[Trae]
Well it be too many fake people
Claiming that they, be down with us
But it's too many people, that we can't see
Everywhere that I go, somebody wanna hate me
But I really don't think, that they're gonna be
Ready to take, a walk in my shoes
That's why I be insiders on, plus we never did nothing to nobody
And if they knew what we knew, then they'd leave us alone
Cause too much stressing, it make a n***a crazy
Now I be paranoid, and watching my lady
Praying that I see, my older brother again
Not knowing, it would never be the same again
So I'm still hoping for the day, I know it's gon change
And if I die, I know the pain be remaining in me
To everybody, that I live to live
Leave me the f** alone, and let me be
[Cl'Che]
Too many hoes wanna hate, and talk bad about a b**h
But mama told me, to never give a f**
If that's what you go, be and be the coldest b**h
That everybody, wanna roll with
Could never keep a real a** n***a, down on my side
Cause I didn't have time, had a lot of sh** up on my mind
Had the write, to sh** up in my rhymes
To keep me sane all the time
Had a block on my brain, thinking how could sh**
Ever change, trying to win the same ol' game
But then I came to see, through the days of my pain
And struggling, that it wasn't as bad as this thang
Guerilla Maab are my brothers, steady spiritual chain
I'd rather live my life, the way it's suppose to be
Then faking the fame, and trying to be somebody else
Of royalty, because it ain't my name
[Hook: Peaches & Z-Ro (Z-Ro)]
Too many problems on my mind
(on my miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind)
Living shife, is starting to be a full time grind
I'm just trying, to live, my life
But something bout piece, is something I'll never find
(may never find)
Too many problems on my mind
(on my miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind)
Living shife, is starting to be a full time grind
I'm not trying, to lose, my life
But if I do, I wanna meet Jesus Christ (way too late)
[Trae]
Thinking about, what a n***a done been through
Reminiscing, on a part of the past
Everybody thought I wouldn't last
From living the things, I was dealing with
Too many people, tried to reach a n***a with bullsh**
And it's like, I ain't even tripping
I can't let things like that, get up under my skin
I can't win, if a n***a steady be living in sin
I gotta keep a right mind, if I wanna make dividends
Sneak into the negative side, of my life
Even n***as that I had love fo', turned fake
One of my real n***as, just got shot nine times
From a n***a, that everybody really thought was down
And who the f** can I trust, when I grab a Glock to bust
The situation that I be facing, make a n***a think
Shedding tears over my older brother, gonna wait
For the rest of his life, because of these n***as living shife
For real, now tell me where the love at
Why all of my n***as, wanna be acting like that
Is it because of the fact I'm one of the Maab, and never gon fall
And all the diamonds shine, when it's time to ball
Will they comfort me if I waited, it was gonna get greater later
I really hope so, cause I believe in God
And with the life that I live, I wanna smile again
And if I die tonight, I still wanna see the light

[Dougie D]
I've been contemplating, I've been steady waiting
Sippin' liquor, up off in my mode
Thinking bout the days of the past, when everybody
Use to treat a young n***a, like Dougie so cold
But never once before, I done heard a lot of thangs
Seen a lot of thangs, wonder why motherf**ers be acting so strange
Feeling the pain inside, ready to ride
But yet I still know I gotta maintain
I remember when some b**hes, use to tell me
Dougie you motherf**er, your a** ain't never gon be sh**
But now they turning on the T.V., watching me on BET
Jamming my c.d., getting crunk in this b**h
Ain't no doubt about it, in my mind that
The Hating make a n***a, stronger inside
But I been making the climb, but Lord knows that my body is tired
I need a little compa**ion, a little mo' breath in this rhyme
And I really just don't understand, why n***a wanna be doing
The evil deed, and they wanna hate on us
Cause they can't fade all us, but if you know like a n***a know
You n***as would keep your distance, cause we can't be touched
I've been living in the city for a short while, with the wrong crowd
Wish I would of known then, what I know now
Now a n***a tripping after the cream, and follow my dreams
I'm trying to stay away, from the triple beam
I gotta get up on a mission, it seems
Because I'm sick and tired, of dealing with the struggle and pain
The predicaments are facing me, having stress on my brain
Don't wanna go up insane, pray to God that my soul
I'm going deranged, and anybody wanna think to testing
A n***a sk**s, they better have a good will
Cause I be living my life, chunking they two cents in
While they be living in sin, trying to tell me how to live
When they ain't even living right
