa
Man I like a nigga who lode it down with this pow pow
I can do whatever I got to do to make it through
'Cause if this rap shit don't work, man I'm telling you
I got mouths to feed, filthy and hella bills to pay
And I believe in myself my nigga, this nigga on his way
And ain't nobody goin' put my hustle to a holt
I'm tryna climb up the rope and wiggle my way up to the top
I got bars for days I'm dope in the studio line stump
Can't let 'em sink my boat because they'll jealousy a plot
I'm hella hungry and I'm starving and I'm thirsty
Pimpin' my money so funny it's telling jokes about me
If I ever catch a brick, I'll buy a realty
I want the fame the cars the feddy and the jewelry
Bitch!
[Chorus: E-40]
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove

[Post-Chorus]
I graduated from a sipper to a burden
I'm over the stove
I can't talk right now my grandma's hands dirty
I'm over the stove

[Verse 3]
I'm a one dollar near fanalited
Hopefully one day in the future I'ma be a cash cow
Kick back and watch my money pile
But until that day arrives, I'ma hustle 'til I rise 'til I blossom
And in the back in they mind they know that I'm a problem
And once I get on this snowman I'm a stay on my birthmark
Long as I play my position to play my part, I'm smart
And I'm a stick with the slang word that I had before, if I make it
Fuck a video ho, she was down when I was foe, can't fake it
I been rapping my ass off man I'm a mess, a mess
When I'm gone, they goin' be saying I was the best, the best
That ever did it and got away with it, living a halfway with it
In and out like the burgers
See the po-po will let'chu walk wherever as long as it's no murders
Long as it's no witness
Keep a low profile stay lowkey, they goin' get off in yo business
Fake it 'til I make it, man I ain't even got krump
If I look like I got some money ain't nobody goin' wanna give me none
Bitch!
[Chorus: E-40]
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove (Stove)
If this rap shit don't work man I'm tellin' ya
I'm over the stove (Stove)
Saying I'm just saying I ain't playin'
I'm over the stove

[Bridge]
I'll steal when I arrive (over the stove)
If they don't give my ass a job (over the stove)
I'll advice street knowledge (over the stove)
If they don't slip my ass to college (over the stove)
I'm tryna stay focused (over the stove)
But I got the eviction notice (over the stove)
I'ma do a nigga in (over the stove)
If I don't get these spins (Bitch!)
Bitch!

[Outro]
Hey you?
Yeah
Man I was out there on the late night shift mane
Uh-huh?
This nigga 40 was out there
Water?
He was out there with the chopper and two runners
Is that right?
Talking about he ain't rapping no mo man that nigga back to trippin'
He over the stove?
Uh-huh
Shit, I mean you know how it go (yeah) but shit slow up, nigga outta get back out there and do something
And you do know that, man nigga out here eating chicken bone toothpicks man
It's that serious
