[INTRO]
My homie said if you going to do it then do it
Whatever you do, you gotta' put your heart into it
So I switched it up and I brought the blues into it
Put my life in stories and I got you groovin' to it
My sh** the truth, I promise I'm not lying to you
Get in this booth, you know I'm lightin' fire to it
This sh** for bro, he always knew that I could do it
I catch the flow, you other n***as quick to loose it
[VERSE 1: TEY BOOGIE]
Drop up in the projects
All my n***as hustlin'
They ain't doing that sh** for nothing man they trying to win
We trying to eat, trying to feed the block n***a
The game mean, gotta watch out for the cops n***a
They should stop but they keep making them drops n***a
Racking that G money, run up and get popped n***a
The street light was my first spotlight
I promise you this sh** ain't happen overnight
[HOOK: TEY BOOGIE]
I Been grinding my whole damn life
Even though we doing wrong
Man it feel so right
Trying to make it out
Trying to live a better life
I had to work for it
It ain't happen overnight
[VERSE 2: TEY BOOGIE]
I been grinding my whole damn life
Even though it's so wrong
Man it feel so right
Moving work across the f**ing neighborhood
We got all the clientele cause we got the good
And I'm not telling you to do it, I'm explaining me
God threw me in a place that I ain't ask to be
I got all these f**ing demons standing next to me
Look in my eyes and see pain cause that's all I seen
I remember nights we ain't have no sh** to eat
Had no money for the bills streets callin' me
Momma praying that I don't repeat the footsteps
So I put my life in this, I ain't got nothing left
When your back against the wall what you going to do
The streets ain't nothing nice, they ain't got no love for you
So I'm here contemplating bout my next move
If you was me n***a what the f** would you do
[Hook 2x]
