[Verse 1:]
Tryna get high to forget that I'm broke
Tho it's high tide still gotta stay afloat
Sweater over hoodie used to be my winter coat
Dish detergent liquid when we ran out of soap
Walk in to the store plastic bag filled with bottles
Stolen basic cable on our ol' floor model
Check in the fridge, nothing to eat
Baby mama k**ing roaches with her bare feet
My n***a hit me off I f**ed up the sack
Trip to Coney Island f**ing with a hood rat
Now a n***a back, right where I started
Real true livin' definition of an artist
So now a n***a old but ain't sh** changed
Hid this morning when the light people came
Now point me to heaven cause this sure is hell
Tell me what's the difference from being in a cell
[Hook: x2]
Mama in the kitchen, scrapin' up a dinner
Daddy play the lottery, hope he got a winner
My brother on the block, tryna catch sales
Sister on the pole, shake her fruit co*ktail
[Verse 2:]
I got locked up, I came back home
Takin' county chances, just to keep my phone on
My baby mama trippin', that b**h don't even work
Stress a n***a out, got me payin' child support
I'm flirtin' with the Beam, I got a date with d**h
38 revolver, got two bullets left
Sometimes I daydream, about puttin' in myself
Runnin' up to heaven, trippin' up the steps
My n***a want a square, only got one left
So I'm a bust it down with you
If I had it dog, I'd blow a pound with you
My n***a understand, that's just how sh** goes
That's why we get high, cause we feel so low
And tho we livin' fast, the money comin' slow
Got a lid up on my n***a, cause his time goin slow
Said a pray for him quick, fans gotta let him know
[Hook x2]
