Pay the Price

Yo

Bills due on the kitchen table

Mama walkin' past 'em 'cause she ain't able

Watchin' mama family, sister tryna watch cartoon

Muthafucka came through and clipped the cable

Get a job, that's the usual

Mama had a job that ain't do enough

Mama hired me, I'm sackin' groceries up

Ninety days later, I was postin' up

Quarter pound of weed, two-fifty strong

Stayin' out late, bring the profit home

Just me and Big G tryna stack it up

Shit ain't been the same since my **** gone

I looked up to **** like Hookshot

**** like Lil' Pat and Woo Woo

I was on the block as a young boy

Watchin' them hustle, it was like school

I hustled with the greats

Ate with the vultures and the snakes

My days turned to nights

My nights turned to days

Streets got me paid

And I know I'ma pay the price for it

I know it

One day, I'ma pay the price for it

I know it, I know it, I know it

First time I seen ten bands

First time I seen a hunnid grand

First time I seen one mil

I knew shit was 'bout to get real

Homeboys started actin' different

Shit changed, I ain't even trippin'

Same **** used to ride for 'em

One time I was on the front line for 'em

I was a hitter for a dopeboy

Play crazy, yeah you know, boy

I'm in the hood with the doors up

****, I ain't never froze up

Bad bitches chose up

They like me or the lifestyle

****, I don't really give a fuck

But I'ma burn they head, in the meanwhile

I hustled with the greats

Ate with the vultures and the snakes

My days turned to nights

My nights turned to days

Streets got me paid

And I know I'ma pay the price for it

I know it

One day, I'ma pay the price for it

I know it, I know it, I know it

Shit different, you ain't even notice

All the hustlin', I ain't even quote it

New Wraith, I ain't even rode it

**** got a strap, it ain't even load it

Shit real growin' up in the projects

Tryna stay real in the process

Seen a pump knock out a **** intest'

Young boy standin' there, tryna digest

Where all the real **** at, that's my question

Never got indicted, that's my blessin'

When I put it on the 'Gram, that's to motivate ya

Inspiration, ****, that's not flexin'

New Lams, new 'Raris

Lil' homie fightin' charges

Make bond, get him lawyers

Green dot so they can call you

I hustled with the greats

Ate with the vultures and the snakes

My days turned to nights

My nights turned to days

Streets got me paid

And I know I'ma pay the price for it

I know it

One day, I'ma pay the price for it

I know it, I know it, I know it
