(E minor) T -Town, who wanna ride?
Brooklyn, come on, (C major) come (G major) on
Sitting in (E minor) the living room on the floor,
hunger pain got me on some (G major) migraine, but I'm a maintainer
Got (E minor) two or three dollars to my name and my homies in
(C major) the same boat going through the (G major) same thing
Ready for (E minor) a caper, daily plotting for the paper,
we been (G major) living in the dark since
April
On the candle, (B minor) gotta (B major) get a handle
My homie got a .25 (C major) automatic,
add it (G major) to the
gamble
Get (E minor) the phone book,
look up in the yellow page
Let me (G major) tell you how we finna get paid
We gon' order (B minor) pink out
(B major) when they see the (B minor) driver
We gon' stick the (C major) .25 up in his (G major) face
Let's ride, steppin' (E minor) outside like warriors
Into the notori (G major) ous
Southside
One weapon to the (B major) four of us
Hidin' in the corridor till we see the
(C major) deed from the car
Head (G major) lights,
white boy in (E minor) the wrong place at the right time
Soon as the (G major) car door open, I'll be mine
We roll up quick (B minor) and put the pistol to his
nose
By the look on his face,
(C major) he probably shittin'
his (G major) clothes
You know what this (E minor) is, it's a stick up
Give me the dough from your (G major) pick -ups,
you ran into the wrong
You running (B minor) down the block hot
with these (B major) stacks of boxes
So we (C major) split up and met
back (G major) at the apartment
Hell (E minor) yeah
Yo, ain't you (G major) hungry, mutt?
Hell (B minor) yeah
(B major) You wan (B minor) na get (C major) paid, mutt? (G major)
Hell (E minor) yeah
Ain't you tired of (G major) starving, mutt?
Hell (B minor) yeah
Well, let's ride (B major) in
Hell (C major) yeah
(G major) Hell yeah
(E minor) I know a way we can get paid
You can get (B major) down,
but you (G major) can't be afraid
Let's go to the
(B minor) DMV and get a
ID
(B major) The (C major) name says you, but the (G major) face is me
Now it's (E minor) your turn, take my paperwork
Like (G major) one, two, three, let's make it work
Then, (B minor) fill out the credit card (B major) application
(B minor) And it's (C major) gon' be about three
week (G major) s of waitin'
For
Amer (E minor) ican
Express,
Discovery
Car
Plat (G major) inum
Visa,
MasterCard
Cause (B major) when we was booted,
then we was targets
Now (C major) we just walk right (G major) up and say,
charge it
(E minor) To the game, we rockin' brand names
Well (G major) known at department store chains
Even (B minor) got the (B major) boys in the crew
for a few things
Popo (C major) never know who's (G major) the true blame
Store (E minor) after store,
you know we kept rollin'
(G major) Wait two weeks, report the car stolen
Re (B minor) peat the (B major) cycle like a laundromat
Like a (C major) glitch in the system,
(G major) it's hard to catch
Coming (E minor) out the mall with
the shopping bags
We can (G major) take it right back,
then get the cash, yeah
(B minor) Get a (B major) friend, then do it again
Damn (C major) right, that's how we (G major) pay the rent
Yeah, (E minor) got to get this paper (G major) I'm
(B minor) down for the cake, but
We (C major) stay on (G major) the (E minor) ground
It's a damn big (G major) struggle
We (B minor) all gotta hustle
This (C major) is the (G major) way we survive
(E minor) (G major) (B minor) (C major) (G major)
(E minor) (G major) (B minor) (C major) I know a (G major)
(E minor)
K -12, we can get some government paper (G major) ,

we say (G major) reparations and (E minor) uh, you know
the grind, get up early, get on the line (G major) and just wait,
everybody on break, that's (B major) part
And when they call your name,
Miss
(C major) Case
Worker, let me (G major) state my claim
I'm home (E minor) less, jobless,
times is hard, I'm bout (G major) hopeless
But I gotta eat regardless,
no family to (B major) run to, I'm 22
Now (C major) tell me what the f***
am I sup (G major) posed to do?
My (E minor) sad story made her feel close to me,
I made her (G major) feel like it was an emergency
And when I (E minor) came to the crib, couldn't believe,
I came (C major) back with a big bag (G major) of grocery
Every (E minor) job I ever had, I had to get em'
The (G major) first day,
I find how to pimp the system
Two (B minor) steps ahead (B major) of the manager,
getting over on (C major) the regular
Tax free (G major) money out the register
(E minor) And when I'm working late nights,
locking boxes
(G major) I'm creepin' they merchandise and
don't (B minor) put me on dishes
I'm droppin' the p***s (C major) and takin'
all day long (G major) to mop the kitchen
We (E minor) ain't gettin' paid commission,
minimum wage, (G major) modern day slave conditions
Got me flippin' (B minor) burgers with no power and can't
even buy (C major) one off what I make in (G major) an hour
I'm not the (E minor) one to kiss
s*** for the top position
I take (G major) mine off the top like a politician
Where I'm (B minor) from,
doin' (B major) dirt is a part of livin'
I got (C major) miles to feed, dawg, (G major) I got to get it
Yeah, (E minor) yeah, yeah, yeah,
You down to (G major) roll my d***?
Yeah, (B minor) yeah, yeah,
(B major) You better get your hand (C major) s dirty,
my d***
(G major) Yeah, yeah, (E minor) yeah, yeah
Your momma need (G major) money and thangs,

Yeah, yeah, (B minor)
Well, that's (B major) where I did
Yeah, (C major) yeah, yeah,
(G major) Come on, come on
(E minor) If you claimin' (G major) gangsta
Then (B minor) bang (B major) on the system
(E minor) And (C major) show that you (G major) ready to (E minor) ride
Take it off
(G major) Freedom, we (B minor) got to get (B major) over
We (C major) steady on (G major) the (E minor) grind (E minor)
