I'm just a soul survivor (yeah)
He is just trying to survive in this life.

Fuck the club, dawg, I rather count a million bucks (Ayy)
The singer doesn't care about partying, he'd rather count a million dollars.

Another day, another dolla (dolla)

He is still in the same place with the same people and the same money.

I guess we got the same dreams (Ayy)
They all have the same dreams.

Or is it the same nightmares (nightmares)

We let the thugs do it for us, we don't cry tears (that's right)

I'm knee deep in the game
The singer is deep into the game of life.

Gotta feed the block, niggaz starvin', they got appetites (ayy)
He has to provide for the people in his community who are hungry.

And this is everyday, it never gets old (old)
This is the reality every day and it never changes.

Thought I was a juvenile stuck to the G-Code (yeah)
He thought he was a kid following the G-Code, or street code.

This ain't a rap song, nigga this is my life (this is my life)
He is saying that this song is not just a rap song, it's his life.

And if the hood was a battlefield then I'd earn stripes (yeah)
If the hood was a battlefield like the military, he would earn stripes, or honors.

Gotta watch your every move 'cause them eyes be on you (eyes be on you)
He has to be careful because people are watching him.

Gotta drive real cool when them pie's be on you (pie's be on you)
He has to be careful when he is transporting drugs.

Just because we stack paper and we ball outrageous (ball outrageous)
Just because they have money and spend it lavishly.

Them alphabet boards gotta us under surveillance (ayy)
The police are watching them.

Like animals they lock us in cages
They are locked up like animals.

The same nigga that's a star when you put 'em on stages
People can be famous on stage but live a different life off-stage.

I ain't cheat, played the hand I was dealt
He didn't cheat, he just played with the cards he was dealt.

Tried to tax the grand pearl when I got it myself
He tried to charge more money when he got it himself.

(Let's get it) No nuts, no glory (no glory)
Let's do this, take risks, and earn the reward for it.

My biography, you damn right, the true story (yeah)
This song is his biography, the real story.

Set the city on fire, and I didn't even try (try)
The city is on fire because of the singer's actions.

Run these streets all day, I can sleep when I die (ayy)

Gotta watch your every move 'cause them eyes be on you (eyes be on you)
They have to be careful because people are watching them.

Gotta drive real cool when them pie's be on you (pie's be on you)
They have to be careful when transporting drugs.
