| Yeah, T.G.T.C
|
| Hank Gathers, Len Bias
|
| Trying to make it in this game, niggas die trying
|
| Giving up takes more effort than trying
|
| Aaliyah told me «brush ya self off, then try again»
|
| So I did, this is the life that we live
|
| What you expect? |
| No wife, no kids
|
| And I remember everything that we did
|
| So 12 AM we gon' do it again
|
| I need everything I ever wanted right now
|
| Tomorrow ain’t promised girl, we gotta do it now
|
| I wanna see the moon before the sun goes down
|
| A note to self; |
| don’t let me down
|
| Uh, I never wear my heart on my sleeve
|
| Even when Comme des Garçons on me
|
| Some girls like my cologne, it’s all on me
|
| I boost they self esteem, it’s all on me
|
| But you can’t slay em all, can’t win em all
|
| Even the Bulls lost 10 games, that '96 squad
|
| It’s open gym, man, they trying to get chose
|
| I play a good pick up game, I had her at, «Hello»
|
| They only love you when you got something for em
|
| I got nothing but love for em
|
| You know, it’s only right that I show off for em
|
| Pull of in something foreign
|
| My city’s like villains gone bad, and it’s gettin worse
|
| How you cope with the pain when it hurts?
|
| Do you drink to forget? |
| do you smoke when you depressed?
|
| I face it like make up
|
| Where I’m from, I never seen wealth close up
|
| Now I got friends that drive hoopties and Porsche trucks
|
| But I’m far in between, my pops expects more of me, morally
|
| He asks why I don’t come to church? |
| «I went out last night, don’t stone me»
|
| He ain’t perfect and he don’t expect me to be
|
| The prodigal son will return, have faith in me
|
| Until then, where the women and the Hennessy?
|
| Cause I don’t want to be a hypocrite
|
| And I don’t wanna tell folks how to live
|
| If that ain’t me, who are you?
|
| And when it hits the fan, I’m too cool
|
| I never argue with fools
|
| Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, even your own
|
| How could you live in a house that’s not a home?
|
| And I act like I been in the end zone
|
| So when life gives you lemons, tell her to add Patron |
