Back when I was younger
Very ambitious but often blinded by my hunger
Some say I dream too big
And my dream gon' take me under
Beneath the streets of Gary
Would I make it out I wonder
Could my obituary be the next they read amongst the
n***as I came up with and fell victim to this dope game
Poverty stricken so our economy is c**aine
Ecstacy, h**n, marijuana ain't no hope man
Absentee fathers and dope fiend mamas
Got my hood turned out to the point that a n***a wanna go and get paid
f** sittin' on the bench I'mma go on
To the next lick til I'm goin' in my grave
Then I figured after that I could make a livin'
Off makin' words rhyme it was all in my mind
Everybody in the G went to Finger Roll studio
Nobody had a flow quite like mine
But along with the fame came a whole lot of
Hate from the hood, everyday I would fight
Mama can't sleep cause I'm way to deep in the streets
She would pray through the night
Every rhyme that I spit's real sh**
Cause its just another day in my life
n***as better keep a vest test to my testicles
They be vegetables, they gonna respect the flow 'til I'm gone
[Refrain:]
One for the money
Two for the mother f**in' haters keep my name in game
I'm screamin' f** the world
I keep 3 bad b**hes for all my n***as
Wave your fingers if you're feeling the same
I'm screamin' f** the world
One for the money
Two for the mother f**in' haters keep my name in game
I'm screamin' f** the world
I keep three bad b**hes for all my n***as wave your fingers if you're feeling the same
I'm screamin' f** the world
Player haters f**'em
Record label f**'em
Radio f**'em
All my sh** still be bumpin'
Never change my style up for any of them
I'm strictly thuggin'
Lotta n***as made a name off banging
And hustling but really wasn't
I built my name with no features
Or some expensive budget
Go for mine cause a co-sign can't coincide with the sh** I'm bustin
You see more fear and your pockets start to see a reduction
See how true your crew is, never new they was frontin'
And I bet a n***a told you, that whatever
You go through, we got your back 'til the end
When I came upon a deal, n***as that I never knew
I could blew, wanna come be my friends
Then the boy got dropped and the friendship stopped
In a flash I was back on my own
Put a strap on my lap and the stash in the back
Cause the fact I was wrappin them stones
Got back to the rap cause its all that
I got in the mid west streets be my voice
I don't think another dude could do what I do
So it seem like I ain't got no choice
Then the hoes gon' choose the dudes that come through
Get them groovin and get that sh** moist
n***as knowin, I be runnin them hoes, and never lovin them hoes
You be up under them hoes, I hit up buncha them hoes and I'm gone
[Refrain]
I'm GI thuggin', I'm Chi town thuggin'
I'm Detroit thuggin', one time f**'em
I'm NY thuggin', I'm Illadelph thuggin'
I'm DC thuggin', one time f**in'
I'm Inglewood thuggin', I'm South Central thuggin'
I'm O-town thuggin', one time f**'em
I'm ATL thuggin'
I'm Memphis T thuggin', I'm H-town thuggin', one time f**'em
[Refrain]
