lyrics

I say them nugs feel good in my chest where they rest at
bless the cat wit them bags of the wet-wet
it got a nigga's head set, people passing out on me
i ain't been to bed yet, it's been a long week
first started with a call from my ex
telling me one of her students shot herself through the neck
and it don't get no better, only twelve years old, had a suicide letter
now, what could make this little girl think
that taking her life would justify anything
i'm just an ordinary guy must must intervene
when it's things like this it affects the whole team
kids think they old only in their late teens
life expectancy shorter than lil cease
grand-daughters diseased and raising seeds
barely know how to breathe and got kids to lead
mouths to feed, and they man like, look chick
ima be up out this piece,
tough shit but sometimes it's the chick that leaves
bump clits with another chick and switch her beliefs
i done seen stranger shit before believe you me
if you don't believe me ask one of my peeps
they tell ya chris ain't lying and his flows is deep
he got 0's for cheap,
the smell from the dro in his sneaks give you the creeps
on the mike, i don't think you want it with he
switch back first person, i don't think you want it with me
on the beats on the streets or puffing the tree
you gotta learn something from me , whether it be
about family, insanity , cops bagging me over a bag of weed
or just talking bout how life can be
fun one minute than trife the next
you either hustling or busting your ass off for that check
but when that check stop coming and that water stop running
what a man like you gone do
as long as these beats stay pumping and we teach these people something we'll always have dreams to pursue
i said when that check stop coming and that water stop running
what a man like you gone do
as long as these beats stay pumping and we teach these people something we'll always have dreams to pursue
