Yeah…
It’s Chino from the South —
You fools talkin’ like you know me…
But you don’t know what I came from.
I.E. all day. Let’s get it.

🎤 [Hook]
From the I.E., where the real ones ride,
Talk slick, you might not survive that drive.
Whole squad deep, got the South on lock,
From the Dino to the Bay — we connect the blocks.
You don’t know me, but you know my name,
Talk tough, but you’re built on shame.
I don’t trip, I just move in silence,
I.E. made, and I stay with the violence.

🎤 [Verse 1]
It’s Chino from the South, better watch what you say,
Fools talkin’ out they neck, but ain’t never seen my face.
You don’t know the distance, you don’t know the lane,
I’m from the I.E., fool — we don’t play no games.
Just ‘cause I moved states don’t mean I’m soft,
Still pull up quick, leave your whole block lost.
You dissin’ from West Covina like I won’t slide through,
Catch you lackin’ on Alameda, like what it do?
⸻
🎤 [Verse 2]
You mad ’cause I was posted in the South with your girl,
Southgate sessions, blowin’ smoke like a swirl.
Jennifer was with me, in the whip with the tint,
She got hella fur on but still made it make sense.
You never met me, but still got my name in your mouth,
While your girl got passed ‘round like a blunt in the South.
Only way you hit was by throwin’ me shade,
You can’t pull no baddie ’less you drag my name.

🎤 [Hook – Repeat]
From the I.E., where the real ones ride,
Talk slick, you might not survive that drive.
Whole squad deep, got the South on lock,
From the Dino to the Bay — we connect the blocks.
You don’t know me, but you know my name,
Talk tough, but you’re built on shame.
I don’t trip, I just move in silence,
I.E. made, and I stay with the violence.
⸻
🎤 [Verse 3]
I’m a lion in the jungle, steady mind on the feast,
I don’t trip on no monkeys swingin’ loud in the trees.
You hissin’ like a snake while you shed in the streets,
But I walk with real Gs that don’t flex for a tweet.
You clout chasin’, hopin’ that it earn you a shot,
But I been too solid — I don’t fold, I don’t flop.
So go ahead and talk, make your lil’ noise loud,
But we know who the name is that got you so proud.

🎤 [Verse 4 – Street Story / Redemption]
It’s kinda funny, got homies in every section,
From the Dino out to Compton, that’s real connection.
Back then they was like, “You know Chino, right?”
He was posted on the block, wildin’ every night.
But one time got jumped, couldn’t even walk,
He came back strapped with that silence in his talk.
Found the one who set him up, called it out on sight,
Out in the open field, said “run that fade right.”
Dude pulled a blade — man, what a bitch move,
Got nervous, slipped up, wasn’t built for the groove.
Dropped the knife, I kicked it like a field goal snap,
Hit him with the right hook — fool collapsed off that slap.
⸻
🎤 [Verse 5 – Growth & Maturity]
Yeah, that was back then — now I’m on a new wave,
Different mindset, had to break outta that cage.
I don’t diss fools, I just move with cla
