| Seen niggas lose lives over eightball money
|
| Seen crack babies grow up to serve they mommy
|
| Can’t explain why we live with so much sorrow
|
| Guess the stories of today’ll be a movie tomorrow
|
| Mama always said there’d be days like this
|
| Ain’t got my own pot so in the alley I piss
|
| I’ll risk my own life to be rich
|
| Workin' like a slave for them chains and whips
|
| I daydream around palm trees
|
| Blowin' haze in the day summertime breeze
|
| But in reality I just blow my breath
|
| Let the Michigan cold numb my flesh
|
| I need a tissue cus my nose is runnin'
|
| Faced harsh winters, locked hot summer
|
| Fuck the president and the next running
|
| None of them niggas gon' let me hold something
|
| Take one step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets nowhere like that
|
| I take one step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets through life like that
|
| I take one step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets through life like that
|
| Take one step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets nowhere like that
|
| At night I lay in bed and just pray I can sleep
|
| Think about my life with the TV on the blink
|
| Starin' at the ceiling, I just think
|
| Should I write my own will but I ran outta ink
|
| Ask God questions almost every day
|
| I almost get my answers a damn year later
|
| I rolled in (…) (…)
|
| Spit for crack babies
|
| Layin' incubators
|
| This is for my niggas workin' nine to five
|
| They wanna beat they boss ass but they gotta survive
|
| For the ones who hustle, had to slow up
|
| Cause they wanna be around and see they kids grow up
|
| My boy got a chain for his thirteenth birthday
|
| Went to school, niggas jumped him the next day
|
| Truthfully, they took his honesty
|
| Cause now my nigga locked up for two armed robberies
|
| One step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets through life like that
|
| I take one step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets nowhere like that
|
| I take one step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets through life like that
|
| I take one step forward and two steps back
|
| Nobody gets nowhere like that
|
| Yeah-yuh
|
| That’s how it is sometimes you know
|
| Shout out to all my niggas with they dreams though man
|
| Don’t give up
|
| You gotta keep movin' man
|
| All my Detroit niggas, we fucked up
|
| We gon' make it outta this shit man… |
