Us against the world
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like me against the world
Like me against the world
Coming where I'm coming from is real ain't no faking it
Money made me happy and it ruined my relationships
If I got it then you got it you won't ever have to pay for shit
Locked in with the real and fuss or fight we ain't going change up shit
Everybody want to rap and everybody want the juice
Came up by my lonely while all you niggas needed groups
And I still show my respect and it's no love lost but
Everybody walking around like niggas got some shit to prove
View park or Winsdor Hills I'm trying to live comfortably
I can care less about who with me and who fuck with me
But when you ask about who working hard just think about discussing me
If I say I got you then it's real you know it's stuck with me
I looked out for niggas they ain't look out for me
Ain't tripping of the shit it was
Look at what it's about to be
Still got love for those who dissed me and be doubting me
Tell whoever got this shit on lock that I done stole the key
Ain't even make it yet I'm feeling like I made it out
Can't tell you all the shit that we done been through
Had a mission it was all about the paper route
They tell me speak and let the whole world feel you
Ain't even make it yet I'm feeling like I made it out
Can't tell you all the shit that we done been through
Had a mission it was all about the paper route
They tell me speak and let the whole world feel you
But they goin' hate on me regardless Gio told me that's a given
My mama tell me speak my truth and one day they goin' listen
Take your L's in private keep the people out your business
Stick to the code and just grind tunnel vision
Ain't ask for life to be like this but this is how it got to be
Name another nigga who my age that's working hard as me
Knowing they going talk they shit but I can't let it bother me
If it ain't about my money or my bitch then why you calling me?
I promise I'm a set the bar told my girl I'm going far
Cause mama said I'm going and she known for giving birth to stars
Talk to my little sister everyday cause she got half my heart
Your older brother going through some shit know he got battle scars
Give a fuck about some diamonds and some pearls
My niggas never broke the code because they thorough
I can't wait til' I have me a little girl
I feel like Pac it's just me against the world
Ain't even make it yet I'm feeling like I made it out
Can't tell you all the shit that we done been through
Had a mission it was all about the paper route
They tell me speak and let the whole world feel you
Ain't even make it yet I'm feeling like I made it out
Can't tell you all the shit that we done been through
Had a mission it was all about the paper route
They tell me speak and let the whole world feel you
They tell me speak and let the whole world feel you
They tell me speak and let the whole world feel you




Feel you
They tell me speak and let the whole world feel you
