Six months five years for you just to cop out |
|
Ninth or tenth grade is usually when niggas drop out |
|
Fights break out when you wired and start joking |
|
Alot of OG's retired and started smokin |
|
House party games of spade sweet kool-aid |
|
Loud music all night till the boys in blue raid |
|
So therefore I could never be too paid |

You aint the first fool its cool with us |
|
But why you living out your idols dreams |
|
Remember how for you came and help you keep those thangs |
|
Now its cool that your adress changed |
|
But I'm tryna holla at my dog and the number aint the same |
|
I guess new homies came with his fame |
|
But see true homies will stay the same |
|
Through all the up's and down's in your career |
|
A couple wives few kids scattered here |
|
And when you dead or broke without a deal |
|
All the groupies cleared... The ghetto will still be here |
