Testi

Listen
I'ma tell you straight like this
Word up, listen
Ayo, I walk down the block with my stomach in knots
Spend time hustlin', runnin' from cops
Broke as a joke, no wins at all
Can't play ball and my Timbs are small
Can't buy trees with government cheese
I'd rather be where it's breeze, **** bubblin' keys
My mom's got two jobs, one on her knees
And writin' letters to the governor, please call off the D's
My baby mother with another brother with cash
They drive by, roll down the window and laugh
I solve all my problems with indo and hash
Bought my daughter a Nintendo, now she callin' him dad
My landlord's a jerk, the water don't work
My little sister twelve and she bought her own skirt
Rather do Kirk than do her homework
Talk blunts and boys and she'll jump for joy
Shit's twisted, opportunity knocked but I missed it
Out in the park gettin' lifted
So now I'm sittin' here shit out of luck
Without a buck and it don't make a difference
So do you hear me?
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens every day
It's like I'm trapped in a maze, walk around in a daze
I won't rest 'til I'm paid or I'm down in my grave
I wanna look tough but my sneakers are scuffed
Every day passin' the week is enough
I had a little money but it came and it went
Now it's either pay the rent or stay in a tent
And it don't make sense how this shit is intense
And all you got up in your pocket is lint, you get the hint?
I had a cigarette for breakfast just for beginners
Pride for my lunch and sleep for dinner
Try to go to church, priest call me a sinner
They call me everything except for a winner
I'm walkin' in the rain wishin' things would change
It ain't a game, man, I pawned all the rings and chains
Emotionally scarred from losin' my job
Pass the 'gnar, ****, times is hard
Now do you hear me?
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens every day
Now would you check me?
If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens every day
Yo, I ain't gon' front, all I want is a blunt
A pair of blue and yellow Dunks and my hundreds in chunks
But people see me put the purse to the front
I'm wakin' up early on the first of the month
Honeys don't respect when you call 'em collect
And it's twenty-five cent, you can call 'em direct
I put my life on the line, I ain't makin' a dime
**** call me, "Never mind, man, you wastin' your time"
Ayo, I'm livin' in the ghetto and I'm tryin' to survive
At the same time a **** rollin' by on the five
Can't find a job for a nine to five
It's like I only get by when I'm feelin' the high
And I ain't got no smoke, the elevator broke
I'm at the end of my rope tryin' to find a way to cope
I'm sippin' on gin thinkin' how I could win
I don't know where it begin but this is where it could end
Now do you hear me?
'Cause if you don't I'll come up close and say it clearly
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens every day
Now would you check me?
If I was you and you was me, would you respect me?
I got to know, I got to go
I strive for my pay each and every way
But this type of shit, it happens every day
