[Verse 1:]
Yeah
Bills due on the kitchen table
Mama walked past em cause she ain't able
Watching mama's family sister tryna watch cartoons muthaf**a came through and clipped the cable
Get a job that's the usual
Mama had a job that ain't do enough
Mama hired me I'm sacking groceries up
90 days later I was posting up
Quarter pound of weed 250 strong
Staying out late bringing profit home
It's me and Big G tryna stack it up
sh** ain't been the same since my n***a gone
I looked up to n***as like Hookshot
n***as like Lil Pat and Woo Woo
I was on the block as a young boy
Watching them hustle it was like school
[Chorus:]
I hustled with the greats, ate with the vultures and the snakes
My days turned to nights my nights turned to days
Streets got me paid
And I know Ima pay the price for it
I know it
One day Ima pay the price for it
I know it
I know it
I know it
[Verse 2:]
First time I seen 10 bands
First time I seen 100 grand
First time I seen 1 mill
I knew sh** was about to get real
Homeboys start acting different
sh** changed I ain't even tripping
Same n***a used to ride for em one time I was on the front line for em
I was a hitta for a dopeboy
Play crazy yeah you know boy
Im in the hood with the doors up
n***a I ain't never froze up
Bad b**hes chose up
They like me or the lifestyle
n***a I don't really give a f**
But Ima burn the head in a meanwhile
[Chorus:]
I hustled with the greats, ate with the vultures and the snakes
My days turned to nights my nights turned to days
Streets got me paid
And I know Ima pay the price for it
I know it
One day Ima pay the price for it
I know it
I know it
I know it
[Verse 3:]
sh** different you ain't even notice it
All the hustlers I ain't even quote it
New Wraith I ain't even rode it
Nick got a strap he ain't even load it
sh** real growing up in the projects
Tryna stay real in the process
Seen a pump knock out a n***a intestines
Young boy standing there tryna digest it
Where all the real n***as at that's my question
Never got indicted that's my blessing
When I put it on the Gram that's the motivate you
Inspiration n***a that's not flexing
New Lambs, new Raris
Little homie fighting charges
Make bond get em lawyers
Green dot so they can call you
[Chorus:]
I hustled with the greats, ate with the vultures and the snakes
My days turned to nights my nights turned to days
Streets got me paid
And I know Ima pay the price for it
I know it
One day Ima pay the price for it
I know it
I know it
I know it
