Stick Me For My Riches

See I was raised out on these mean streets\nI’m from the projects, right, where poverty and hell meet\nI’m searching everyday to find a better way, I’ve got a Hustle still to get my pay before I hit bottom\nNow some might say that I’m already there\nBut who are they to judge or question what I do, son, so I don’t care\nTired of eating cheese sandwiches with no meat\nTired of watching all the playas from the same seat\nSo it’s a life of crime, some might sing or rhyme\nTo escape the ghetto before the flatline\nChoices to make, what am I gonna do Got to use my talents, they gonna pull me through\nNow with success, I become a target\nThey wanna set me up, I guess more money equals more problems\nThey wanna get me, wanna hit me, strip me of my riches\nThey wanna cut me up in pieces, leave me deep in ditches\nAnd I can’t take it… but I’m gonna make it…\nYeah… oh… I’m gonna make it… yeah… ohhhhhh\nFight to stay alive\nI was raised out on these mean streets\nYou know where poverty and hell meet\nBrothers get jail and life’s for sale, cheap\nSince momma held me, in her arms, to tell me That it’s a cold world, I done held heat\nAnd held myself down, lotta bodies and shells found\nAnd niggas into taking everything, that ain’t nailed down\nWe fell down, ain’t hard to tell now\nI ain’t trying, to see the cell now\nor see momma put her house up for bail now\nSo I’mma give all I got, to try and get that gwop\nNigga I’m hot with this hustle, go 'head and get the cops\nI use my talent to get more figures\nUnlike these little corner store niggas\nGo change your drawers, niggas\nNow with success and I’ve become a target\nThey wanna set me up, take me hostage, or take me down some notches\nThey wanna hit me, wanna stick me, get me for my riches\nThey wanna diss me, want a clip me, leave me stiff in ditches\nAnd I can’t take it, no, no, but I’m gonna make it…\n(This ain’t no game, my life ain’t nothing to play with)\nYeah… I’m gonna make it… oooh…\n(Face it, money is power and I’ma make it)\nI’m gonna make it… oooh…\nYeah, I’m gon' survive, yo, yo, aiyo\nN.Y. City, gritty blocks, little love, plenty cops\nFew rise, many drop, True Lies, semis cocked\nFishscale, already rocked, heavy shots, that we drop\nNew guys on every block, blue eyes and red dots\nPregnant mothers, broke fathers, more money, more problems\nSo hungry, won’t starve 'em, work hard and so pardon
