[Intro - Plies:]
I did it outta luv
(Did it outta luv)
(Did it outta luv)
I did it outta luv
(Did it outta luv)
(Did it outta luv)
[Hook - Plies:]
You will never owe me sh** n***a (nope)
I did it outta luv (I did it outta luv)
That's what real n***as is supposed to do, yeah n***a
I did it outta luv (I did it outta luv)
You ain't never got to pay me back (never)
I did it outta luv (I did it outta luv)
You will never owe me sh** n***a (never)
I did it outta luv (I did it outta luv)
[Verse 1 - Plies:]
Lawyer wanted 100 sum thousands
Cracker taxed me I paid it
Give a f** 'bout no money
Just want my n***as to make it
Cracker came right back
For another 200 bands
Make sure my n***a and them straight
That's all that I kept sayin'
300 thousand and all f** it I paid it again
If I don't f** with you I don't
So once I'm in, I'm in
The cracker told me like this
We'll make sure you ain't get straight
I told em make sure all of us straight
Or get the f** off the case
sh**, I ain't going to play with your money
So don't you play with that life
I don't give a f** if we wrong
I'm going to war like we right
My brother told me when I was little
Don't run with n***as unless you love 'em
Don't turn your back on your n***as
You supposed to ride in the struggle
n***a I was taught how to shine
But I was built for the rain
f** n***as they do all the time
But real n***as don't change
I'll never do it unless I meant it
You won't owe me sh** in return
I never waiver for nothing
This real sh** I stay firm
Would they have done it for me
n***a it don't f**ing matter
I was able to do it for them
To me that's all that f**ing matters
Ain't supposed to ride when it's sunny
And then hide when it's dark
My love don't come from the pain
My n***a it come from the heart
I know some n***as with millions
Left their dog in the dark
Don't give a f** how it turned out
n***a that's what it was
Don't need no Plies you're real
No pat's on the backs, no I love ya
Like my big brother told me
n***a if I'm fo' ya I'm fo' ya
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2 - Plies:]
When you was hiding from the crackers
I let you hide in my house
n***a I gave you my bed
n***a I slept on the couch
n***a I'd do it again
Cause that's what it's supposed to be 'bout
Cause when you n***as they need you
You supposed to help n***as out
You ain't neva paid me for that
You ain't neva gave me no money
Your money ain't good with me
You was my n***a so I done it
Remember my brother got jammed
And neighbors with six of his dogs
Told me don't bond him out
Cause I got all six of my dogs
I remember like you was yesterday
Realest sh** I ever heard
When I think about lord
Till I remember the work
Goddamn larger my n***a
Ain't supposed to pay you for that
We supposed to ride for each other
We need no money for that
My momma fed me off bad checks
Beat my a** cause she love me
One thing she never said
Is that I owed her something
If I ever did something for ya
My n***a it came from the heart
Was looking for nothing in return
I mean that sh** swear to God
[Hook x2]
