Yeah… Uh-huh… Deeznutz in the house. You know where I’m from. Sesame Street, baby. I grew up where the pavement was made outta chalk, Where the monsters hang out and the pigeons all talk, Raised by Ernie, yeah, that’s my old man, Rubber duck in the crib, had a rattle in hand. We was broke on the block, had a hole in the floor, Had to knock three times just to get through the door, Big Bird on the corner, six-foot-three, Told me, “Watch yourself, son, Oscar’s lookin’ for me.” Ain’t nothin’ but a letter-G thang, Baby, you know how we do, Deeznutz in the hood— Ain’t nobody colder than who? DEEZ! NUTZ! Yeah, I said the name, From A to Z on Sesame Street, Deeznutz run the game. My pops taught me game, said, “Son, keep it cool,” Then he sent me to school where they teach you the rules. Countin’ dirty money? Nah, countin’ to ten, Missed one number—had to start over again. Cookie on the corner with his hands in the stash, Said he’d give me a piece if I spotted the cash. But I knew that fool was addicted to sweets, He ain't been clean since he hit Sesame Street. Grover came through like, “Excuse me, my friend,” I said, “After you, Grover—Deeznutz don’t offend.” He said, “Oh, gee! I have heard of your fame!” I said, “You’re too kind, blue boy— Remember the name.” Ain’t nothin’ but a letter-G thang, Straight from Sesame Street, Deez got the alphabet And the alphabet got heat. Ain’t nothin’ but a letter-G thang, I’m a legend in my zone, Even Elmo says my name When he’s recording from home. My mama said, “Son, don’t you ever start fights,” But pops had a rubber duck doing drive-bys at night. Ernie in the alley like, “Bert, watch my back,” Bert said, “Ernie, please, I’m just trying to read this book, jack.” Oscar got a trash can posted up on the curb, Talkin’ mad reckless like he ain’t got a nerve. He said, “Who do you think you are, acting so tough?” I said, “Deeznutz, my friend. Have you not heard enough?” I learned about sharing, I learned how to care, Learned that everybody deserves a fair share. But don't get it twisted, I'm still from the hood— I'll split this cookie with you… if Deeznutz says you should. They said Big Bird was the biggest name in the game, Then Deez showed up and they forgot his name. Count can count, but he can't count my clout, And when Deez walks in, even Oscar comes out. Ain’t nothin’ but a letter-G thang, You know the name, you know the game, Deeznutz on Sesame Street— Put some respect on the name. Ain’t nothin’ but a letter-G thang, From the playground to the block, I’m the king of 1-2-3, And alphabetically hot. This song was brought to you by the letter G, and the numbers 4, 2, and zero. Deeznutz. Stay in school.
