Lord, forgive me 'cause the way I'm living
They say what goes around comes around
I'm gonna get what's coming to me
Guess I'll be strapped up till they lay me down
And I done did too much to say
I never go to church and barely pray
Lately I've been going through some things
Hell, what the f** I'm supposed to say?
'Cause I just had two baby boys
I'm always calling their mama's out their name
When I get caught in my emotions
Lord, I swear I'm tryna make a change
Ain't wrote my brother Tune in the month
But I'm always texting with these hoes
Feel bad whenever he call my phone
He had a court and I ain't even show
And my little brother looking up to me
Lord, I swear I ain't no role model
My uncle a f**ing alcoholic
Can't even eat unless he got a bottle
I been stressing about that money lately
It got me 'bout to rob a f**ing bank
And my mama f** with b**hes now
I could judge her, but I really can't
'Cause the way I'm living ain't no better
I said the way I'm living ain't no better
I just got in beef with what's his name
So now I'm riding strapped with my Beretta
Laying in my bed, can't get sleep
Eyes wide open and I'm staring at the ceiling
99 problems but I really got a million
You don't know my struggle so don't tell me that you feel it
Spit it from the heart, I know they gonna feel it
I was born real so cowards gonna feel me
Watching my back 'cause I know they wanna k** me
Don't go nowhere without my semi
Daddy was a k**er so the bloodline in me
Heart of a lion even though a n***a skinny
Come to my hood and you gonna see plenty
Matchbox chevy with the hubcap missin'
n***as on dope walk around all timid
Dope dealer pa** through the hood in a Bentley
Never gave back to the hood where I'm from
So the n***as from the block where I'm from gonna get it
n***as get money and they act like b**hes
n***as get money and they act like b**hes
Till they head get bust and they a** need stitches
Blinded by the greed so you better pay attention
Money don't make you real, my n***a
Better run a valuable motherf**ing dollar
'Fore them hungry n***as break you of something proper
City of the Angels where they ride with them choppers
Eat, sh**, sleep and even die with the chopper
I ain't got nowhere to go, my n***a
Got beat down to the floor, my n***a
Hurt so bad and it show, my n***a
They kept saying that I wouldn't be sh**
'Cause I grew up so poor, my n***a
Well I'mma tell y'all like my n***a tell me
While I see it well enough they never grow, my n***a
Laying in my bed, can't get sleep
Eyes wide open and I'm staring at the ceiling
Never go to church and my momma's feeling hurt
Praying at night 'cause she know that I'm sinning
Best coming so you know I gotta get it
Money coming fast so you know that's how I'm spending
I ain't got credit so the whips on me when I drop out work another day you rented
Unmarked car keep riding through the hood, with the Feds in the town and they might be in it
n***as on tha westside just got bopped with a couple of 'em blocks so they might be snitching
Calling my phone, wanna talk about business
Ain't it f**ed up because I smell something fishy
Everyone's f**ed, tryna handle my business
Trigger finger itching and my eyeballs twitchin
All this work in the goddamn kitchen
Everytime I cook, a n***a get nauseous
Peepin out my blinds because the chopper feelin cautious
Runnin from the law, got a n***a so exhausted
That's all I know my n***a, ya'll hardhead and it shows my n***a
Money be the root of all evil, gotta watch your people sometimes you don't know them n***as
But that's how it goes my n***a, got beat down to the floor my n***a
Hurt so bad and it show, my n***a
They kept saying that I wouldn't be sh**
'Cause I grew up so poor, my n***a
Well I'mma tell y'all like my n***a tell me
While I see it well enough they never grow, my n***a
