(Nico)
(Drum Dummie made the beat and I′m gon' kill it)
Ayy, ayy
Ayy
Look
Stop fuckin′ 'round and go and get some money
Rather go poor than to get paid lookin' like a dummy
That money came and niggas changed, I should′ve saw it comin' (Shit)
Fuck that, everybody left, but I′ma get it right
They say I changed, shit, whatever help you sleep at night
We pray to God, but we knowin' we gon′ sin again
Whoever wanna go to war, we can get it in, yeah
Hustle, they constantly hatin'
Grindin', no time to be patient
Prison, the judge wanna take me
I found a positive way
Yeah, I found a way to be great
In my own way, I′m amazin′
Life is as raw as you make it
For years, my heart been vacant
I'm runnin′, my demons behind me
I'm goin′ fast as my legs will take me, no need to remind me
Just gamble your life, I'ma take it
Pick up the phone, I′m callin' my mama to tell her I made it
I love all my niggas, you know if you play with me, they go crazy
Mmm, this kind of shit in my body
If you with that shit, why you hidin'?
I′m thuggin′, can see it in my eyes, yeah
Don't get in my car unless you finna ride, yeah
You ain′t goin' home, tell your baby bye
Can′t be with no snitch, know he gon' testify
I′m too deep for tears, no, ain't no need to cry
Huh, boy, stop fuckin' ′round, better get on your grind
That′s what they told me before I started ridin'
Stop fuckin′ 'round and go and get some money
That′s what they told me 'fore I hit the block and started hustlin′
Rather go poor than to get paid lookin' like a dummy
That money came and niggas changed, I should've saw it comin′ (Shit)
Fuck that, everybody left, but I′ma get it right
They say I changed, shit, whatever help you sleep at night
We pray to God, but we knowin' we gon′ sin again
Whoever wanna go to war, we can get it in, yeah
Whoever want it, we can get it in
Know it's probably many men
He′ll turn to a pig, why he ain't got many friends
Keep a rod, bitch, I′m reelin' 'em in
I′m spinnin′ again and they sin
The second place is the first loser, bitch, I'm in it to win
I need first place
Spot him, I got him, gon′ drop him, pop him on his birthday
My partners got choppers, they trippin', get him in the worst way
That lil′ nigga puttin' on a show, we close his curtains, ayy
Fourteen, I was a man, like, what the church say?
Murder, ayy
That lil′ nigga hot, he caught a murder case
Diss me, bitch, I want your head, fuck your wordplay
Look, you don't know shit, then you gon' learn today
I′ll fill a nigga up with lead and watch him burn away, Peezy
Stop fuckin′ 'round and go and get some money
That′s what they told me 'fore I hit the block and started hustlin′
Rather go poor than to get paid lookin' like a dummy
That money came and niggas changed, I should′ve saw it comin' (Shit)
Fuck that, everybody left, but I'ma get it right
They say I changed, shit, whatever help you sleep at night
We pray to God, but we knowin′ we gon′ sin again
Whoever wanna go to war, we can get it in, yeah
