|
Nigga things, change, dem stay the same |
|
Now watch me come up, I hustle, I hustle even harder |
|
I put that work in to win, no problem |
|
[Spider Loc] |
|
All money ain't good money, this I know |
|
But I still love hood money, I gets my dough |
|
And as a youngster, a nigga went to so much church |
|
And still turned out fucked up, I did so much dirt |
|
Chose to bang the neighborhood, I put in so much work |
|
Did a whole lot of time, caused mom so much hurt |
|
On everythang, that boy wasn't gunned on purpose |
|
Who knew that all my darkness was really gon' surface |
|
I was stuck on that bullshit, just runnin the streets |
|
Without some type of beef the week wasn't complete |
|
It's like a nigga feel better after dumpin his heat |
|
On feet, just to see that body slumped in the seat |
|
Was like a whole nother rush to me, bustin was sweet |
|
Now I'm smarter, I'm all about somethin to eat |
|
I'm on the road, spend 30 days a month in a suite |
|
But I'm still gon' hustle and cheat - let's go |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Lloyd Banks] |
|
Yeah, uhh, now walkin down the block without'cha weapon |
|
is a first class ticket to a lesson |
|
I thirst cash, kick it to perfection, me and Bang got a connection |
|
That's why I bring the Benz to impress him |
|
{?} my zone, all alone homes rattle in my bones |
|
Cause he yappin off his lips and if I hit him I'll be wrong |
|
Cause he ain't never gon' be shit, and I done worked so hard |
|
But I will make you a corn on the cob, you'll be performin for God |
|
Either that or rob you on your boulevard |
|
Bet you never thought for a second niggaz'd pull your card God |
|
I'm on my job, scarred since my nigga gone |
|
HP tatted on me so his memory lives on |
|
Engagin in drama without your bomber'll |
|
be funeral arrangements for your momma |
|
I learned that when I was in pajamas watchin Michael and Madonna |
|
Now I got the appetite of a pirahna, nigga |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Spider Loc] |
|
What nobody knows, all the roads you go through |
|
You can't even talk to those that supposedly know you |
|
Some of the levels that these people'll go to for crumbs |
|
Damn, tell me, is this what that dough do? |
|
That's when you find yourself talkin to Pro Tools |
|
There's not too many that ever walked in the Loc shoes |
|
Or tell the tale that my heart contains |
|
I explain, so many different parts of pain |
|
I'm clean, but still some marks remain |
|
From the past, when that kush weed sparks the brain |
|
The cash made some people start to change |
|
I feel hate when I pulled up and parked the Range |
|
Your damn right I got rich, but my heart the same |
|
And practice makes perfect with the art of aim |
|
You ain't really got the heart to bang |
|
You ain't start to hang, 'til you found out I caught the chain |
|
[Chorus] |
