| Man, first I just wanna salute my soldiers
|
| Knahmean? |
| We just trying to stay above water
|
| Feel me? |
| I mean I speak for the Gs, the hustlers
|
| They understand me, knahmsayin?
|
| Shit
|
| Lock into this time and lock out (always)
|
| I mean ain’t nothing promised to niggas like us
|
| You know?
|
| Just a, another day another dollar
|
| Now look what you got
|
| Another hater, another plotter
|
| Shit, you know the drill
|
| A brother pay, a brother holla
|
| Watch 'em, they creeping
|
| Another raid, another copper
|
| Aw man
|
| Another case, another lock-up
|
| What
|
| Another bail, know that cake better pop up
|
| Yup
|
| That’s just day to day shit we go through
|
| And results of the day to day shits we go through
|
| Some niggas day to day pitch, they local, and
|
| Some niggas day to day bricks, they coastal, and
|
| Some niggas day to day snitch, they vocal
|
| I don’t honor them fools
|
| Them type of dudes get they tonsils removed
|
| I speak from the heart of the hood
|
| From the boarded up apartments with wood
|
| From the cracked down crack houses (yeah)
|
| To the burnt up black houses
|
| To fiends inside with that burnt up glass out
|
| And puffing weed makes my actions switch
|
| I’m at the window, with the pistol, like Malcolm
|
| Ain’t that a bitch (man)
|
| And I’m paranoid, paranoid
|
| But still I got to get it, got to have it, make it happen boy
|
| Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep
|
| If I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take
|
| And may this song play all the way
|
| And if it skip a beat, hit repeat
|
| This the realest shit I ever wrote, this is me
|
| And if it skip a beat, hit repeat
|
| This the realest shit I ever wrote, this is me
|
| Look now
|
| Another dead, another born
|
| Vice versa
|
| Another here, another gone
|
| Pay attention
|
| Another smile, another mourn
|
| Another funeral, another baby shower going on
|
| Get it, huh
|
| That’s just life in the hood
|
| You earn scars, you earn stripes in the hood
|
| Huh, get it
|
| I live the life of a hustler
|
| No sleep all night for a hustler, buster
|
| And if your coke weak, cut it with Bo Peep sheep
|
| I swear fiends will chase that high for four weeks
|
| I’m still dealing with the day to day beef and
|
| Stress, hunger, patience
|
| The day to day basics
|
| Yep, shit that we go through, you know
|
| Shit
|
| Look at the shit that we go through, you know
|
| Niggas come home, can’t get jobs
|
| Niggas getting money, acting like they can’t get robbed
|
| And that don’t mix |
