[Intro]Only thing |
|
I could tell y'all, it ain't like what you think |
|
I'll never speak on my people[Chorus 4X: Master P] |
|
Same thing make you laugh'll make you cry |
|
They claim that they love you then they hate you at the same time[Master P] |
|
It's a shame mayne, |
|
I can't change mayne |
|
They'd rather see me on the block catch two to the brain mayne |
|
I'm tryin to be here for my son to get bigger |
|
And you ain't real 'less you got a gun and droppin a ***** mayne |
|
I try to change my life, |
|
I try to do right |
|
But I feel like a felon on my third strike |
|
Cops pull me over, try to harass me |
|
I seen the |
|
R. Kelly tape but these young girls nasty mayne |
|
And the ghetto is infected with |
|
AIDSI've done seen so many young black males on the pave' |
|
Died with they eyes open, leave momma's heart broken |
|
Got that **** in the hood, *****z still smokin |
|
No education mayne, just inflation mayne |
|
A bunch of ghetto people out here tryin to make it mayne |
|
*****z'll test you when they know you a killer |
|
My people livin for the lottery man scratch 'em and peel 'em |
|
Damn[Chorus][Halleluyah] |
|
I pour out liquor for my *****z who done fell victim |
|
Whether they behind the trigger or the shell hit 'em, listen |
|
I guzzle beers for my brothers that's missin |
|
Whether they in a box or they locked in state prison ***** |
|
Tattooed tears, to represent the day |
|
Of the ones that caught that hot slug to the head mayne |
|
This for my *****z on the block misled |
|
Who think they gotta hold glocks or **** rocks to cop bread mayne |
|
Listen instead, |
|
I think I got a better plan |
|
To bring you a brighter day, make you a better man |
|
Switch the hustle, try to get your mind ongettin legit in the world, ***** get your grind on |
|
Paper come in other ways, even though crime pays |
|
Put down your 9 my *****, use your mind today |
|
And you'll see, your paper start to multiply |
|
The same thing that make you laugh, man'll make you cry[Chorus] |
