| Nigga things, change, never stay the same
|
| Now watch me come up, I hustle, I hustle even harder
|
| I put that work in to win, no problem
|
| All money ain’t good money, this I know
|
| But I still love hood money, I gets my dough
|
| And as a youngster, a nigga went to so much church
|
| And still turned out fucked up, I did so much dirt
|
| Chose to bang the neighborhood, I put in so much work
|
| Did a whole lot of time, caused mom so much hurt
|
| On everythang, that boy wasn’t gunned on purpose
|
| Who knew that all my darkness was really gon' surface
|
| I was stuck on that bullshit, just runnin the streets
|
| Without some type of beef the week wasn’t complete
|
| It’s like a nigga feel better after dumpin his heat
|
| On feet, just to see that body slumped in the seat
|
| Was like a whole nother rush to me, bustin was sweet
|
| Now I’m smarter, I’m all about somethin to eat
|
| I’m on the road, spend 30 days a month in a suite
|
| But I’m still gon' hustle and cheat, let’s go
|
| Yeah, uhh, now walkin down the block without’cha weapon
|
| Is a first class ticket to a lesson
|
| I thirst cash, kick it to perfection, me and Ben got a connection
|
| That’s why I bring the Benz to impress him
|
| Heart in my zone, all alone homes rattle in my bones
|
| Cause he yappin off his lips and if I hit him I’ll be wrong
|
| Cause he ain’t never gon' be shit, and I done worked so hard
|
| But I will make you a corn on the cob, you’ll be performin for God
|
| Either that or rob you on your boulevard
|
| Bet you never thought for a second niggas’d pull your card God
|
| I’m on my job, scarred since my nigga gone
|
| HP tatted on me so his memory lives on
|
| Engagin in drama without your bomber’ll
|
| Be funeral arrangements for your mama
|
| I learned that when I was in pajamas watchin Michael and Madonna
|
| Now I got the appetite of a pirahna, nigga
|
| What nobody knows, all the roads you go through
|
| You can’t even talk to those that supposedly know you
|
| Some of the levels that these people’ll go to for crumbs
|
| Damn, tell me, is this what that dough do?
|
| That’s when you find yourself talkin to Pro Tools
|
| There’s not too many that ever walked in the Loc shoes
|
| Or tell the tale that my heart contains
|
| I explain, so many different parts of pain
|
| I’m clean, but still some marks remain
|
| From the past, when that kush weed sparks the brain
|
| The cash made some people start to change
|
| I feel hate when I pulled up and parked the Range
|
| Your damn right I got rich, but my heart the same
|
| And practice makes perfect with the art of aim
|
| You ain’t really got the heart to bang
|
| You ain’t start to hang, 'til you found out I caught the chain |
