Ayo!
What’s good, boo?
I know I’ve got explainin' to do (word up!)
I’ve got some problems.
— But none of them pertainin' to you!
(uh-uh, uh-uh!)
It’s mostly money, bills, warrants that’s just namin' a few.
I ain’t complainin'!
— Just let me win the game and I’m through.
I get my shit together.
— Stop living off the corner!
Get the majority of my priorities in order.

And in my goal is find a way to get you out the slums,
So we can roll through the neighborhood without the guns.
(uhh!)
And the grind?
— My days is limited.
— Sinnin' and crime,
Time is money but you wonder how I’m spendin' my time.
(c'mon, man!)
Am I really stackin' paper or I’m bendin' a dime?
That’s propaganda!
(propaganda!) — Try not to let that enter your mind!
(aiight!
Yo hon', you listening?
— Cause when it come to flipping ones
And getting bundles in the jungle I’ve got tunnel vision.
Just stay focused (ohh!) there’s alota road
I bridge the gap to get a lot of dough (ohh!), just help me with this pot of
gold.
(uh-huh!)
Cause you was there when the Feds hit me
We took our vows in the penals, so you could do my bid with me.
(word up!)
Private — visits to jail you had a kid with me
Now it’s time (uh!) to get the crib with me, (uh!) live with me.
— C'mon!
I’ve been working for youuu — doin' aaall I can.
(all I can…)
All the tiiime!

If I ain’t there something happened to me, the block is heated.
(pow, pow, pow!)
Just go in the ceilings and the boxes and the closets keep it
I hid the yearly profits (uh!) we get in the Sealy posturepedic.

Last thing I wanna do is leave you a young widow!

But the scent of papi’s easy Miyagi still on the pillow (sssh!)
So I’m a find a way to survive and stay alive.
Don’t let them Lexus scare you!

I spraying nine’s some thorough plus I’m extra careful.
Got something good waitin' for me.
(word up!) — You know I’ll be there, boo.

(sssh!)
But you don’t want nothing if you can’t have me!

Then go legit and handle businesses.

(aight, c’mon!)
I ball for you, score for you, mall for you!
I say: «I'm sorry for the times I was wrong for you.»
Get into your beef for you plus I be loyal (word up!)
I go gutter free for you, (uh!) even flush a key for you.

Right now — I’m ready to change my lifestyle
Pipe down for you, (uh-huh, uh-huh!) lay the pipe down for you (uh-huh, uh-huh!)
