0:01

I woke up this morning, I had a boner

0:04

I went to sleep last night with no bitch, nigga, I was a loner

0:07

I be going through shit, losin' bitches and homies

0:11

If I don't make it with this rap shit, nigga, I might be homeless

0:14

My moms don't got a job, my pop's checks ain't enough

0:17

If ain't bringin' home that money, my whole family is fucked

0:20

I swear I move like the mob, I'm watchin' movies too much

0:23

If niggas wanted you dead, what would you suggest?

0:27

They wonder why I do drugs and hang with thugs

0:30

Since I made it the city hated, wait, where is the love?

0:33

I ride around with my gun, this is not for fun

0:37

I stay protected cause my homie just took one to the lung

0:40

Had him on life support, where's the family support?

0:43

He knew who shot him, but he ain't even show up in court

0:47

Yeah, that's a real G, nigga, he on a kill spree, nigga

0:50

The homie popped him so I hope he don't kill me, nigga

0:53

That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'

0:56

That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'

1:00

1:16

I be going through some things, you don't know what I've been thinkin'

1:20

Now I'm ridin' through traffic with 2Pac blastin'

1:23

With a bitch that's irritatin' from all these questions she askin'

1:26

Like what bitches I fucked, when, how and where

1:30

You ain't my main bitch so why the fuck do you care

1:33

That's why bitches get fucked, then turn around and get left

1:36

Somebody need to teach them less talk, more sex

1:39

I'm pressed when I'm stressed, my granny tell me I'm blessed

1:42

Well, why the fuck do Jesus Christ got me goin' through this shit?

1:46

Everybody need favors, what happens if I go broke?

1:49

Or say I ain't got it, then buy my lolo some new spokes

1:52

Right up in your fake setup, fuck you up like some mace

1:56

So fuck your handout, give a young nigga some space

1:59

Give a nigga some Ace, give me a blunt that's laced

2:02

Sprinkle some molly in it, watch me take this shit to my face

2:05

The snitch is the shooter, they took time away from his case

2:09

Holy shit, oh lawd, where is the world today?

2:12

That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'

2:15

That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'

2:38

I swear this industry shit, to me is one big ass lick

2:42

I walk inside of a buildin', tell the A&R nigga strip

2:45

Tell 'em I need all of my chips, my life been known Section 8

2:48

I've been a welfare case, AFDC pump fake

2:52

Meanwhile I'm grindin' cause drug money ain't like rap money

2:55

Four white kilo snow bunny, equal one whole show, dummy

2:58

I'm on this tour bus and I'm fucked

3:00

Up, I got a bad call, they killed Braze

3:02

They killed Chad my big homie Pup

3:04

Puppy eyes in my face, bruh, and I've really been drinkin'

3:06

Why the fuck I've really been smokin'?

3:08

What the fuck, I'm the sober one

3:10

When I'm so stressed out I can't focus

3:11

Hideout when I ride out, ski mask with the eyes out

3:14

Speed past in the Cutlass-me and little Ocho

3:16

And we young nigga hop out

3:17

2 tears in a bucket, I feel like fuck it

3:19

That's the price of fame, recognize my pain, that's all I know

3:21

All alone, but I'm out here though

3:23

Call my troops like vamonos

3:24

I'm on this tour bus and I'm fucked up

3:26

I got a bad call, and it's all bad

3:28

Off OG with my OG and some OE, by the tall glass
