Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Be trappin' And I be snappin'
Pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen
(pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen)
My Momma rent due, my sister need shoes
And need some clothes to go to school
So if I go to jail, just know
I do it for you.(if I go to jail just know I do it for you)
I be standin' on the block with my Soulja Reeboks
Crack rocks, slide grade what you need I got
Serving to these fiends
Know its wrong but I'm raw
I had to leave them childish games alone
But its a struggle, that's why I hustle
Young nigga gotta taste them duffles
I'm gettin' cheese, a nigga ruffles
Boy get yo' racks up, can't build poor hustlers
[?]That's my family boy I Love Them
You watch over my shoulder when I'm standin on the corner
When the block hot, gettin' hotter then a sauna
Kidd went straight from A to the summer
Kidd Frank, 1waycamp, boy we comin' for ya'
Only keep on, off my problems
Sorry momma, but ya' son is a hustler

I can't be no Busta'
I Be trappin' And I be snappin'
Pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen
(pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen)
My Momma rent due, my sister need shoes
And need some clothes to go to school
So if I go to jail, just know
I do it for you.(if I go to jail just know I do it for you)

For my nigga Cool, locked down doing time
Damn I rhyme, that's my nigga swea' to God
Imma Hold it down. If I'm lyin' then I'm flyin'
Shot gun, if you ridin' then I'm ridin'
Need them racks now I put it all on the line
Them hoes on me but Im stayin' on the grind
Do it for you, Do it for me
Do it for we, do it for D Team
For Jay Green. Know ya' boy doin' 3's
We're 1K. Run & gain, Gunplay
Momma say imma make it one day
I say imma make it someday
& this for Mel, Enell, and Finell
Panamera, got me bleedin' thru the dell

Hittin licks, I be on the paper trail

Totin' pumps, smoking gas like a shell
Do it for us, do it for him, do it for them
Man this is for my shootas' posted under the rim
This for Keke, This For BeBe
Call me Stevie, they can't see me
Met a plug, now I'm on like the TV
Run up on me, burn em like a CD
Its Lil Kodak, They don't believe me
Half a Gold Truck & money feinin'
I Be trappin' And I be snappin'
Pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen
(pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen)
My Momma rent due, my sister need shoes
And need some clothes to go to school
So if I go to jail, just know
I do it for you.(if I go to jail just know I do it for you)
Lil nigga with some big dreams
To get my people outta struglin'
I won't stop hustlin'
Imma keep goin', and goin', and goin'
I hit licks for a livin', time wait for no man
Time wait for no man, I had to get it nigga time wait for no man
Dreams of being rich, never told no one the story
One day its gon' come true, Just wait on that Lil Homie
Pay off everything, Fuck them bills I got the money
Be the man of the house, be that nigga sense the money
Never been spoiled I had to get it on my own
Never been a girl, but imma look out for my family
Imma be the first nigga from my city with a grammy
Cause I do it from the heart, Put my pain into trappin
I be trappin', Snappin'
Purses gettin' snatched. Ski masked up
I was breakin' in them houses. Flip ya' mattress
Got to have it, Where the Jewelry, electronics
Luck up on them Licks Dry Cats up in the Cabinets
1WayFrank Imma Menace II Society, I do it for my family
I do it for my family
Imma Menace II society
I Be trappin' And I be snappin'
Pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen
(pockets touchin' so I had to make it happen)
My Momma rent due, my sister need shoes
And need some clothes to go to school




So if I go to jail, just know
I do it for you.(if I go to jail just know I do it for you)
