Barbed Wire

[Produced by Sounwave] [Intro] One time, reporting live Compton, California [Verse 1] Have you ever felt like, like you never get life? Like you never get right? Sort of like a black sheep Back down, backing out your dreams like some bad sleep Chasing for the wind but you never win the track meet Oh, what a cold world for a broke nigga, it's bitter And life's a bitch, don't hit women so I bit her I struck enough pain let her know I wasn't playing I was so sincere like Nas first name, in Belly They tell me, its very difficult to see 25 And if I survive it'll probably be with a celly My opportunities are low because my brown complexion floats In the ghetto rather in some heels like Giuseppe's They want me unemployed, until I hit the streets Fulfilling voids of broke D-Boys selling weed Fucking up my prestige, 'til I live with the blues BB King or the neighbors of Snoop, that's why I'm [Hook] In the club like fuck it, though They say it's only one life, life, life And if you say I can't live comfortable I'mma tell you that's a lie, lie, lie [Bridge 1] So while I hold this bottle of Ciroc With a hand full of ass Celebrate the very day that I get past (Through the barbed wire) [Break] We are, we are (fine) We are, we are (true) Through the, through barbed (wires) We will, will break (through) [Bridge 1] [Verse 2] Have you ever felt like, like you never get life Like you never did right? Sort of like a black sheep Tryna get away from the World stereotype Barbed wire got a barricade on your destiny, she desperately In need of some inspiration, see what the people saying She gon have a baby then flee from her education At the age of 16, credit card scam schemes See a scar on her eye, boyfriend brutality She will never get by, no how no way Welfare recipient, property of the state Housing, Section 8, corner store, prostitute The owner bout to prosecute, the niggas tell her that she's cute Hood rat trashy, six baby daddies And this baby daddy, is new to the family Chilling in pajamis, waiting on the first Fast forward spilling drinks on her fur, that's why she [Hook] [Bridge 2] So while she up in VIP Pouring Merlot in the glass Celebrate the very day that she get past (Through the barbed wire) [Break] + [Bridge 2] [Verse 3] Have you ever felt like, you finally got life You finally got right? No longer a black sheep Living off ya dreams like Christina uh-Milian In the front seat of a convertible eloping to get married What a feeling of overcoming the odds It's like I just hit the lottery, my God There must be a God, cause golly You done made it through the fight while squabbling Ali Now ya lifestyles looking up and you escaped the crooked cops And you ain't have to kill a nigga just to make a couple bucks And she ain't have to go and fuck on everybody for a dollar Making good decisions, got an independent business mind And both of ya'll are steady grindin, doing it the legal way Just tryna make a decent pay on every second of the day But they won't give you the credit, disses out they mouth You must have joined the Illuminati just to ball out [Hook] [Bridge 3] So even though you overcame doubt and ya living ain't bad Know there's a barbed wire that's always in your path (Through the barbed wire) [Outro] And everybody say... (Cause I won't get caught again And I'm here to stop the trends You can catch me if you try Disappear into the night, and I'm gone) [Interlude] - So you made it past all the barbed wires? - There's one more left (*gunshot*)
