Porter, you a real nigga, man

It all started with a Starter coat

The starter pistol got us out the momma jokes

The house party finally started, now it's time to go

Get some pussy sponsored by the barber and a bar of soap

I'm stealing cars with illogical

But on the bright side, they taught us how to drive 'em doe

We used to tilt them bitches with screw drivers

So I'm kinda used to being at the bottom of your columns, ho

But the Billboard list was kinda comical

How the fuck was it designed and chronicled

I can see it now for sho'

Bunch of blases from a buncha artists with a timeless flow

Gettin' trampled over on a 20 year old blogger flow

If 'Pac ain't on your list then you ain't fuckin' logical

I'm talkin' other shit, not no fuckin' 504

What you gon' tell me when I tell you 'Pac introduced me to the UNLV Starter coat

It all started with a Starter coat

Wonderin' why Brenda threw that baby in the garbage fo'

On my way to cop my navy blue Starter coat

It all started with a Starter coat

The starter pistol kept niggas out here from startin' smoke

Without it I'd be dead or be an artichoke

The 9 iron armor in the heart of gold

Nobody witchu nigga that's the Art of War

Do not forget you fuckin start it doe

(Woah, what kinda coat is that?) Starter coat

I grew up with three brothers

As soon as I was born my mom collapsed

And I had to be hooked up to a ventilator

Now a nigga shining doe

Growing up a gave a lotta niggas shiners doe

I gave a lot of people my respect

Daddy taught me that one growing up

He threw me through a shower door

I used to wonder why my uncle looking startled fo'

Crawlin' around all on the ground like his heart is broke

I found out he got a crack problem and he thought he dropped a couple particles

Well I'm a fucking alcoholic so

Who am I to judge I'm just honorable

I be temporarily in love when I'm inside a ho

I'm a pure artist I don't need to see the charts to know the art is under our control

Highs, lows, problems, pain, drama that's what's optimal

I guess I'm just the best at thanking God and feeling awesome doe

Cause I survived the era of the Starter coat

It all started with the Starter coat

I lost my virginity aboard the fucking Bible boat

I ain't graduate on time

I ain't go to college so

A couple friends of mine did

Other friends of mine dead

I'm fuckin reminded

Just because I made the most money

That don't mean I went the farthest doe

I hope my college friends reminded

You got the keys that don't mean you the smartest doe

Mo' money, mo' problems

I lost plenty mo' marbles on my marble floor

Then I left in my Starter coat

What they taught us that was all a joke

You may not got a lotta dollars at least you got a post

I'm arguing with Satan screaming "I don't barter souls!"

Please don't take my memories of me and my Starter coat

What kind of coat is that? Starter coat

What kind of coat is that? Starter coat

What kind of coat is that? Starter coat

What kind of coat is that? Starter coat
