G#m
I'm tired of livin' fucked up,
Tired of livin' bad,
Tired of hearin' grand mama tellin' me,
F#
"When you gon' go to church, Chad?"
G#m
F#
I'm tryin' to live up to the image
that she would want to see,
But I got much foot in the street,
and every week I flip a ki.
G#m
I never wanted to be a G,
but niggas depend on me
It ain't safe to hit I-10,
F#
so niggas fear with me
G#m
F#
And all the niggas that I
went to school with,
Shot pool with, went to the pool with
G#m
Out there sellin' that white shit
Pushin' cocaine,
niggas whole existence
Dependent on the game
F#
What ya want me to do, it's like
somebody cut my throat
B
F#
Got 20,000 dollars tryin'
to turn it into a hundred,
G#m
And ain't nobody got no dough
So, niggas tend to smoke,
bad habits do exist

And this bitch thinkin' she can ease
G#m
F#
my mind by suckin' my dick
Bitch maybe fo' a minute,
B
F#
G#m
but that shit never lasts
F#
It's 1996, niggas is dyin'

F#
And you be wonderin' why young
G#m
F#
niggas out there smokin' fry
I wish that I could tell y'all I
B
F#

But, if I told you that, nigga,
G#m
you know that I be lyin'
And I been fuckin' pussy since
the tender age of nine.
It's gettin' to be a full-time job
F#
job just tryin' to stay alive
And crackers tend to smirk,
B
F#
offended by the weed smoke comin' off my shirt
G#m
But, still I put in work and
front for my folks
'Cause where I come from, nigga,
F#
family just ain't no joke
G#m
F#
Now, D be gettin' married,
and Edgar on the boat
B
F#
But what about baby Doe
Some say that nigga's sellin' dope
G#m
And you know I ain't lyin',
that's just how families talk
But, what you gon' do when the
devil poke you wit' his fork?
F#
And everybody sittin' in
the pulpit ain't saved
G#m
Most preachers just false prophets,
fuckin' hoes and gittin' paid

Verse 4
G#m
You only got one life to live
C#m
F#
G#m
That's all they give us to do it
You can bullshit your way through it,
Or stay true, it
F#
Can be complicated 'cause niggas
G#m
F#
be gettin' shot in the cross
People and names get lost,
the people in the lane get tossed
G#m
Streets 'll eat yo ass alive
Take your positions with pistols,
bare hands, and knives,
F#
G#m
And nobody's surprised if some
F#
body don't survive the dust
To see this only treacherous
How we was left to be down these
G#m
streets that we be on
Muthafucka's sleepin' on them
D#m
G#m
corners that you pee on
F#
Probably 'cause society felt
B
F#
they didn't belong
Now who in the fuck made
G#m
F#
it this way for us?
Got all these little niggas
sellin' that yay
G#m
Because it ain't like they make
high levels gain-able
And And that quote "peace of American
pie" just ain't attainable
F#
So, how can I sustain a full
G#m
F#
life before death
Man, I'm left out here to make
it by my goddamn self
G#m
Now come on, who gives a damn
C#m
G#m
When you can't afford
the turkey or ham?
F#
Livin' off of Ramen noodles,
G#m
F#
beef jerky, and Spam
G#m
F#
Now that's sad, but that's a fact of life
All I can see in front of me is up for grabs
G#m
Come off your slab
'Cause poverty will push
D#m
G#m
a nigga over the brink,
Over the edge,
F#
B
es pecially if you don't know your ledge
F#
And, so instead of being without
B
F#
I'm hustlin' tryin' to git
through these ungodly days
Thinkin' of ways to get
G#m
the fuck out of this maze
A man will commit a crime
'cause the fuckin' crime pays
G#m
I'm goin' through a phase
F#
you don't grow out
G#m
Until you a reason a motherfucker
gots to pour out
His 40 on the curb,
F#
G#m
disturbed and left with no doubt in his mind,
But still sometimes he don't know why
F#
He walkin' around just hopin'
G#m
F#
He get one more try to make it
It's bullshit he's goin' through
but yo he gots to take it,
G#m
You can't fake it, to get the hi life
