The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was raised to cope with life

Make my own choices and hope I'm right

It's uphill all the way for me

I ain't goin' down or slowin' down don't play me G

I'm not the child of a millionaire born to be rich

Don't have a trust for the lust for one I get a bitch

So quick and all the stuff we have

Make her jealous girlfriends lust for cash

But fuck 'em cuz while we on a whole different level

They still be sleepin' on the floor in the ghetto

And when they realize how you came up

Them hoes can't say nothin' cuz the game is rough

Why you wanna treat me like that?

Cuz you don't know how to act when you're dealin' with a mack

Why you gotta be like that?

I ain't givin' no bitches no kind of slack

Just want you to love me back

I can't love you cuz you're nothin' but a rat

Baby please don't act like that

It's like that you should've stuck a knife in my back

Now bitch I don't slang no crack

I can't go back to rappin' in my cango hat

You wanna put a little game on that?

How lame is that?

You fuckin' with the same ol' rats

We all have ups and downs

You're stuck with frowns and don't make a fuckin' sound

But let a nigga hit the lotto

Pop some bottles and tell everybody you got 'em

Now I done been on both sides of the mountain

For the bottom to the top and back down again

And all the way I give a hoe a fit

Not to wear it but to ?? little lonely bitch

You cryin' like a baby need a pacifier

You (pass a fly?) watchin' life pass you by

You couldn't make it to the top in an elevator

You think I want a sorry bitch?

Never player

Why you wanna treat me like that?

Cuz you don't know how to act when you're dealin' with a mack

Why you gotta be like that?

I ain't givin' no bitches no kind of slack

Just want you to love me back

I can't love you cuz you're nothin' but a rat

Baby please don't act like that

It's like that you should've stuck a knife in my back

You're like a little baby with a shitty butt

You city sluts they say you can't get it up

And then they say you're way too hyper

Game is lighter need someone to change your diaper

But don't stop just give it all you got

Till you're hot even if you slang dope and get caught

It's like goin' platnium and gettin' dropped

You don't get no money you get props

But you're not cuz you're really just dreamin'

I'm leavin'

I keep these fake hoes steamin'

They screamin'

She better face those demons

It's fuck season

Don't waste my evenin'

I believe him when he said the end was near

It's in the air a whole lot of pimps in here

I can't (com)pare cuz I've been mackin' twenty four years

But since you wanna go there bitch I really don't care

Why you wanna treat me like that?

Bitch don't know how to act when she's dealin' with a mack

Why you gotta be like that?

I can't givin' no bitches no kind of slack

Just want you to love me back

Bitch I can't love you cuz you're nothin' but a rat

Baby please don't act like that

It's like that bitch stuck a knife in my back

It's like that

That's why I treat you like that

Don't act like that

Bitch

Why you wanna act like that?

(Get) the fuck on

Baby please don't act like that

Oh no

Better learn the rules of the game

Don't act like that

You don't know how to act when you're dealin' with a mack

Don't act like that

I ain't givin' no bitches no kind of slack

No

I can't love you cuz you're nothin' but a rat

Why you gotta be that way?

It's like that

Bitch it's like that

Don't act like that

Oh no

Bring me that VSOP

Passion blend

With a drop of yak
