I had some problems (now dig, you got, rich - right?)

And no one could seem to solve them (they do what they wanna do)

(Huh, and you got broke -)

But you found the answer (you heard? They do what they gotta do)

(Now ask yourself)

And told me to take this chance (which one are you? Huh, fall back)

Soakin' in Rémy, sittin' back, smokin' a 20

- is scabby, the hustlin' is so in me

Never show envy, got a style I maxed

I'm like po', back in '84, now smile at that

Unseen when I'm low, but still right in your face

I'm so skinny, but that semi-auto's right in my waist

From Jags to Jeeps, hoopties with the raggedy seats

Just imagine how I'm movin' if we had any beef (blah)

Beats relax me, good Cheeba keeps me nasty

Lower the smoke when I see the D's creepin' past me

Duckin' the NARCs, born bustin' Dutches apart

Love - with pretty lips, when you - it, it fart

Friend or foe, freak for the rims that glow

Rock Timbs if it's summer or ten below

Love the streets, the science of the drugs that's deep

I'm just another - next up, tryin' to eat

I had some problems (you know)

And no one could seem to solve them (not a soul, baby)

But you found the answer (it's all for y'all now)

And told me to take this chance

But it seems, y'all would rather

See me hit than see my rich

Get bagged over some bull- and see me snitch

Hopin' some AIDS ho -'ll leave me sick like

I'm a sucker for love with some easy -

I did dirt through my days but hid my work

Even then, still, I made sure no kids got hurt

Sweep the next, been knowin' since my feet got wet

From the best-turned vet, learned to speak direct (talkin' to you)

My game's sharp, and we all had our days of barkin'

You could tell - styles by they ways of parkin'

Why dispute it? Dough got us so polluted

Paranoid to the point it's like we, overdo it

Police press up, peep how the beasts arrest ya

Rough up, handcuff, then treat you lesser

Toast on me, smoke spray our potpourri

Y'all can bet, I'ma rep how it's supposed to be

I had some problems (you know)

And no one could seem to solve them (not a soul, baby)

But you found the answer (it's all for y'all now)

And told me to take this chance (I got it locked, feel me)

Infinite game, get chills on the strength of my chain

It's only real, certain - mention my name

Some relate, others stay numb in the face

Tryin' to keep steps ahead like we runnin' a race

Nikes and Timbs, lady friends like 'em slim (yeah)

Light makeup, that - that blend right with they skin

So what's the issue? All - sucks is still official

Cold-steel nickles, and Phil, I'm still with you

Iceberg-in, on the Turnpike mergin'

Late night, right brake lights, black excursion

Tree smokin', hustle the rap I'ma keep ropin'

Too many - got deep emotions

The stress got 'em, who else wanna express they problems?

Get upset, but real vets respect the bottom

To a false, feel a fake love or hate

Right or wrong, as long as the thugs relate

I had some problems (you know)

And no one could seem to solve them (not a soul, baby)

But you found the answer (it's all for y'all now)

And told me to take this chance (what y'all want from me? I)

Yeah, y'all haters better get a hustle, man (had some problems)

Stop - with me (and no one could seem)

I'm tryin' to live, man, nah mean? (To solve them)

I been at the bottom, I was risin', fell back down (but you found the answer)

I'm tryin' to climb up, man

Get off my back, baby (and told me to take)

It's all a game, man, don't hate me, hate the game (this chance, I)

AZ the Visualiza return, once again (had some problems)

Love life, hate, what the -? (And no one could seem to solve them)

(But you found the answer)

(And told me to take this chance)

(I had-)
