Hey yo, turn the headphones up a lil' bit |
|
Alright, yea alright, umm, umm, yo yo |
|
Yo, yo, yo, yo ,yo |
|
Yo, ain't no mistakes, they say give and take |
|
And if you know like I know, you gotta live the breaks |
|
Numbing all the dope infested |
|
Unprotected ghetto life style with killer crime records |
|
I make it a point to understand this ain't wonderland |
|
It's either kill or be killed, law of the land |
|
Just to see that my mind expand rapidly |
|
I can't lose sleep, I stay on my feet and flip enough to eat yo |
|
Ain't nothing sweet when milk money ain't enough to feed the tummy |
|
We mummified in this land of milk and honey |
|
Home of the never free, become ghetto celebrities |
|
Living in jeopardy, playing around where some will never be |
|
Take it in stride, thats how we ride through the streets where I'm from |
|
Trying to get some, hoping for the big one seven figures and them some |
|
Make it and spend some, hustling with the man steady taking your income |
|
Ya heard me? |
|
[hook] |
|
See you win some, you lose some |
|
And then you spend some on em' when you choose em' |
|
See it's a cold world, and it's a cold game |
|
But if you learn to give and take it aint no thang [x2] |
|
Nigga break bread with me, stay ahead with me |
|
And if your loyal then you know your gonna fare it with me, say it with me |
|
And play it with me rugged raw style |
|
Respect my mind, I'm looking nothing like your product child |
|
You know I let the beats bang and slowly do my thang |
|
If you can't hang then say you can't hang nigga |
|
What I deliver will give em' shivvers in the night time |
|
And I ain't trippin' I just write rhymes about my lifetime |
|
How I stand secure when the pressure endure |
|
While the rest fall off they ain't sure |
|
To mimick my methods I won't except it if the truth ain't true |
|
I watch em' die in disguise wicked as voodoo |
|
Niggas holler who, what, where, and when you wanna try |
|
Know your dealing with a hustler living it do or die |
|
Don't ask why, my nigga this just fate |
|
In this life we life, you gotta give and take, thats how it operates |
|
[hook] |
|
I'm looking for a ONE-TIME in the summer in the city |
|
Where the girls look good, but they attitudes shitty |
|
With a fifty sack of sticky bailing up G Street |
|
Through the corner projects hauling my heat |
|
I heard they took my partner out the game last week |
|
We come from the same streets now they trying to blast me |
|
More money more murder, I'm cold-blooded and these hoes love it |
|
But thats the quickest downfall and I'm for sho' you know |
|
It's like time keep on slippin' and niggas keep trippin' |
|
So I keep a nine with the clip in |
|
Holstered up hot and heated |
|
You can thank it's a game but come and see it to believe it |
|
You ain't know, I'm representin' out that dirty-dirt |
|
Southside nigga living untrustworthy |
|
You heard me, where word be wicked and rotten |
|
See a gun and nigga fuck what you saw |
|
You know, for sho' |
|
