[Intro] E-40 in this muthaf**a! (E-40!) Coming back with that 1990s mob, n***a! (Bring that sh** back, bruh!) You understand that! Uh huh! (Bring that sh** back, man!) Look! Give it to them straight with that mob sh**, man! You feel?! [Verse 1] Wrong side of the bed, that's how I woke up Throwed in the head, I'm f**ed up In the mind, I wished my daddy would have never bust a nut Sometimes I wonder why I'm here Never freeze up Never stop in the streets like a deer Wildlife smell fear Get you out of here quicker than a spaceship Get rid of sh**, sending it, living it, getting it On the grind! Trippin' sometimes 50 cal., f** a 9 Take your kindness for weakness Up and down the highway, I stay with a grudge My family don't even hug Born with a mug My partner grind, he sell bud "Only time I go to clubs is when I shoot up clubs," What the little homie from the hood said Rode the back of the bus cause they was forced Hung and dragged by a horse When I say hung, not the jury and of course, of course [Hook] That's why I'm throwed like this! (Man, I can't help it, bruh! I was dropped on the head when I was a baby, man!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (I gotta protect mine! So when I was 9, my uncle and them handed me a 9!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (All I hear is sirens and helicopters! Gotta tuck the kids in the bathtub! Bullets ain't got no names!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (It's either k** or be k**ed out here in the 'ville! These fools will k** you, then go to a club!) [Verse 2] Banana clip, 30..., extra clip n***a sick Two baby's momma's on welfare, Section 8, and WIC Going through it, having hardship, starving Use a broom, not a vaccum for the carpet Couldn't try no benefit card, EBT, in the inner-city You see more children in juvie than elementary Look forward to the penetentary Ready, be in there with my uncle and my daddy Living life savvy, selling candy like a cavity Catastrophe, tragedy Please Momma, don't be mad at me "I love you no matter what happens to me" That's what I told my momma, reading the Bible On the way to a revival Creator or idol, good God Almighty I hope I don't catch a body It's sh**ty like potty It ain't karate But they'll kick you when you're down
That's why I keep a frown, keep a hundred-round Plow a s**a down if I must Put some cheese on a head, no crust Split a n***a wig, no brush None of you n***as I trust Most of you n***as wear blush p**y-a** n***as, no nuts Poodle-a** n***as, muts Telling on n***as on the hush (Beeeyatch!) [Hook] (Everywhere I go, every time I bend a corner, them people pull me over and hem me up!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (Being from the ghetto, it was nights I didn't know where I was gonna lay my head! I had to sleep in the car!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (Smoking and drinking 24 hours around the clock! It ain't no love out there for a young black man!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (When little n***as get stressed out, they liable to play Russian roulette to see if it's they time to go!) [Verse 3] I need some weed, some drink to help me think To take my mind off the pain My Benjamin's baldheaded, they need some Rogaine Going through it, a brotha trying to have some change Know faces cause I don't remember names Life can be good, but it can be a b**h A lot of homeless people used to be rich Used to have hella chips, paid 'Til the po-po and the batter-ram raid White-collar crime the same thing too They in the feds, I know a few Fools in the federal, fools in the SHU Locked in the bing, locked in the stew Incarcerated like you, live it That's why I always try and go visit In the visiting room, picture it COs talking to us like we illiterate "I admit I'm not a graduate," that's what he say But his grandmama taught him how to pray Voted for Obama all day Raised in the South; lived in L.A Stubborn, born in the month of May Everything gotta go her way "Hella bling," that's what she say She know I'm out here pushing yay [Hook] (Ain't no physical activity for the kids no more! Just video games!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (Every time I take a step forward, I end up taking three steps back, man!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (I don't know who to trust! sh**, I can barely trust myself!) That's why I'm throwed like this! (My momma made me think I was crazy just so I can get a SSI check!) That's why I'm throwed like this!
