Life, pain
[Hook]
It`s so hard to survive in this world of pain
I feel like I`m goin` crazy so I`ma shell my brain
My niggaz out here droppin` off over rocks and thangs
Mama never told me life was such a dirty game
[Lifty Stokes]
I hold my glock to my chest, yes my steel is cold
I pray to God to come to rescue me and save my soul
I reminisce on my past life
Ever since I was a young shorty I didn`t act right
Live for the street life
Yellin`, What it be like?
Nigga we Folks
Money makin` hustlaz from the Westside and it shows
In these past years, shit it`s been a hell of 25
Back in `91, I didn`t even think I`d be alive
I was sellin` jewelry to rocks, and rocks to weed
Off at the comfort zone G with a fifth of T`s and B`s
Ready to do whatever, young with a pocket full of cheddar
No thoughts of stackin` just ballin`, picture me fallin` nigga never
In this lifetime
But I had to grieve for awhile
Cause a nigga fell off hard but I got my ass back on the grind
And hit the streets like a mad man, goin` against the grain
With dried tears on my face from the pain of this dirty game
Hook 2x`s
[Todd Nitty]
Fresh out the pen and can`t maintain
Wanna go and hit the block, be on the same thang
Tryin` to serve some cain up in this dirty game
Cause you did a lil` bit, think ain`t shit changed
You wrong boy, these shorties out here misled
You fuck around and catch a bullet in yo forehead
Ya heard me?
This ain`t the 80`s where you get a nickel sack and a hoodrat
A 40-ounce of Red Bull and blow yo wig back
Nigga fuck that, this the year 2-G
Where the toughest muthafucka get left 6-feet deep
So don`t sleep, cause the scariest nigga`ll pull the trigga
Put 2 in 300 pounds, so that makes you a killa
Oh really, could you be that silly
To think you gon` take over a block where I be ?? nigga forget it
Don`t make me have to blow yo brains
In this fucked up world, this fucked up life, this fucked up game
Hook 2x`s
[Twista]
Hey nug, for some reason at night I can`t sleep
When I lay down, I keep tossin` and turnin`
There`s somethin` wrong but I don`t know what`s wrong with me
Eyes burnin`
Cause sometimes I burst into tears when ain`t nobody home with me
Stress from thoughts of survival just rushed my dome quickly
Y`all better come on get me
Cause I bout to do somethin` so muthafuckin` drastic
Instead of writin` essays like grabbin` SK`s
With one of the best ways that I know to feed my family
Cause y`all ain`t foolin` me
Y`all people plannin` a way for my people to read my eulogy
I see what y`all bogus ass doin`, y`all plannin` on hurtin` me
Used to be crucifyin` or burnin` me
Now you eliminatin` paper currency
Terrorizin` with technology
And that Y2K shit, I don`t know why you play with the chosen guys
The wool ain`t no longer pulled over my eyes
Gots to get some scratch and I gotta get it soon
We about to be doomed
Do somethin` for the kids before I go to my tomb
Gotta bust this thang and maybe then thangs gon` change
Tryin` to check mine, cause all of it on y`all I can`t blame
Maintain, it`s a strange game
At times you gotta throw blows for the gold
It`s a long road, some of us do shit despite losin` our soul
Got cold flows but it`s strange, I still can`t get no change
Bout to be insane
Tryin` to pay the bills but still straight causin` pain
It`s a dirty game
Hook 2x`s
Dirty - dirty - dirty game
Dirty game
Such a dirty game
