| Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight, I’m gone
|
| Goodnight Shirley, so leave the lights back on when I come home
|
| I went to sleep late, but I woke up early
|
| Kissed the game goodbye, baby goodnight Shirley
|
| Proud problems and swallowed it, even dealt with a lot of lip
|
| Had to put up with politics, never even acknowledged it
|
| I just kept on grinding and knew that the people’s with me
|
| Even dealt with some hate, inside of my own city
|
| But I rised above it, didn’t think nothing of it
|
| I made music for the people and everybody loved it
|
| Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight (x4)
|
| I went to sleep late, but I woke up early
|
| Kissed the game goodbye, baby goodnight Shirley
|
| Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (x2)
|
| I’m sick and tired, lord I’m trying to change
|
| To tell the truth, I finally said goodbye to the game
|
| Eyes bloodshot red, I’m high as a parasail
|
| Yeah, my fat ass made a living off a fucking set of scales
|
| And I remember back when we was at it, we was broke
|
| We ain’t had nothing going so we had to sell dope
|
| When we used to hit the studio they thought we was a joke
|
| Nobody could have predicted that this shit would finally blow
|
| Man we came up from the bottom I mean close to the trap
|
| And by the bottom I mean down there with the roaches and rats
|
| Now that I got a little money, I don’t know how to act
|
| My city love me back when I ain’t even know how to rap |
