No two days are alike, except the 1st and 15th pretty muchĪnd trust, is a word you seldom hear from us Your blood boils, you in a spot knowin' cops could rush Good-bye to the game all the spoils, the adrenaline rush.That same dude you gave nothing, I made something doing. See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewelsĭo you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?.That's when our signals got crossed, and we got flipped. We was so happy poor but when we got rich You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6 Shopping sprees, pull out your Visa quickĪ nigga had very bad credit, you helped me lease that whip Watching Bonnie and Clyde, pretending to be that shitĮmpty gun in your hand saying, 'Let me see that clip' On repeat, the CD of B.I.G.'s 'Me and My Bitch'.I ball for real: y'all niggas is Sam BowieĪnd with the third pick, I made the earth sickīut every time I hit the ground I bounce up like round ball.

(Where you disappear to, son?) Maintaining Putting myself in a position most of these rappers ain't in I'm living, the ill street blues got you hunger painin' Nothing to gain and a whole lot to lose, you still singing, fool I'm thorough, in every borough, my name be ringing.That's right it's wicked, that's life, I live it I used to say Fuck mic skills, I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot
