[Hook - 2x]
Here we go again, living life on the run
Here we go again, they got me riding with my gun
Here we go again, man this shit is a trip
Here we go, again

[Lil' Keke]
How the hell you gon win, looking at ten in the Penn
Living in sin, bout to go back again
Ducking the government, and running from the sleigh
Got money to infiltrate, and I still ain't straight
It's a hard life, when you depend on love
It ain't no way for you to change, you was born a thug
You ain't ready for the war, these streets'll eat you alive
Trying to get all that I can get, because I want to survive
They say pressure bust the pipes, shit they speaking the truth
I probably been pulled a trigga, if I didn't have loot
I'm from the bottom, niggaz and killas baby we got em
Dope fiends and crumb snatchers, that's straight riding
Couldn't even see myself, trying to do it again
Gotta be ready for whatever, in the places I've been
This shit a trip mayn, but I ain't gon even let it worry me
A soldier for life, true to the game you heard me

[Hook - 2x]

[Lil' Keke]
These niggaz hating and jacking, so it's official
Everytime I ride, I'm strapped with fo' nickel
Times getting tough, and FED's getting rough
I stay on the mash, cause I ain't never got enough
Trying to make it through the storm, so I could see the other side
A nigga be dead, without his nuts and his pride
This game worldwide, I take it how it come
We living so raw, up in the city that I'm from
Each and every year, the system is start switching
Seven out of ten of these niggaz, gon be snitching
Oh you rights done rocked up, you better be glocked up
Cause niggaz go for broke, when the traffic is stopped up
For real, I'm talking boys getting shot
I know your hood off the chain, but these streets is hot
It's a mad shame, in this shife dirty game
We black and caught up, with nobody to blame

[Hook - 2x]

[Lil' Keke]
I pray to the Lord, for this soul of mine
I've been chasing down the clock, he got me stuck up in time
Niggaz living for the fame, I want the money and power
And I promised my old man, I wouldn't be no coward
So I'm living my dream, yeah a neighborhood legend
Steaks on the plate, I ain't got time for the begging
My family is fed, with nice sheets on the bed
Artillery and surveillance, glocks with infrared
Niggaz want me dead, but I'm far from scared
Cause I swear, I'ma come where you lay your head
Cause I'm a outlaw nigga, catch the straight feeling
All about charges, hustle for a living
My testimony, is to never be phony
Lil' Keke the Don, CMG the one and only
I place a nice bet, that I'm a ghetto vet
And it's Herschel Wood for life, representing my set





[Hook - 2x]

Line by Line Meaning

Here we go again, living life on the run
Starting the cycle again, always on the move to stay alive and free


Here we go again, they got me riding with my gun
Back to carrying a weapon for protection from enemies and the law


Here we go again, man this shit is a trip
It's surreal to be constantly facing danger and risking everything


Here we go, again
Repeating the same patterns and facing the same challenges


How the hell you gon win, looking at ten in the Penn
It seems impossible to succeed with the looming possibility of a ten-year prison sentence


Living in sin, bout to go back again
Continuing to break the law and facing the consequences again


Ducking the government, and running from the sleigh
Avoiding authorities and escaping their pursuit


Got money to infiltrate, and I still ain't straight
Having resources to work against the system but still not being secure


It's a hard life, when you depend on love
Life is difficult when you rely on the support of those around you


It ain't no way for you to change, you was born a thug
There's no escaping the life you were brought up in and the person you've become


You ain't ready for the war, these streets'll eat you alive
The streets are unforgiving and dangerous, and not everyone can handle them


Trying to get all that I can get, because I want to survive
Working hard to acquire everything needed to stay alive and free


They say pressure bust the pipes, shit they speaking the truth
The stress and strain of life can cause one to crack and make mistakes


I probably been pulled a trigga, if I didn't have loot
If not for the money earned through illegal means, he would have turned to violence


I'm from the bottom, niggaz and killas baby we got em
Grew up in poverty surrounded by dangerous people


Dope fiends and crumb snatchers, that's straight riding
Drug addicts and petty thieves are everywhere, causing chaos


Couldn't even see myself, trying to do it again
Can't imagine going through the same cycle of crime and danger


Gotta be ready for whatever, in the places I've been
Need to be prepared for all kinds of situations in the dangerous environments he frequents


This shit a trip mayn, but I ain't gon even let it worry me
Life is surreal and insane, but he's trying not to let it get to him

Will always be a fighter and dedicated to the street life

Enemies are trying to steal from and harm him, and it's a well-known fact


Everytime I ride, I'm strapped with fo' nickel
Always carrying a gun for self-defense


Times getting tough, and FED's getting rough
Life is getting harder, and the FBI is cracking down


I stay on the mash, cause I ain't never got enough
Continuously hustling and working hard because he never has enough money


Trying to make it through the storm, so I could see the other side
Struggling to survive and overcome obstacles to achieve success


A nigga be dead, without his nuts and his pride
Losing one's dignity and self-respect is akin to death in this world


This game worldwide, I take it how it come
The street life is everywhere, and he accepts it for what it is


We living so raw, up in the city that I'm from
Life is tough and gritty where he grew up


Each and every year, the system is start switching
The laws and ways of the system are constantly changing


Seven out of ten of these niggaz, gon be snitching
Most will betray their fellow criminals to save themselves


Oh you rights done rocked up, you better be glocked up
When the police approach, be ready with a gun


Cause niggaz go for broke, when the traffic is stopped up
When business slows down, people become desperate and more dangerous


For real, I'm talking boys getting shot
The violence is real and not just a threat


I know your hood off the chain, but these streets is hot
The neighborhood may be wild, but the real danger is in the streets


It's a mad shame, in this shife dirty game
The street life is a chaotic and immoral game


We black and caught up, with nobody to blame
As black people stuck in this life, there's no one else to hold responsible


I pray to the Lord, for this soul of mine
Seeking spiritual guidance and protection


I've been chasing down the clock, he got me stuck up in time
Trying to make the most of his limited time while the clock keeps ticking


Niggaz living for the fame, I want the money and power
Others may want attention, but he just wants financial stability and control


And I promised my old man, I wouldn't be no coward
Being brave and taking risks was instilled in him by his father


So I'm living my dream, yeah a neighborhood legend
Fulfilling his aspirations of being respected and known in his community


Steaks on the plate, I ain't got time for the begging
Having the means to provide for his family and not having to ask for help


My family is fed, with nice sheets on the bed
Being able to provide basic comforts and luxury for his loved ones


Artillery and surveillance, glocks with infrared
Having weapons and security measures for protection


Niggaz want me dead, but I'm far from scared
Enemies may be after him, but he's not afraid


Cause I swear, I'ma come where you lay your head
Vowing to seek revenge and retaliate against those who threaten him


Cause I'm a outlaw nigga, catch the straight feeling
A true criminal who feels the emotions and consequences of his actions


All about charges, hustle for a living
Engaged in criminal activities for survival and financial gain


My testimony, is to never be phony
Being real and true to oneself is important


Lil' Keke the Don, CMG the one and only
Establishing himself as a respected and unique figure in the street world


I place a nice bet, that I'm a ghetto vet
Having extensive experience and knowledge of the ghetto life


And it's Herschel Wood for life, representing my set
Loyal to his neighborhood and gang for life


[Hook - 2x]
Repeating the cycle again and again
