[Intro] Aye this a [?] T.V exclusive b**h Hey turn it up a little bit Young Krizzle my n***a Talk to em' DJ Wally Sparks what it is? Hood Fame shorty Gotta watch out for these rats and snakes my n***a One day you're here next day you're gone [Hook:] n***as see you on that block, n***as knowin' what you got Don't think your a** can't get shot One day you're here next day you're gone Everybody ain't your friend, everybody ain't your foe You gotta watch em' from the door One day you're here next day you're gone Some of these people out here burnin' Don't let haters hear concernin' Don't take more than what you owe One day you're here next day you're gone Just keep your feet up on the ground, and your head to the sky Thank the lord your alive One day you're here next day you're gone [Verse:] Its like I'm trapped on the porch I was raised on Day in day out its like the same song And all my folks know that I'm real about it And that ish too many n***as gettin' k**ed about it And I cannot make paper workin' 9 to 5 I gotta hustle but it really ain't workin' out And when them fiends come, so quick divide them dimes Then them narks come so quick and bust our grind I ain't trippin' cuz' I'm still lookin' towards the future And I'ma eat as long as they keep makin' Ramen Noodles
And I don't mean to act like we ain't really gettin' paper But I'm here to tell all my players it gets greater later Back in the days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore Some days I say I wish I was a kid again I hope I'm not losin' y'all when I do these songs Somedays like sometimes I feel like I can't go on One day your here next day your gone [Hook:] [Verse 2:] I'm back again like I never left And I ignore the pain and struggle like I never felt I roll around with my folk, they got them 20's man Then I go home and realize just how poor I am But I ain't jealous, I ain't trippin, cuz' I'm gettin' mine Ain't like the lord forgot about me he just needs some time Look I ain't gonna preach to you like these other guys Man I ain't been to church in months but I still pay my tithes A dollar here, a dollar there it ought to make it better Cuz' I'm aware that I ain't gonna be on this Earth forever If I don't make it to the top cuz' of bad direction Maybe DJ Screw will chop my cd up one day in heaven Plenty n***as been here, plenty n***as gone Plenty n***as doing time never comin' home And to my n***as in the struggle grindin' hard stay strong Cuz' one day you're here shorty then the next day you're
