They Got Us

Yeah, my **** holler, "Bang, bang," as the coppers pass

'Cause just the other day they tried to rob his stash

Jammed up his cuz, now he called from the pen

They got him prayin' for his bail so they won't take his kids

'Cause his baby mama act out, she done backed out

Sold everything in the house 'cause she cracked out

He turned to me, so much pain in his eye

Like he ain't know bein' black and poor came with a price

He took a toke as if it eased his mind

His nose runnin' heavy 'cause he geekin' lines

Clientele pulled up in a Beamer truck

Served the driver, and he said to me

"They got us all fucked up"

When this storm gon' settle? (Gon' settle?)

I can't hurt forever (Forever)

How can I do better now?

Aye, they got us all fucked up

Break my back for nothing (For nothing)

Lock me up for strugglin' (For strugglin')

Only God can judge me now

Aye, they got us all fucked up

Yeah, I need a nasty freak to shake that ass for me

She said, "What's happenin', what's up, yeah, this ass ain't free"

I got a friend if you want her, wait, I could phone her

Everything half price 'cause Christmas around the corner

Since the recession, it's been hard if you're strippin'

'Cause **** pay to get in, but **** ain't tippin'

She's short on rent, the landlord trippin'

Tired of eatin' noodles that taste like chicken

Don't really like hoein', ain't hard to tell

But when all else fails, pussy always sell

The song stop spinnin' and her time was up

Snatched the money off the floor and said

"They got us all fucked up"

When this storm gon' settle? (Gon' settle?)

I can't hurt forever (Forever)

How can I do better now?

Aye, they got us all fucked up

Break my back for nothing (For nothing)

Lock me up for strugglin' (For strugglin')

Only God can judge me now

Aye, they got us all fucked up

I had a partner called Pimpin', had hella women

Say he raw dog chicks and never ever went to clinic

Now he thinks something wrong and he scared to check

He got a girl that he claimed never cared for sex

So he slept on her, crept on her

Sometimes he even pushed her down and he stepped on her

One of his cutty buddies called him, and it got him freaked

Say she had a checkup and she got HIV

Claim it's all his fault, screamin', raised her hands

'Cause she got two kids, and what about her man?

He thought about his girl, hopped out his truck

Called her phone and said as low as he could

"I got us all fucked up"

When this storm gon' settle? (Gon' settle?)

I can't hurt forever (Forever)

How can I do better now?

Aye, they got us all fucked up

Break my back for nothing (For nothing)

Lock me up for strugglin' (For strugglin')

Only God can judge me now

Aye, they got us all fucked up
