This song is about a nigga always trying to keep you down | |
You know you got to touch that | |
We made something from nothing and vowed to never tear it apart | |
We turned the street hustle into an art | |
That would quickly change life forever for us | |
No more riding bikes or catching the bus | |
We on the roll up, money to fold up | |
With cognac and cooked yola | |
Got the neighborhood about to blow up, but hold up | |
I see this van sittin', this old cat in a fitted | |
Trying to get your little homey tore up | |
Yo bruh, we ain't working on this corner take your ass on, dog | |
â€~Fore you make me feed your ass to my hogs you fucking fagot | |
I know you want to catch me with this bag so you can hide me | |
Or with my 44 so you can 45 me | |
You put this shit off in our neighborhoods and sweat us | |
And when you finally catch us up you give us letters | |
A cold thing just when a nigga reach his gold man | |
You hand him a case for easing out the dope game and I'm | |
Watching us unfold with the times | |
He don't really want a nigga to climb | |
You'd rather separate me from my family forever | |
Instead of trying to keep us together | |
You motherfuckers would rather keep me down | |
So what I rap about these streets | |
That don't make me be no less of a man | |
Than a person that do work with his hands | |
It's bad enough I got to deal with all these pressures that stand | |
You tryin' to make me stray away from my plan | |
Know what I'm sayin'? | |
I'm from the gutter, where all we had was one another | |
No wheat bread to butter, from one bed to the other | |
All uncles and no brother my mother's at work | |
My grandfather was my dad and when he died it hurt | |
And as I hold back the tears my eye-wells swell | |
I been praying for heaven, I been living in hell | |
And these niggas in my age group is dead or either locked up | |
The bitches no better, they smoked out or knocked up | |
But I still love my hood, that's where it started | |
Ain't no hard feelings, we partners nigga, regardless | |
That's why you always see me coming around | |
â€~Cause I could never turn my back on my town but still I'm | |
Watching us unfold with the times | |
He don't really want a nigga to climb | |
You'd rather separate me from my family forever | |
Instead of trying to keep us together | |
You motherfuckers would rather keep me down | |
Watching us unfold with the times | |
He don't really want a nigga to climb | |
You'd rather separate me from my family forever | |
Instead of trying to keep us together | |
You motherfuckers would rather keep me down | |
Money never changed me | |
Money changed the people around | |
Now they plot to try to keep me down | |
But still I rise like yeast | |
Your whole conversation â€~bout B | |
Fuck a nigga talking bout me, I'm a G | |
The realest motherfucker ever done it | |
You can't continue to pimp me and y'all eat from it | |
So fuck every soul who ever felt like I owed | |
Them a god damn dime, or a god damn rhyme | |
Or a god damn chance, motherfucker you sad | |
You a grown ass man, holding a nigga hand | |
Now get out on your own, stop depending on your homes | |
To chuck you a bone, and stop throwing stones | |
And that goes for everybody thinking it's them | |
Fuck you, you and you her | |
Him and him, Tom, Dick and Kim | |
All of y'all stand accused saying fuck to me | |
And I done bought your children's shoes I'm | |
Watching us unfold with the times | |
He don't really want a nigga to climb | |
You'd rather separate me from my family forever | |
Instead of trying to keep us together | |
You motherfuckers would rather keep me down | |
Watching us unfold with the times | |
He don't really want a nigga to climb | |
You'd rather separate me from my family forever | |
Instead of trying to keep us together | |
You motherfuckers would rather keep me down |
