| Every time I wake up, fuck turning up my swag
|
| That’s something that I done had since a young’n
|
| I think of what I’m gonna do to keep this money coming
|
| I think of what I’m gonna do to keep the food on the table, in my family’s tummy
|
| What to do, to keep these folks from taking another one of my niggas from me
|
| The let us out on papers just to have a revocation
|
| Meeting months later, trying to me on some false accusations
|
| They want back up in the system
|
| We the victims
|
| Of slavery
|
| It’s still alive
|
| If you think otherwise, suggest you open up your eyes
|
| And face reality, of what’s going on with you and me
|
| Aye, We’re just on a longer leash
|
| With a few more opportunities
|
| Then they had in the past
|
| My grandma busted her ass and she still ain’t got no Medicare
|
| Car crash, she needs money from everywhere
|
| Just to pay off all these high ass bills
|
| I’m tryna put in high ass crib, sitting on the hill
|
| So I know I gotta hustle
|
| I can’t go legit, then I won’t make shit
|
| Gotta make sure my mama lives behind the black fence
|
| Only seven bucks an hour from the government?
|
| That don’t make sense
|
| And then they telling me to fill out they little application
|
| If it ain’t about no money by all means, motherfuck your conversation
|
| They same shit goes on
|
| Take a look around you, there’s so much that goes wrong
|
| And the folks still tryna hold us down
|
| Things will never change
|
| They gone always be the same as long as the world goes round and round
|
| World goes around
|
| World goes around
|
| World goes arooooundddd
|
| Ain’t nothing popping about no broke niggas
|
| Ain’t no jokes
|
| Don’t want to kick it with my folks
|
| Just been smoking 'ports
|
| Figure I’m tryna smoke the pain away
|
| I ain’t seen nothing but some rainy days
|
| Lately, I’ve been wondering when the sun comes out
|
| Will I switch positions, then another young nigga’s gun comes out
|
| Point it at me and tell me to take off the chain, give me your change
|
| Nigga, wrong move and that’s your brains
|
| I gotta have that
|
| Another statistic, caught up living this life of crime
|
| Can’t really blame his decisions, they’re made from hard times
|
| I was doing the same shit until Ricky and Black came and sat me down
|
| Still robbing after that, look at how shit goes around
|
| How the fuck them birds fall from out the sky like that?
|
| Why the Lord let D.J. |
| die and make me cry like that?
|
| The same old shit, innocent ones who fall flat
|
| Younger than those who be snitching for confidential snacks
|
| Or the time they getting for crimes they committing
|
| Those the ones I feel like shouldn’t be living
|
| (Niggas got no responsibility)
|
| I’m tryna figure how these habitual molesters
|
| That I keep sitting next to
|
| Sentences always be the lesser, to a dope presser
|
| My nigga, Woo, got thirty years for that white girl
|
| I know amigo got ten years for playing with little girls
|
| Open your eyes and tell me what you see in your world
|
| Make get better but won’t shit change… |
