See what I do just like this?

I do it for the young’un and the ghetto

The train will never hear his story cuz he ain’t gonna make it to tell it

So you know it’s crazy

I went to court the other day, the D.A. say she hate me

How you gonna hate me when me and Lou just took 20 racks and put clothes on them kids backs?

It’s 30 degrees outside

24, how could I ask for more?

I got my deals, gettin’ real, I’m makin’ cash fo’ sure

Strikin’ every chance I get because I had it poor

But every time I go to sleep I hear the devil at my door

And I’m on them paper so them cars are goin’ back and forth

Get off with probation, they all said I’d come back for sure

Minds is turned to zombies from that raw because it’s crack the law

You wonder why them babies runnin’ crazy ‘stead of clappin’ off

Gettin’ life before they get pussy

Cuz ain’t nobody love ‘em so they lives they took in

Locked in cages, having fighting over cookies

And much strange, is happy them days ain’t never killed ‘em

Yea I remember, it was a hot December

Niggas die on top of winter cuz them kids need them toys

Well Santa Claus don’t see them boys

Them see the girls around here, there’s Jack boys down stairs

No man with the big bag just man with the big gap

Try and take your shit back cuz he feel the world owe ‘im

And his daughter want a Barbie bike for Christmas, he gon show up

That the love is there, no mother there

Just her little brother there

We wash our pain with Belvedere and use the drugs they brought us here

We get high to get by

Hotdogs more rib buys with tears drip from red eyes

Is what ends don’t meet the damn lies

The D.A. said she hate me but I don’t understand

When I just rock the show in front of 50.000 fans

I think that girl’s racist, she probly in a clash

She take her pain out on me but she probly need a man

I took my mind from public housin’, put it in the Styx

I came a long way from welfare and get with it

That shit just made me hungry

And now we gettin’ rich and all these niggas gettin’ sick

I know they wanna get me here cuz of Bobby

Yea, cuz of Bobby

It’s like sometimes I always gotta let these type of dreams go man, just speakin’ to the streets

And bitch said she hate me

I fuck some time away about that

Last night we just came out giving 2-300 pair of shoes to the schools

To the boys’ and the girls’ basketball teams

How you hate me?

You hate me cuz I’m goin’ out supposedly doin’ a lot of god damn money and I got more money than you?

Well, bitch you can hate me for that

Let’s get it
