I know what they want, I heard they been fienin'
That's why I'm here, I'm here to feed em'
I'm stuck in the kitchen, studio the stove
We been cooking all day, this sh** never gets old
The beat steady knocking, the hood steady jump
The block steady rocking, the cops keep on coming
And we hear them sirens, yea we seem them lights
Wanted Heaven On Earth, got a hell of a night
[Verse 1]
Called my man, asked if they gon' keep coming
Got a plan, every other day run em'
30 grams Sour Diesel, that's nothing
Ounce of mid, if you need em' 100
Small-timer but I know my time coming
Til then, just gon' grind and keep hustling
Flashbacks when my mama was struggling
Woke up, damn my mama still struggling
Thats why n***as rarely go clubbing
Stack that paper up, stack that paper up
Til the day she ain't wanting for nothing
Til that day, Cloudy playing with onions
E&J's and cheesesteaks in my stomach
Philly love, city pretty and ugly
Broken dreams pieced together with money
Ups and downs for a n***a, it's nothing
Hood vixens, only grip em' to f** em'
Them bougie b**hes they ain't sitting on buses
Remember days when they was playing and fronted
I caught em' later, hit em', end of discussion
I ain't really tryna hear the discussion
About ya standards cuz I know that you bluffing
n***as wifeys tryna chop me in public
And I ain't balling, just a n***a they f** with
A n***a they f** with turned n***a they f**ing
A n***a they f**ing turned n***a that's nothing
I ain't the one to be cuffing and loving
Ain't thinking bout building up nothing but money sh**ttt
UH, hundreds on hundreds on hundreds on hundreds that's up in my money clip
UH, blunt after blunt after blunt after blunt let you know what you up against
UH, I'm bout roll this b**h up, smoke it up, and then go get another zip
UH, plug after plug after plug after plug my call list like a power strip
UH, working and grinding and hustling and tryna make West Five a power strip
UH, I got a job and then bought some more bud cuz at work I be powerless
UH, one call add up to the pay I might make if I work this 6 hour shift
UH, just let me think for a minute and then make a move where I'll benefit
UH, one call add up to the pay I might make if I work this 6 hour shift
UH, just let me think for a minute and then make a move where I'll benefit

[Verse 2]
Back against the wall like we playing suicide, this that do or die
Apply for jobs while we moving dimes
Got that 9 to 5 but tryna get em' 2 for 3 and sell em' 2 for 5
sh** I ain't meet that n***a yet but you know I'm trying
Cuz where I'm from, ain't what you got, it's bout how hard you tried
If Philly taught me anything, it taught me how to grind
Molded by the environment, we suppose to rise
Suppose to win, ain't suppose to lose and b**h bout broken odds
Broken dreams pieced together with white racist faces
On green papers from blood and sweat, no tears on my face just
West Five on my shirt, lil green with my purp, a lil brown in my cup but I can barely taste it
Success feel like a inch away. that's why we so impatient
But we see beauty in that struggle so we keep on racing
And proving all these n***as wrong is gonna feel amazing
Back against the wall but ya chick f**ing in my basement
WEST FIVE...
