Helluva Made This Beat, Baby
You don't know the half I done been through
Look look

I done been through it
I done been through it
You don't know the half I done been through
Everything goes bad when it's getting good

Could be runnin' so fast
Still ain't gettin' to it
I done been through it
I done been through it
You don't know the half I done been through
Everything goes bad when it's getting good
Everything goes bad when it's getting good

Look i done been through it
I done been through it
You wanna learn about this street shit?
Well let's get into it
Nobody handin' out shit free
If you want it prove it
Choppa' blow up a nigga car
Like he ain't got no coolin'
Ain't have no bullets in my pistol
Then I wasn't goin to school
My teacher tellin' the principal
I don't follow rules
My family can't even tell me shit
How I'm gon' follow you?
Lotta people wash they hands wit me
Might as well follow suit
Found out bout' my baby
Same month that I caught a case
It was driving me crazy
You could see it on my face
Pain was eatin' me day by day
Every phone call
But couldn't let em try me like no pussy
No hidin' no way this shit be crazy how they
Locked and nobody will visit
But on yo dick when you got stacks
And you rob in the trenches
I swear them leeches will suck you til'
You dry if you wit' it
I swear them leeches will suck you til'
You dry if you wit' it peezy

I done been through it
I done been through it
You don't know the half I done been through
Everything goes bad when it's getting good
Could be runnin' so fast
Still ain't gettin' to it
I done been through it
I done been through it
You don't know the half I done been through
Everything goes bad when it's getting good
Everything goes bad when it's getting good

I, been through a lotta shit
You wouldn't cook me a meal when I
Ain't have a pot to piss
All of these niggas who plottin
Why would I watch the bitches always on key
She can go suck on somebody dick
Hop out the Benz
Was runnin' from them cops plottin'
To hop the fence fuck around, pull out my
(locks?) cause I know how to win
Notha' nigga told me his plans
Plottin' robbin' his friend
I fuck round pray to god for forgiveness
But no I'm finna' sin
How I'm gon' stack for a rainy
Day when I'm in the storm?
Lil bruh' that shootin' ain't count
Cause you shot em in the arm
Lil bruh' this street shit ain't for you
You better go to prom
Watchin out for setups
Inhalin' this pressure in my lungs

I done been through it
I done been through it
You don't know the half I done been through
Everything goes bad when it's getting good
Could be runnin' so fast
Still ain't gettin' to it
I done been through it
I done been through it
You don't know the half I done been through

Everything goes bad when it's getting good
Everything goes bad when it's getting good
