They running through the dumps acting like they legit Oh no //Verse 1 Man why they do this Why these people think it's cool for them to act stupid Why these people frontin like they think that they some new sh** Same trash underneath but claiming its a new whip When it's the same chains, bound in the same place The spot they say that they were born will soon become their grave A grave situation stuck and lost no liberation Sorrow, hunger and distress will lead them to a dedication To a craft that some agree with and others want to k** Others want to take away, some ask for the pill Pillage, sack destroy, go get you another toy Toying with the craft until you realize it's all just a ploy Take away this dope sh** that you been pushin Take away the dumba** friends and hoes that you been hookin Take away the rest of your life, you left with nothin
