What |
|
This.. this here's real, nigga |
|
It's real, nigga |
|
Too real |
|
Pay attention even though i'm young, nigga |
|
Look, look |
|
This one here's on tha up, dog |
|
For all my people with bad luck, dog |
|
Strugglin', tryin' ta make a buck, dog |
|
For all tha peeps who ain't with us, dog |
|
For all my niggas in angola, stay tough, dog |
|
See, this from shorty on tha real |
|
I'm tired of seein' my niggas gettin' killed |
|
They hustlin' for a mil, nigga, hustle for your bills |
|
If ya think ya need help, holla at me, wodie, i'm trill |
|
If i got it ta spend, then i got it ta kill |
|
But listen, man.. i know ya see tha ice glistenin', man |
|
I know it make you wanna go get it bad |
|
But ya gotta think 'fore ya move, partna |
|
'cause it'll make your ship sink and you will lose, partna |
|
I know you hate ta take it from a young nigga like me |
|
But i betcha can't name one nigga like me |
|
That's why i'm tryin' ta preach, my nigga |
|
And teach, my nigga |
|
If ya don't work ya don't eat, my nigga |
|
(chorus 2x [juvenile]) |
|
They got a million and one things that you could be doin' |
|
Than hangin' around this mother****er talkin' to your children |
|
Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it |
|
It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it |
|
[juvenile] |
|
Look at ya, you're ****in' up and i can tell it too |
|
What is ya smokin'? everything a nigga sellin' you?! |
|
I know you could do better than that, and deserve more |
|
Ya use to be tight with your game back in '84 |
|
All tha hoes use ta jock ya |
|
Niggas use ta knock ya |
|
Stay a big shot, mother****er couldn't stop ya |
|
Then ya went ta runnin' 'round tha project with them junkies |
|
Holes in your shoes, and your body all funky |
|
Lips all ashy, eyes popped out |
|
Spendin' your children check, takin' food out they mouth |
|
And you get mad with me 'cause i don't wanna give you ten |
|
I don't support your habit, nigga, y'all grown men |
|
I got kids ta feed, i got bills ta pay |
|
I got people comin' askin' for shit everyday |
|
I can't please everybody, but i love my folks |
|
If i give ya everything, baby, i'ma be broke |
|
(chorus 2x) |
|
[turk] |
|
Look... look.. look |
|
Where i stay, times is hard for a lot of my peeps |
|
Some of my rounds doin' bad.. can't even much eat |
|
Everytime i pass through, beggin' me for a dollar |
|
Thinkin' i owe them somethin', don't even wanna holla |
|
Nigga who use ta be ballin' ain't ballin' no mo' |
|
I can see they life fadin' away slowly for sure |
|
Niggas who i come up with get me full of that dope |
|
Use ta care about theyself, ain't care no mo' |
|
Niggas want me ta help 'em.. ain't helpin' theyself |
|
You must be out your mind if you ain't helpin' yourself |
|
Ain't no love loss... i just gotta stay my distance |
|
Gotta keep my mind straight.. before i come up missin' |
|
Gotta do my rap thing, and make my paper, mister |
|
Ain't gon' let nobody stop me from gettin' my six figures |
|
Gettin' my shine on, bling-blingin' everyday |
|
If you're not for tha right, stay tha **** out my way, nigga |
|
(chorus 2x) |
|
[b.g.] |
|
Everytime i hit tha block, it look like it get worse |
|
Make me wonder if v.l. and magnolia got a curse |
|
My niggas still my niggas... got love for 'em all |
|
I hate to see that market ride they back and make 'em fall |
|
Somebody tell me, if i didn't have change and i was broke |
|
Would i get tha same attention when i'm in tha next four-door |
|
No, i don't think so, i'll be a equal nigga |
|
On the set, smokin' jo's, beggin' people for scrilla |
|
On the reala... if i could do it, then you could |
|
Lay your hustle down and make your way out the hood |
|
Ain't nobody gon' give no hand-outs, i swear |
|
Ain't nobody gon' pay tha bills in your house, i swear |
|
They don't care, ya gotta stand on your own, my nigga |
|
You ain't no child, look in tha mirror, you're grown, my nigga |
|
Do yourself a favor: leave tha heroin alone, my nigga |
|
And get your hustle on, nigga, get it on, my nigga |
|
(chorus 4x) |
|
[juvenile talking] |
|
Man, you could be out here tryin' ta do somethin', man |
|
I mean everytime we come through, man, i do somethin' for my people, man |
|
I give tha little kids a dollar or so, ya know what i'm sayin' |
|
I try ta do things for tha football team |
|
Try ta take care of my people |
|
Try ta show them how ta help theyself |
|
'cause they got a lot of problems |
