| Ah, you still standing on this motherfuckin corner?
|
| Shit ain’t you 30 years old, motherfucker?
|
| Ah, so when I pick up the microphone I know what I’m sayin
|
| Wasn’t long ago was facin the same situation
|
| Carpet got ripped from me pacin
|
| The rent’s a month late, ain’t shit on the way, I’m straight prayin
|
| Ends don’t meet unless you make 'em
|
| The people don’t eat unless you scrape and you see they ain’t playin
|
| Corner store credit is way thin
|
| The World got it’s way of weighin on your shoulders, it’s degradin
|
| It’s like we got frowns tattooed on our faces
|
| The school’s ain’t savin our new generation
|
| Stare at our kids, they need a paradigm shift
|
| The paradox is that parents aren’t shit
|
| Why you got cable? |
| Your life is not stable
|
| Lights not paid for, Nikes on layaway though
|
| It’s like we wanna look good while we drownin
|
| Should grab a paddle and scrap our way out
|
| Life’s not a good when you livin it like this
|
| Leave your lane for a minute, you might flip
|
| It’s like chains on your neck with a tight grip
|
| Use your brain in this shit and you might live
|
| While you in the drug game, my hustle got another name
|
| You dyin, makin somebody rich, it’s the fuckin same
|
| So quick to call a square job, Brother lame
|
| Truth be told, you might wanna choose another lane
|
| Yeah I’m bussin 'til my bitch ass job
|
| You on the corner, pushin them bitch ass rocks
|
| And yes I’m gettin sweated by my bitch ass boss
|
| Your ass steady runnin from them bitch ass cops
|
| This shit don’t stop, the game ain’t new
|
| The pen’s full of dudes who thought the same shit too
|
| That TV is a blind fold, here to keep your eyes closed
|
| Sell your crack and it’s all dough and fly clothes
|
| Shit ain’t nothin like «The Sopranos»
|
| Real talk, you’re probably better off at McDonald’s
|
| Rappers all say they went from hustlin to rhymin
|
| But look, everybody say the other one’s a liar
|
| Man, fuck you Brother Ali
|
| You always runnin your mouth
|
| Just cause you got that rap shit cool
|
| Man we on these streets motherfucker
|
| Get out here and see how it is
|
| It don’t matter about me rappin, my ass is still scratchin
|
| Some day, I’m a be the «yo, remember back when?»
|
| While I’m hear I got to really make it happen
|
| Try to have emergency landing, instead of crashin
|
| Fuck sayin I’ve been here, brother I am here
|
| Might not live here this year but I still care
|
| Not talkin down to you, straight to you
|
| No player hater my dude, it’s plain true
|
| Gotta live like don’t nobody love you but you
|
| As long as your blood move, tragedy could touch you
|
| Struggle ain’t nothin new, cards ain’t gonna always land how you want
|
| 'em too
|
| Fuck it though, thug it through
|
| Can’t give up, as much as you’d love to
|
| There’s certain shit as a man we must do
|
| You God damn right they made it like this
|
| But I ain’t tryin to wait for the day they might fix |
