Ay this tape bout to be a classic
You are now listening to 8 for 8 by TXMIYAMA the muthafuckin' Jap Boy
Big up my cousin Kazu, big up Justin, I'm prayin' for you Stef I see you
Shoutout to the mandem
Yo where the hood at, Chungking Mansions, Jordan, Hung Hom, Wan Chai
Ozu Gang in this muthafucka
Yeah, Knowstate all day
HK til I die bitch
Heard you put money on my head
But the hitters were my boys so they grilled you instead ha
In this city you will never get respect
Now I can pay my rent with a 20 minute set Jap Boy
You livin' in my shadow I'm ya landlord
Ride round with Jimmy 120 on the dashboard
No one cared when I rapped outta Kwun Tong
5 Years later and I opened up for Trap Lord
No you can't tell me nothin'
Bring the whole block out to see if he bluffin'
I remember Kazu and I always had each other back
It was just me and him that's my muthafuckin' cousin on God
Made 100k off Taobao, 12 dollar char siu fan in the da bao yeah
Can't hear myself up on stage this my town gang in the background
Left for a bit but I'm back now no I don't miss
Shoot my shot and I know I'm gon hit, swish
Shorty gon' wait til I'm off work and she got a man so I know he gon' trip
Cuz everybody know Im'a come up
Fall back even though I know could fuck her
If he got a problem, tell him he can run up
I won't say it twice, did I st-st-stutter
Brand new kicks still walk through the gutter
Good in the city give a fuck bout numbers
Chungking mans show me love like I'm Runner
And I pray everyday for Stefan that's my brother
I am more scared of my mother than cops and
She moved to Japan, so give me the smoke
Roberto done told me your card was nice
So I told him to cut up your shit as a roach
Went from lomein to full course meals up in Posto
Ian and the Desi Boys be the bros though
Kwun Tong minibus up on Des Voeux Road
Flashbacks playin' in slow-mo, uh, yeah
Barely no one knows
Ay that was withdrawal, not the Holy Ghost goddamn
Mama look where I'm at
And to think that I should've been an overdose
I was leanin' off codeine, Back then they ain't want me
Dinner on the corner eatin' lomein
I lived in a house like a cell
No windows it felt like jail
I was leanin' off codeine, Back then they ain't want me
Dinner on the corner eatin' lomein
I was rock bottom now I'm on top yeah
Left me on read, now they wanna talk
Elevator full of piss, hookers on the strip
止咳水 when I needed me a fix, no I didn't have a clique
I didn't have shit, but just off the swagger
I could take away your bitch
Ain't nothin' changed but my number and the crib
Fuck fame, I just wanna put the gang in the vids
I done put my boys on the list, now they all up in the venue
Startin' fights, smokin' weed, talkin' shit
I was takin' out trash, washin' glasses
The ones who were laughin' now want shots for free
The city show me love and I keep every dollar
Told a label what the fuck, can you offer me so I'm
Down with Knowstate and DJ Seth cuz we go way back like VHS
All my day ones, forty deep at the shows and it's fuck Hollywood I'm good on Hollywood Road, Jap Boy
