If I Don't Gotta
Silkk The Shocker Lyrics

Yo, P was happening dog
Silkk is greeting Master P and asking what's going on.

Ah man, it's still a dross you know, but the game then change these youngstas than made it bad, you know we all about our paper but some of these fools just make and take murder. They want it the easy way.
Silkk and Master P are acknowledging that the game is tough but some young people have made it worse by taking shortcuts and resorting to violence to earn money.

See I don't want to be here, If I don't gotta, My weed habit, is so close to snorting powder, Got a few bitches, but it's all about a dollar, and they don't holla, unless you moving narcota
Silkk is saying that he doesn't want to be in the game if he doesn't have to be, but he's hooked on drugs and needs money to support his lifestyle. Women only want him if he's involved in the drug trade.

I'm just sitting in my Cadillac, Riding on some triple gold, Smoking octamos,nigga, Shining up my vogues
Silkk is chilling in his car, smoking weed and shining up his wheels.

Thanking this hoe called me, and she was tripping out, say I had a baby by her, figuring I was taking out
Silkk is thanking a woman who accused him of fathering a child with her, but he knew she was lying to try and get money out of him.

I'm just trying stack a meal,no what I'm saying, that shit real, trying to hide and dodge, but I can't seem to hid my fucking bill
Silkk is trying to make money and save up, but his expenses keep piling up and he can't avoid his debts.

On how to cook dope, and chop a key, My brother showed me that, I only live once,guess what, A dope fiend told me that
Silkk learned how to make drugs and sell them from his brother, and he justifies it by saying he only lives once and a drug addict told him that.

These hoes be trying to holla, It seems that I got riches, When I got money, I got bitches, I got friends that want to get it, Can he hit it, then quit it
Silkk attracts women when he has money and even his friends want to be with him to try and make some of his money.

To try to survive and stay alive, It's a everyday struggle,every day hustle, You can see it in my eye, but I don't want to die, I don't want to be here If I don't gotta
Silkk is trying to survive in the game and make money but he acknowledges that it's hard and he doesn't want to stay if he doesn't have to.

Man I might have a daughter, No money, no life, Check it shocker, just bills, hanging because, Not giving, a fuck, and I'm telling you what's real
Fiend is saying that he might have a child but he doesn't have any money to support it and he's just trying to survive and pay his bills.

You want to know what kill, Most of these niggas on these streets, is jive, I don't know why, these you cats out here thank they got nine lives, I die for me, with pride, And I then lost the closes thing to me
Fiend is saying that most people die in the streets because they are foolish and don't realize how dangerous it is. He has lost people he cares about and is willing to die for himself.

Pretty fucked up trading, or i got some killas that want to do me, Them girls trying to blue me, What all I trying do, is what I love, Let my people know I feel them,(?) And then go smoke some bud
Fiend is worried that people might come after him and he's just trying to make music and connect with his fans before relaxing with some weed.

I got a habit with drugs, Which I ain't suggesting for beginners, In my hood, ain't no winners, just some thugging ass sinners
Fiend admits that he has a drug habit but doesn't endorse it. He says that in his neighborhood, there are no winners, just people who live a life of crime.

Presenta, my life, my life, and take a good view, My bad days, i wouldn't dare want to wish them upon you.
Fiend says that his life is hard and he wouldn't wish his bad days on anyone.

Now see I didn't ask to come here, I guest untwisted faith of luck, 15 minutes of unprotected sex, in a heat of moment, came a quick ass nut
Silkk is saying that he didn't choose to be born but it was just luck that he was conceived. He was the result of a quick sexual encounter.

Now if I wouldn't been born, I wouldn't grew, I wouldn't knew, Never had to go through, half the tangs a nigga went through
Silkk is saying that if he wasn't born, he wouldn't have experienced the tough life he has lived and wouldn't know about the struggles he has gone through.

I'm in the projects hearing gunshots, Right before I close my eyes, All I heard was one shot, And they only sent one cop when he died
Silkk is living in a dangerous neighborhood where he hears gunshots and the police don't do much to help when someone dies.

They say rain brang pain, But what brang smiles, And see I guess I was to caught up in those fake niggas, And bitches to know
Silkk is wondering what brings happiness in life, and realizes that he was too focused on fake people to realize what's truly important.

I guess I was blind by the fast money, and switches on the 64, They gotta, gotta be a better way out, then hell or jail
Silkk realizes that he was too focused on making money and driving fancy cars to see that there has to be a better way out of the game than going to prison or dying.

I know I'm wrong for selling dope to my family, Just to get mail, Some get high off of sess, To relieve their stress, But no matter, how much success, You can't cheat death
Silkk acknowledges that selling drugs to his own family was wrong but he did it to make money. He also knows that some people get high to cope with stress but no matter how successful you are, you can't avoid death.

Heard that, can't get no reiller than this, I don't want to be here if I don't have to.
Master P agrees with Silkk and acknowledges that the situation is real. He also says he doesn't want to be there if he doesn't have to be.
