Or do crime and hustle and still struggle at the same time Stay wonderin when the next time we might eat We pack heat and run from police like a track meet I'm tryin to acquire the cheddar to make my life better Rock Gucci sweaters, push Beamers with the headers But right now ain't nothin lavish for my members In and out of jail for the past 2 Decembers I even seen a kingpin get stripped naked in Sing-Sing Used to be a thug, but in jail he's somebody thing-thing I ain't tryin to look jiggy when I'm runnin from Miss Piggy Cause fancy n***as get extorted kinda quickly in the city [ VERSE 4: McGruff ] Puff 'dro from the _High Times_ Committin organized crimes Ski mask disguise mine Slid by the guidelines Bust off like fire nines Stalk, I shine, frauds talkin jive rhymes Get they earth took, n***a frontin like Herb shook The dirt book, run with thirst crooks, 8th and the 3rd look Word look, smoke you like purple hayze herb cook Caught a pie from these oyeys on my first jook f** it, yo, life's a b**h, gotta love it though All I ever wanted was knots and buck the flow Have a mansion, dope parties with a tubble-mo You know how the sh** goes Fly hoes strip clothes and my kitkos
