| Whoa-ohh, we keep risin to the top
|
| Whoa-ohh, and keep eyes out for the cops
|
| Whoa-OHH! |
| And that’s what it’s gon' be
|
| Whoa-OHH! |
| Cause you ain’t gon' stop me
|
| They got you workin two jobs tryin to make ends meet
|
| You just tryin to keep yo' kids off the street
|
| You gotta believe it (best believe if you dream it)
|
| Oh, you better believe it (you too can achieve it)
|
| Uh-oh, they got you locked in a hole, 19 years old
|
| Ten years, no chance for parole
|
| You better believe it (that's right, tell 'em again)
|
| Oh, you gotta believe it (after that, tell a friend)
|
| Ohhh-ohhh
|
| After the sunshine come the rain, after the fun time come the pain
|
| I often wonder if it’s gonna change
|
| I caught a bad case of Smack-a-Bitchy-Itis (what happened?)
|
| I came home, my wife got my daughter in shitty diapers (damn)
|
| The rice is still raw, and the meat is still frozen in the freezer
|
| I hate that I’m too close to her to leave her
|
| Either I hit the street to do some pitchin, knowin these dudes is snitchin
|
| Or die tryin to make it as a musician
|
| My livin condition is not in the greatest position (nope)
|
| And nah I ain’t bitchin, I just gotta make a decision
|
| Should I breeze past, hop out in a ski mask
|
| Rob everything movin and cruise in a G-Class (vroom!)
|
| But keep writin the heat that the street like it
|
| Young’uns is recitin my lyrics, so keep bitin
|
| Y’all niggas thinkin shit is easy, it’s hard
|
| One thing I know I’mma do is keep believin, keep believin in God
|
| After the fast songs come the slow, after the sad songs come some mo' (mo')
|
| This is the life I have come to know
|
| Police is in Marquis', Chevy Caprices stroll
|
| The young hood boogers idolize Keyshia Cole
|
| The rap figures throwin money in the air like it’s pizza dough
|
| People in the hood ain’t eatin though (though)
|
| I tried to help the labels see the vision
|
| But they lowered me to a subdivision, you gotta be fuckin kiddin
|
| They’d rather me pretend to be somethin I’m not
|
| I’m the new Public Enemy, I’m different than Yung Joc
|
| And nah, I ain’t dissin, this nigga’s up in the Forbes
|
| Shit I ain’t made a dollar tryin to rap for the cause
|
| But in these next four bars, I’ll tell you about maleviolent laws
|
| They enforcin on North American shores
|
| Dawg, if they could have rifles on their farms
|
| Then I don’t see why they knocked T.I. |
| for tryin to bear arms
|
| Tell 'em wave at the artist, I feel like I’ll make it regardless
|
| Don’t forget I’m the ex-con that made it the farthest (yup)
|
| Until the day that I lay with the martyrs
|
| Or until the day I’m parlayin, playin with my sons and my daughters (uh)
|
| I’mma remain the smartest, hardest, workin nigga in the business
|
| Just Blaze, can I get a witness?
|
| See that they probably get it if I come out and flop
|
| Get dropped, go back to my block and get shot (pop)
|
| As they puttin my body in that life-size Ziplock
|
| Then you’ll be sayin «Damn, Giddy died for this hip-hop»
|
| Or maybe it’ll tell you to get locked
|
| To another 20 in the rock for them to give me my props
|
| Whatever the case may be
|
| You do a census on who is the sickest lyricist, they say me
|
| And that’s without a album out, y’all rated me
|
| I drop one and I’mma bow out gracefully
|
| Keep keep keep rising, whoa-ohh
|
| Keep keep keep rising, whoa-OHH!
|
| Keep keep keep rising, whoa-OHH!
|
| Keep keep keep rising, whoa-ohh
|
| Woo! |
| We on the radio (we on the radio!)
|
| Yo turn up the radio! |
| (we on the radio)
|
| Yo we got one, now we got the game on lock!
|
| Turn it up! |
| C’monnnnn
|
| We got on the radio, AHH! |
