The Ups And Downs |
| See, I was born in the 70's |
| I learned what life is about in the 80's and shit you know |
| I’ve learned my lesson |
| And I don’t even know where the 90's went |
| Oh shit |
| Yo, 4 18, 71, a mother second child, mother’s first son |
| Daddy on the run, sippin on that rum |
| Growing up on my house son, was nothing like run |
| It was me, nicky and my mother |
| She used to roll weed on michael jackson album cover |
| Smokin with a younger brother |
| His name was uncle jean, first gun I ever seen |
| First thug I ever seen |
| From then yo I had a dream |
| Lazy boy from was playing in the couch |
| Everyday she scream and shout she gonn kick this nigga out |
| The sweetest shit get deep, hit my mama |
| I tried to stab him in his slip |
| Caught attempt murder charge, I was only 9 |
| A young brooklyn nigga, thinking with a hustler mind |
| At the supermarkets, packing bags for change |
| But you can’t buy nikes with bags of change |
| These nickels and dimes ain’t adding up |
| Plus my mama had 2 jobs, she had a rush |
| Late the boy had asthma, I had to pump |
| I was tired of being broke, man I had enough |
| I went from good to bad, from bad to worse |
| Now I’m at the supermarket, snatching up purse |
| Hanging out with the open crowds, they was always loud |
| But no doubt, I hold it down like the … |
| I done been there, done that, been back, seen it all |
| I ain’t really care, I never had something called my own |
| Life in the streets got a way of coming round |
| Through the ups and the downs, the ups and the downs yeah |
| Through the ups and the downs |
| Through the ups and the downs |
| There was a… between, that mean nobody home |
| Pops in the streets, he was a rollin stone |
| So I took to the streets, I was all alone |
| I was raised on the corner by the payphone |
| In high-school, all I’m aging it was getting high |
| I kicked out the house, cause all that hold was a lie |
| I stood up to him, I looked up in his eyes |
| I’m only 17 and I’m already his size |
| I looked up to the hustlers chaz in particular |
| He hustled on the block for extra curricular |
| This cold was killin him, but nothing like … |
| But I ain’t seen chaz man since the feds picked him up |
| A young nigga tryina find my way in life |
| By myself on the block almost every day and night |
| Tryina face my fears, I was running scared |
| Runnin in the streets but real, no one was there |
| Some niggas do anything for drugs |
| And truth is known for taking everything you love |
| Money, cars, souls, and everything above |
| I put that on my life and everything I love |
| See I was born in the world feet first |
| I heard the beat so I wrote a deep verse |
| Tell me what you get when you leave the earth |
| Nothing, just your face on a t shirt |
| I done been there, done that, been back, seen it all |
| I ain’t really care, I never had something called my own |
| Life in the streets got a way of coming round |
| Through the ups and the downs, the ups and the downs yeah |
| Through the ups and the downs |
| Through the ups and the downs |
