They tell me focus on my future
But all I see is present and past
Had to talk to my momma thru a peice of glass
Seen grown men die for a peice of ass
The most respected men were the first to blast
Locked down going against the grain of the game wrong
No longer a child it pays to think now
Terrorists run wild in the streets of the Tennessee
Hustle hard get up on your feet and get blew away
Your either a predator (err) or its prey
Probably don`t feel me if you aint living this way
Display patience today can be the day fuck fear
I`m a die either way people say give it up but
I`ve been in it for years I`m the topic of trash talk
To fuck with spilled beer I`m still here
Unlike most of my peers
Contributed blood sweet and tears to my career going...
Up, Down, Round & Round
City from city, and town to town
We got some money in the past but the time is now.
We been be Up, We been down
We been round & round
We didn`t didn`t come to play, joke, fuck around
We came to work motherfuckers better buckle down
I get mine sixteen bars at a time
You wont find many rhymes that are harder than mine
What I got to do break necks just to get checks
Sign with Suge Knight to get some respect
Drink cristal drive a brand new roles
Suck Carson Daily`s dick just to be on his show
Fuck no, I aint with no kissing no ass
Even if it means being broke and getting no cash
I rather lay bricks then politic with you fake tricks
I feel like Keanu Reaves caught up in the hatred
I had my game sulted concentration broken
Explaining pill popping and the marijuana smoking
Warning you don`t want to play with me
I`m not a die like the N-Y-F-D going...
Up, Down, Round & Round
City from city, and town to town
We got some money in the past but the time is now.
We been be Up, We been down
We been round & round
Life aint no joke stop smiling gun shoots and sirens
It pays to be trifling in this environment
Violence jumps in a instant
One must train to condition if intending to go the distance
Persistence pays to pray I put it down
Once was lost but now I`m found
Was blind but now I see
Millions of motherfuckers live just like me
Lord have mercy have everyone down in the dirty
Commit murder for money It`s hell being hungry
Stress like this turn doctors into junkies
The ground here is bloody no man can judge me
Ya I remember when I was young used to run with the crooks
Kept my ass in trouble should of had my nose in books
But I was seldom seen in the class room
Id be tryna get green shoot dice in the bath room
Up, Down, Round & Round
City from city, and town to town
We got some money in the past but the time is now.
We been be Up, We been down
We been round & round
