First Verse:
Now this is for my niggas on the corner
Act bad, nigga do what`cha wanna
But`cha know they got a bigger eye on ya
Watchin`, watchin`, they watchin`
They got us livin` upon dreams
Comin` up on schemes
Quest for long green
We offin` the wrong team
Members seen December`s alot longer
Wind`s alot stronger, not too long, `fore they drop on ya
Then you got pneumonia, can`t be cured
Cuz you debt to a
BITCH, which you never met
Steady get along, but, check your tone nigga
Better get a zone cuz bills will split your home
It`s on, empty pockets make an empty conscience
If we honest, most of our real die over simple nonsense
But Tim has promised himself, and he is better
But I can`t lie
At times, I`m crooked as a Saint I
Ain`t I a hypocrite?
Or, am I excused cuz rules change so much? This shit so thick!
Even my lil` clique is out`chea lookin` out for partners
We`ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, makin` fool of us
Chorus:
THEY GOT US
Livin` up on dreams
Quest for long green
We offin` the wrong team
It`s sad life!
(4x)
Second Verse:
Nowadays,
Everybody got their lil` issue with pictures of Malcolm and Martin
But nobody`s takin` steps finishin` what they died startin`
Caught in this World of material
Baby serious
To save a nigga, it`s gone take a major miracle
THEY GOT US, clutchin` our riches when we pass niggas
But, they ridin` tougher, DAMN THEM SOME SMART BITCHES
Picture, runnin` off a chain
Changes are different and it`s strong enough to drag a truck or a train
Maintain! is what we holler
They game is what we follow
Claimin` our own kind on goals just to gain a dollar
Well who`s the mack?
And who`s the jackass?
Black ass just came and went, huh, that fast
And that`s sad, cuz he may have been a gift from God
You knocked off, and that`s the chance to lift us all
It`s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
But, tomorrow`s gettin` farther away
You best to pray
Let`s just say this on God
Cuz all our attempts at takin` flight, tend to land in the morgue
Lord, I lay me down to sleep
Take my soul and help me teach my people how we really could run the street
Cuz we beat
Chorus
