Day By Day

Okay

Uh, damn

Shorty, right there

Nah, man

Check me out

Ayo, I knew this black chick

Fly as fuck, had **** linin' up

Beggin' for a slice of that pie, buyin' designer stuff

She had it goin' on, call her a Mack

'Cause they never got the part on the sack

So gimme that!

Was a model who played all these goofy **** like the lotto

'Till David came and wrote to the end

Her closest friends started noticin' the shift

And then Smith - it started, of course, with the yay

But then, to the horse he switched

Now Anita, Anita, Anita, when David always beat her

One strong woman, no more

Cold sores started showin' on her lips

Miss Thick, I think quick

**** sayin' how she used to be raw (But now she, eugh!)

Homeless, 'cause the dope man kicked her out of his place

I guess the lesson learned here is keep that out of your face

And your veins, remain strong and proud of your race

'Cause it's lonely at the bottom when you're fallin' from grace

And that's real

This ain't in a drama, but that's livin' in me (Trust)

You can be whatever that you set out to be (Just)

Know the streets are runnin' off of money and greed (Plus)

Ain’t no comin' back when G's cockin' and squeezin'

This ain't a drama, but that's livin' in me (Trust)

You can be whatever that you set out to be (Just)

Know the streets are runnin' off of money and greed (Plus)

Ain’t no comin' back when G's cockin' and squeezin'

It's a lot, burnin' hot when they pumpin' that .44

Everybody watchin' when you stopped by the po-po

Locked in a box, man, we movin' in slow-mo

Gotta slow down or else we just won’t grow

Okay, this white kid I knew had it real good from the 'burbs

That’s my word

Both parents was there enough for this herb that they spoiled him

Bought him whatever he ordered

More than his fair share of drama he caused

Balls started gettin' a little bit bigger

Now he's hangin' with the **** and he figures

"Why the fuck I'm goin' to school

When I could be cool on the corner with the rest of the crew?"

Pitchin' Peru, gettin' dust like the rest of these dudes" (Move!)

Move, but his plan of attack was whack

'Cause the **** he thought did, didn’t have his back

It was sad, they put the MAG right to his face and said

"Let’s take a trip to daddy’s crib and head for the safe"

Yup, man, the lesson learned here is the case

Of a fool not knowin' his place

Think it's great when you're runnin' in the streets

But that's hardly the deal

'Cause it's savage on the ass when **** turnin' for bills

And that’s real

This ain't in a drama, but that's livin' in me (Trust)

You can be whatever that you set out to be (Just)

Know the streets are runnin' off of money and greed (Plus)

Ain’t no comin' back when G's cockin' and squeezin'

This ain't a drama, but that's livin' in me (Trust)

Ain’t no comin' back when G's cockin' and squeezin'

It's a lot, burnin' hot when they pumpin' that .44

Everybody watchin' when you stopped by the po-po

Locked in a box, man, we movin' in slow-mo

Gotta slow down or else we just won’t grow

It's Longshot (Haha)

Overflo on the beat

Records, birthrights

This how we doin' it this year

Big up to the moment (Ha)

I know it's hard out here

You know what I'm sayin'?

The streets is callin'

Not only watchin', they callin', man

It’s hard to not respond, especially when you’re black and you poor

But I don’t understand, man

Why **** throwin' shit away so easy?

You know what I mean?

You got it good, you ain't

From the hood (You ain't such a show)

But we never gon' stop
