[Verse 1: Freddie Gibbs]

Slammin' money on my big homie commissary

Jumped on that I-65 and take that trip back to Gary

Granny just passed, my uncle out here smoking glass

But I still cook up in his crib I gots to get to this cash

Forgive me father cause I'm so wrong

But I know through your ghost in my mind been doing it for so long

Been a while though when working and the lights was off we could barely hold on

So I jumped off that porch and whipped up that yoke and got my role on

Then I hit myself with reasons new J's and Jesus pieces

Fresh Nikes and a brand new polo

LV nigga check that logo in the club it's like a ho show

These hoes show out for me

And the bitches in my past they just didn't know what I could be

Freddie G , hit the booth pick up my pen

And I pimp it like write consistent

Extra lugers in my clip for my Ruger, my life extended

For at least 10 more shots should I get going or get got

But on the other hand, I got a bird landin, and a rubber band on my knot

[Hook]

I've been up, baby I've done been down

Just good enough

Ain't enough in my town

I gotta get my thang right

So I can start the day right

Cause I fucked up

Baby I been fucked round

And just good enough

Ain't enough in my town

I gotta get my thang right

So I can start the day right

[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]

We bendin' corners and caprices

We cut thousand Cadillacs that dope check I'm cashin that

And I'm choking smoking on that gasoline

Lost a hubcap on my hoopdie

But my fiend just copped a teen

Had a dream that I would get rich and famous all off this rapping shit

And the older niggas laughed at me I'mma gon' make it happen bitch

In booth camp used to write my raps in my letters and send them to Roll

And say my nigga check this I'm gon' wreck shit when I get home

Be load with crazy paper really what I gotta take to make it

Cause enough of these CD's and MP3s

Tryna to shake these haters

Plus I'm slanging just to maintain ducking investigation

Every year niggas only fear is the fed cases

Living in this industry ghetto please come with smiley faces

But I feel like fuck all these rappers they don't want no altercation

Baby face gangster I earn my stripes out on the devil's playground

Peace to all my real niggas that stay down

[Hook x2]
