Talkin’ to me crazy like I wouldn’t be a big nigga one day/ Hey hey hey
Runnin’ with brothers at an early age man I had to get paid/ (paid, paid,paid)
Told wait to you grow up you gone find out life ain’t a game/ it ain’t a game) it’s a pleasure to be here
Count the years lost many to an early grave/
ain’t many real/ only a few love ya/ family turned their backs friends turned to bustas / spent a lot of time in the club doing nothing/ could of been trucking/ learning a trade or something’/ same 24 365 quarter/
Stay away from Chaos/ stay divine order
Keep women around only a few Loyal/
Move with your gut if you good you trust you/
Head on a swivel hand close to a pistol/
P said use it I got the cash to bail you/
Living in the projects I know an escape route/ grandmas prayers saved you niggas from Jesus/ should of hung with my grandpa when he asked to/ married to game neglect the people that had you/
If I gave a fuck then I’d probably have two/
Fazed out the lame/
Had a tussle to get loose/
Niggas a shame straight Judas in ruins/
Stay away like the plaque give a fuck how you doin’
Talkin’ to me crazy like I wouldn’t be a big nigga one day/ Hey hey hey
Runnin’ with brothers at an early age man I had to get paid/ (paid, paid,paid)
Told wait to you grow up you gone find out life ain’t a game/ (it ain’t a game) it’s a pleasure to be here
Count the years lost many to an early grave/
Been jacked, jumped, hit with a bat/ roasted dumped concussed from an accident/ pressed, bullied, smacked didn’t get to hit/ betrayed, harassed, jailed didn’t have shit/ shot at, homeless
Didn’t keep some promises/ unfocused, roamin’, stagnant, angry, nothing going, nothing flowing, taking L’s, mental health catching hell mute myself/ stressed, depressed, moody, a mess, arrogant, rude, big headed, got finessed/ laughed at handicaps and others depressed/ gave access to a few niggas who ain’t shit/ I didn’t speak up when I should of spoke from the spirit/ didn’t show love when I know they needed to feel it /held grudges niggas died and we couldn’t repair it/ in the clouds with maturity due to the spirit
Talkin’ to me crazy like I wouldn’t be a big nigga one day/ Hey hey hey
Runnin’ with brothers at an early age man I had to get paid/ (paid, paid,paid)
Told wait to you grow up you gone find out life ain’t a game/ (it ain’t a game) it’s a pleasure to be here
Count the years lost many to an early grave/ Talkin’ to me crazy like I wouldn’t be a big nigga one day (Shot)
