[Verse 1: A Boogie] n***as go from playin' ball to slangin' raw and pa**in' rocks It's hard to come up when you ain't have a lot 95. nickels and dimes we couldn't brag a lot Half the time homicide tape covered half the block We was never scared though, posted like a scarecrow My pockets should've said rest in peace, I was dead broke We was hungry just trying to eat but they said no Steady pacin' life is a race & nobody said go but f** it I ain't giving up, I'm loyal I ain't switching up, rather die like a f**in' man 'fore I live and duck They ain't ever there when a n***a stuck Just remember who cared when they ain't give a f** I'm never lackin, even though I know sh** could happen Imma flip the napkin, moving forward ain't going backwards But I get distracted, by these b**hes don't know what happened they get inside of my head and I go missing in action But .. [Chorus: A Boogie] You don't understand my n***a (2x) You don't understand I wanna be the man my n***a (2x) I just wanna be the man You don't understand (2x) I try to tell them my n***a but they don't understand You don't understand my n***a (2x) [Verse 2] You ever wake up hungry but you go to sleep full and uh Make your money sell your soul to evil And a lot of n***as do it cause they wanna be cool They just wanna get money I'm like n***a me too and I don't got beef with nobody nah I ain't in to that But I ain't playing games no monopoly where my chicken at I will let the Smith and Wesson put the men in black And show up to the funeral stuntin' like where the b**hes at I thought I told you that we won't stop (2x) I thought I told you that I thought I told you that we won't stop And n***as frontin' like we won't pop (Na Na) And I ain't gon' feel comfortable enough til' I can say I got a couple hunnit bands, got a couple hunnit bands And n***as they don't f** with you enough and say you up My n***a you don't understand [Chorus] [Verse 3] Tried to give her my heart but she wanted a bag I always had to borrow sh** that I wanted to have Back when I was spittin' that bullsh** now I know it was trash They said I was going hard when they really wanted to laugh Telling me they never hatin' when i know they probably wait to see me stumble King of the jungle, I know they lying, faking Telling me to be patient but n***a I ain't waiting Trying to stop me they wanna pop me but n***a I ain't baking I'm just saying they wanna cut me but they can't cut no deeper Life is a b**h I wouldn't trust it neither Thought that i was in the right lane for the money train but they just threw me on the track like a f**ing feature And I'm an ape that's why I f** with Caesar Ric Flair I'm my brother's keeper Trippy Rell, Benny D, YFM I'm that n***a with the hoodie, f** the reaper [Chorus]
