| I reached my lifetime limit on lies
|
| And I reached my lifetime limit on tries
|
| And I’m running low on hellos and goodbyes
|
| So I’m here to stay baby, you know you can wipe the tears from your eyes
|
| Heard your take so many years thought I’d never see the morning sky again
|
| From hearing grown men cry in a cell, that kind of makes it hard to pretend
|
| When you been close to winning it kind of makes it hard to give in
|
| It makes it hard to throw in the towel and that’s never been my style
|
| And around here we still take a beating for our pal
|
| And old ladies when they see us they don’t ever smile
|
| They shake their heads from side to side, look us up and down
|
| But I know where that frustration come from
|
| They look at our generation like a bunch of dumb-dumbs
|
| And I don’t know if that’s wrong or right
|
| But is it wrong for me to just want something different in life
|
| For my family who’s only ever saw poverty
|
| And deep down inside that shit bothers me
|
| I wonder if I’m being the proper man I can be
|
| Don’t leave the drugs alone start working break my back
|
| Til my knees start hurting for five bucks an hour with a boss that’s a jerk when
|
| I can get a brick, flip it and get paid that’s for certain
|
| But if I get caught with a brick, it’s the curtains
|
| [Hook
|
| They say that things are different and it ain’t like it was before
|
| Any young man like myself in life really should want more
|
| Maybe I never knew what’s out there
|
| Maybe I never even cared
|
| Enough to find myself one day pull something out of thin air
|
| Thin air, thin air thin air thin air
|
| Niggas shootin every night can’t hustle on a war block
|
| Baby two weeks old and they sleepin on a warm cot
|
| Hand to hand rock only way on top
|
| Hundred and fifty dollars that I need that’s a long shot
|
| Out on the ave. |
| you know it’s swollen with cops
|
| One said, up against the wall routine stop
|
| Fifteen dimes on me and a sixteen shot
|
| Now I’m upstate with a shake and a slingshot
|
| Gangs run you inside so I’m running with a crew
|
| Niggas from the other side boys saying fuck a truce
|
| They put me in a box they should put me in a noose
|
| Ropes still around my neck even though they cut me loose
|
| A barefoot negro running through the jungle
|
| Every man’s equal try to be humble
|
| So everyday of my life filled with struggle
|
| So everyday of my life I’m gonna hustle
|
| And I can do a hundred pushups trying to push thru
|
| Slice another brother through even if he push you
|
| Fuck what you would do
|
| On the outside no compassion, no questions asked on the inside |
