Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ain't tryna shit on y'all ****
I don't want y'all to feel a way
I'm just livin', my ****
Tryna make today a better day
How can you not feel that, my ****?
I grew up in the 'jects around killers
MAC-11s, TECs and nine millis
Welfare checks and wild dealers
I'm just happy I made it out the slums, my ****
We scrambled over crumbs, my ****
Tried to get fly to avoid bein' bums, my ****
It's rough where I'm from, my ****
Back block's vacant, crack pot shakin'
Welcome to the hood, my ****
It's never all good, my ****
They thought I'd be in jail, they thought that I'd get high
They thought that I would die, my ****
I looked inside my grandmother's eyes
Promised her I would try, my ****
[Chorus]
Y'all hatin', I'm like, "Why, my ****?"
I was like you, barely gettin' by, my ****
Barely gettin' by, my ****
Ridin' in the hoop', doin' like five, my ****
Tryna duck the five, my ****
[Verse 2]
Out there on the grind, take a nine for a dime
Just tryna get mine, my ****
Lookin' back, I was out my mind
How the fuck did I find time to try to write rhymes, my ****?
Crab **** tryna pull you down
Know how hard it is to climb, my ****?
Let a **** shine, my ****
I'm finna cop the coupe and I'm rippin' off the roof
Whenever the sun shine, my ****
My ****, we talkin' 'bout me
Before the record deals, dealin', tryin' not to get a record
Boy, we got it crackin' on that hill
**** cracked, but I ain't squeal
I've always been real, for the record
Damn right I made it, you **** gon' take it how you take it
But no if-ands, all the bitches is butt-naked
You sittin' there hatin'
I'm standin' here shakin' the dice, we out Vegas
[Chorus]
You mad, I'm like, "Why, my ****?"
I was like you, barely gettin' by, my ****
Barely gettin' by, my ****
Ridin' in the hoop', doin' like five, my ****
Tryna duck the five, my ****
New **** try to give me dap, but I just duck the five, my ****
[Verse 3]
When I was just startin', they was just watchin'
So friendship, I can't justify, my ****
It's just us, yup, just me and my ****
Cups up, fucked up, we some wild ****
Y'all **** is lame, it's a shame
You change the way you look at things
The things you look at'll start to change
[Chorus]
You blamin' me? Why, my ****?
I was like you, barely gettin' by, my ****
Barely gettin' by, my ****
Ridin' in the hoop', doin' like five, my ****
Tryna duck the five, my ****
Tryna duck the five, duck ****, haha
[Outro]
****
