Down And Out |
Life a funny thing, we all wanna shine like diamond rings |
Live like kings, and achieve childhood dreams |
Lord be my witness when I say we all need you |
Cause where I’m livin' ain’t nothing but hustlin' gon' feed you |
Many say the negativity shouldn’t be glorified |
Eyes wide when they realize a nigga live and die |
The shit I speak, but don’t nobody give a damn |
Nigga hung up, on what I got and who I am |
Save me, from this evilness that made me |
Ain’t nothin' shakin' if you ain’t talkin' 'bout payin' me |
The route to all evil don’t seem bad |
When dreams of havin' it is all I ever had |
Nobody wants you when your down and out |
Can’t find, no one |
He blessed me, oh yeah, you could say that |
A Southern cat, puttin' Tennesee on the map |
With rap, hip-hop until they pop me and my heart stop |
Thinkin' 'bout the things I did to get me where I got |
Are where I came from, ain’t nothing easy about it |
I got 'bout it, and got the fuck up out it |
Crab ass niggas wanna see me broke |
Because I’m flippin' like a kingpin sellin' legal dope |
Quote what I wrote, gettin' smoked with your guys |
Hopin' I demise, I can see it in your eyes |
The same nigga tryin' to smoke a sack with me |
Be the same bitch talkin' 'bout jackin' me |
That’s when Ricardo called the killers and they always ready |
Nightmares for your fam 'bout them bullets in your belly |
Image is everything, and skill is twice that |
And don’t nobody want you when your ass is broke flat |
Nobody wants you when your down and out |
Can’t find, no one |
No one to turn to when your luck is up (where you gonna turn to?) |
Can’t find, no one (there's no one to turn to) |
These streets, can be so mean to men |
Crack and guns take dreams from men |
In the blink of an eye, go from dusted to the rich |
And watch how many people start ridin' your dick |
Oh, you the man when your flippin' through the town on chrome |
But who gon' really be your nigga when that bullshits gone? |
Uh |
You think it’s funny, but ain’t nobody laughin' but you |
When I done seen what a broke ass nigga will do |
Jack, sell crack to get they life on track |
Some say I glorify, but all I do is tell the facts |
I done seen garbage sacks full of hundred stacks |
Rich cats lose it all fuckin' with P packs |
People say make the money change things around you |
And not you, but that’s some hard shit to do |
Remember this when your hustlin' and have doubts |
Nobody want you, when a nigga ass out, uh |
Nobody wants you when your down and out |
Can’t find, no one |
No one to turn to when your luck is up (where you gonna turn to?) |
Can’t find, no one (there's no one to turn to) |
Nobody wants you when your down and out |
Can’t find, no one |
No one to turn to when your luck is up (where you gonna turn to?) |
Can’t find, no one (there's no one to turn to) |
