I know sometimes I call girls hoes And I be cussin when I'm bustin my flows I try to tighten up But dollar signs keep lightin up In front of my face And I can taste it so I'm on this paper chase Waistin, my precious time Tryin to paste my grime Unaware of the finish line Niggas dyin, cuz Hook Now my past is gone And my future ain't shit Might as well hit a lick, cuz time tick And split second decisions decide if I live or die Forever rest face to the sky Life is like a motor burnin out You done heard it word a mouth And in the south everyday a title bout Between myself and I Eye to eye without a clue If it angers me it endangers you To the point where you got to smoke a joint Cause you frustrated Cussin out the girl you was datin Nigga, that girl trippin, leave her She feed you good, keep her Or smokin on this reefer I teach her, how to be seen and not be seen The phone ring, broad tryna' sell me dreams It's just a fling, but some, don't understand Some, won't understand Hash in the hand better than ass in the jean I gotta get the cheese by any means necassary Bullshit done got my cousin buried The way ya carry, done got his life took The love of money niggas get hooked Quicker than crack And that's a fact you find in no book And you can sho' look But you won't find none Life's a card game with no shuffle I got the bad hand, tryna' bluff Touchin pain, flushin shit down the drain Train ya girl to run trains Now who to blame?
