(So-So, Soul Soundz)
(Think we found a loophole)
Gangsta pain (turn me up YC)
Gotta feel this

Give 'em your all, they gon' say you never gave 'em nothin' (never gave 'em nothin')
I go hard in this shit because I came from nothin' (because I came from nothin')
Barely had clothes, lights was off, you know my mama was strugglin'
It's bringin' tears to my eyes, I wanna change the subject (change the subject)
Yeah, no more pain and sufferin' (pain and sufferin')
They tell me, "Switch it up" but I won't change for nothin' (I can't change)
Ain't got no change on me, now I tip the waitress a hunnid
If we ain't choppin' 'bout no paper, then let's change the subject (change the subject)

In the streets I'm movin' right, just out here dodgin' 12 (strategic)
Makin' sure everybody straight, sometimes you forget yourself (that's easy)
I won't cross no one I love, but fuck everybody else (nah for real)
Certain scars never heal, real street niggas hard to kill (can't die)
I just hope I see the top, showed they hand
I wash my hand but they ain't been doin' that a lot (straight)
I tell everybody I'm good, 'cause what you gon' do if I'm not? (Huh?)
Traumatized, I'm from the hood, won't hesitate to fire no shots (baow-baow-baow, go, yeah)
I remember mama crying 'bout her light bill (like damn)
I told mama wipe her tears, your son got a skill (we in)
Piss poor, Walker Homes didn't know what was real (lost)
Got a deal, couple niggas mad still

Give 'em your all, they gon' say you never gave 'em nothin' (never gave 'em nothin')
I go hard in this shit because I came from nothin' (because I came from nothin')
Barely had clothes, lights was off, you know my mama was strugglin'
It's bringin' tears to my eyes, I wanna change the subject (change the subject)
Yeah, no more pain and sufferin' (pain and sufferin')
They tell me, "Switch it up" but I won't change for nothin' (I can't change)




Ain't got no change on me, now I tip the waitress a hunnid
If we ain't choppin' 'bout no paper, then let's change the subject (change the subject)
