I know how it feels to wake up fucked up
Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell
People look at you like youre the user
Selling drugs to all the losers mad Buddha abuser
But they dont know about the stress-filled day
Baby on the way mad bills to pay
Thats why you drink Tanqueray
So you can reminisce and wish
You wasnt living so devilish s-shit
I remember I was just like you
Smoking blunts with my crew
Flipping over SIXTY-TWOs
Cause G-E-D wasnt B-I-G, I had to get P-A-I-D
Thats why my mom hates me
She was forced to kick me out, no doubt
Then I figured out Nicks went for twenty down south
Packed up my tools for my raw power move
Glock nineteen for casket and flower moves
Four chumps trying to stop my flow
And what they dont know will show on the autopsy
Went to see papi, to cop me a brick
Asked for some consignment and he wasnt trying to hear it
Smoking mad Newports cause Im doing court for an assault
That I caught in Bridgeport, New York
Catch me if you can like the ginger bread man
You better have your gat in hand
Cause man
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M
Still struggling, Survival got me buggin
Life as a shorty shouldnt be so rough
Still strugglin
Lay out your maintain
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
Had secondhands, moms bounced on old man
So then we moved to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, Lo goose
Only way I begin to G off was drug loot
And lets start it like this son, rolling with this one
And that one, pulling out Gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smoking woolies at 16
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way on fire escapes
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough all
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better, same damn Lo sweater
Times is rough and tough like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick tight clique and went all out
Catchin keys from across seas
Rollin in MPVs, every week we made forty Gs
Yo brothers respect mine, or anger the TEC-9
