'Black & Yellow' - "Everything I do, yeah I do it big / Yeah ahuh, screamin that's nothin' / When I pulled off the lot, that's stuntin' / Reppin in my town, when you see me you know everything / Black and yellow, black and yellow / I put it down from the whip to my diamonds, I'm in / Black and yellow, black and yellow"On that Steel City tip, Wiz makes sure to let everyone know that Pittsburgh is his home.(Photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for EDITION)

'House in the Hills' - "What they don’t talk about the kid that came from nothin’ / Who stuck to what he believed in and turned himself into / something great / They should use that story to motivate / But instead they’d rather focus on the fact that he’s a pothead / Not the fact there’s not a lot where I lived / 25 and not dead"The rapper makes a plea to the media to focus on his rise instead of his 420 affinity.(Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
