| Yeah, we gotta do what we gotta do out here man
|
| Gotta make these streets, feed us man
|
| Ain’t nobody else gon do it, boys is out here hungry
|
| Trying to get it, anyway they can
|
| So this what we gon do, listen
|
| Your boy ain’t trying to be the hardest, I’m just trying to be a grown man
|
| Live prosper and see money, and touch it with my own hands
|
| Worship God help people, and don’t let life defeat me Show love, and treat people how I would want 'em to treat me I speak with such geekness, some question my streetness
|
| A mistake, if you ever take my kindness for weakness
|
| Hard times I beat that, done took heat and gave heat back
|
| Been drawed on by police, and shot at by street cats
|
| Discriminate on no money, nine to five or hood money
|
| The rap game done helped me, turn bad money to good money
|
| Done had sex and made love, ran game and played love
|
| But right now, a million dollars couldn’t make me trade love
|
| Never sold crack I sold pills, just wisdom and cold skills
|
| But in my city ain’t no deals, that should jack cars and show grills
|
| And that’s backwards, the game is getting faker every year
|
| People base a artist, off of what they see not what they hear
|
| I’m speaking, from my heart homie
|
| I been trying to keep it straight up, from the start homie
|
| But these evil faces, ripping me apart homie
|
| I’m trying to make people, appreciate my art homie
|
| I’m in this world, still trying to find my way man
|
| Still patiently waiting, on my day man
|
| But I’m running out of good things, to say man
|
| And suicide ain’t a option so I pray man, that’s what it is dude
|
| Reality I sip from, you want some come get some
|
| They say K you ought not rap so much, about the Nation of Islam
|
| But kill that, the N.O.I. |
| backs me and I back them
|
| And they don’t pay enough money, to make your boy attack them
|
| You want me, you take my subject matter like I leave it Me sell out for a record deal, I can’t even conceive it Life ain’t all about the money, love of money’s our opponent
|
| If my ties to Islam block me from a deal, then I don’t want it Whether radio or industry, you fake I’ma attack y’all
|
| You can’t black ball, a man that’s already been black balled
|
| All states get slapped on, punks with bra straps on And I ain’t no studio gangsta, trying to hide behind a rap song
|
| In the park you gotta fight, you a mark get out of sight
|
| Your bark’s worse than your nite, what’s in the dark come to the light
|
| Must be crazy, if you think that I would ever feel another man
|
| The mic be in my left, the murder weapon in my other hand
|
| And none of these stuck up left females, I been tied
|
| Yeah girl you look good, but you a monster on the inside
|
| Messed up in the head, frustrated and depressed
|
| Thinking what a man is driving, is a measure of success
|
| I’m stressed out and rolled down, half my dreams to’down
|
| And 85 percent of the folks I ever met, was low down
|
| No nuts you better grow em, got hands learn to throw em And you can hang around a person all your life, and still don’t know em That’s so true, but that’s a part of life you gotta go through
|
| Like being po', and working at a job you hate to go to
|
| I guess I start mobbing, I’m hungry tired of starving
|
| My gal running me crazy daily, now I’m tired of arguing
|
| Need something to uplift me, the game is real shifty
|
| J-Flex is doing thirty years, and Pharoah doing fifty
|
| And Aftermath done did ten, my boy Guy did fifteen
|
| And these cakes is out here acting hard, when they softer than whipped cream
|
| My enemies unjustly, tell lies when they disgust me You shocked because I never trusted you, I barely trust me Can’t touch me, you out there everyday I’m kinda rusty
|
| Say you ain’t jealous the way my name is in your mouth, you must be |
