Joell Ortiz - Nada lyrics

[Hook: Emilio Rojas] My mama worked double shifts, she had three jobs (I ain't never had nada) I gotta go and hustle quick, I gotta be somethin' (I ain't never had nada) I'm livin' uptown, I stay by that weed spot (I ain't never had nada) I gotta upgrade to J's from them Reeboks, brrrrr (I ain't never had nada) My mama worked double shifts, she had three jobs (I ain't never had nada) I gotta go and hustle quick, I gotta be somethin' (I ain't never had nada) I'm livin' uptown, I stay by that weed spot (I ain't never had nada) I gotta upgrade to J's from them Reeboks, brrrrr (I ain't never had nada) [Verse One: Emilio Rojas] My mama was single, my father, he left us With nada, not even a dollar for diapers So she doubled her hospital shifts Just to give us a quality life, uh Now I'm chasin' this money I'm sick and tired of askin' what the price is And I'mma need me a couple of millions for my sacrifices Yeah, now the landlord called, said he need a couple of G's For the lease by the first, I live in the hood where they beef over turf Yet them rich folks still wish them streets would be theirs Now they just built another f**in' Starbucks But the corner store close, k**in' our bucks How we supposed to be a breadwinner When we livin' off them little f**in' crumbs that they toss us It's a tossup, wanna chalk us out ‘Cause we shoot each other up over Porsches Lil' mama like a pro, pro-choice ‘cause her man just endorsed her For gettin' an abortion, I wish it was different, it isn't We livin' with drama, all the homies doing anything to eat right now ‘Cause we never had nada [Hook: Emilio Rojas] My mama worked double shifts, she had three jobs (I ain't never had nada) I gotta go and hustle quick, I gotta be somethin' (I ain't never had nada) I'm livin' uptown, I stay by that weed spot (I ain't never had nada) I gotta upgrade to J's from them Reeboks, brrrrr (I ain't never had nada) My mama worked double shifts, she had three jobs (I ain't never had nada) I gotta go and hustle quick, I gotta be somethin' (I ain't never had nada) I'm livin' uptown, I stay by that weed spot (I ain't never had nada) I gotta upgrade to J's from them Reeboks, brrrrr (I ain't never had nada) [Verse Two: Joell Ortiz] Cheeseburgers, fries and Coke, my mama worked in White Castle I ain't never had nada She used to sniff lines of coke, enough to build a white castle I ain't never had nada We ain't had a dime, we broke while I'm dealin' with life's ha**les I ain't never had nada Man, n***as had all kinds of jokes but this is right back at you Just when y'all thought it was a wrap, I thought of a couple of raps Took the money from the trap, hit the booth on ‘em Said let me give this a crack, I'm tired of slingin' that crack I started spittin' this crack and it grew on ‘em First bookin' was a wrap, word to Brooklyn, it was packed Man, it happened in a snap how I blew on ‘em Had the haters face blue on ‘em, watch face blew on ‘em b**hes blew on ‘em, n***as tried to race the whip And I blew on ‘em, sh** fast dude Remember that fast food fiend, well she clean now Floor model gone, flat screen now Livin' in the condo of her dreams now Bank cards, no more EBT now We chillin' on a little somethin' partner Money meetings and bu*ton up Prada But you'll never see me frontin', I'mma stunt And I remember when I never had nada [Hook: Emilio Rojas] My mama worked double shifts, she had three jobs (I ain't never had nada) I gotta go and hustle quick, I gotta be somethin' (I ain't never had nada) I'm livin' uptown, I stay by that weed spot (I ain't never had nada) I gotta upgrade to J's from them Reeboks, brrrrr (I ain't never had nada) My mama worked double shifts, she had three jobs (I ain't never had nada) I gotta go and hustle quick, I gotta be somethin' (I ain't never had nada) I'm livin' uptown, I stay by that weed spot (I ain't never had nada) I gotta upgrade to J's from them Reeboks, brrrrr (I ain't never had nada) [Outro: Emilio Rojas] My mama was single, my father, he left us With nada, not even a dollar for diapers So she doubled her hospital shifts Just to give us a quality life, uh Now I'm chasin' this money I'm sick and tired of askin' what the price is And I'mma need me a couple of millions for my sacrifices
