[Verse 1:]
Smokin' all this dope and sh**, poppin' xans just to cope with sh**
Know where my devotion is, lil while I had to go through this
I'm startin' to think I'm cursed out here
The sh** could get worse out here but I'm hurt out here
You gotta shoot first out here, seen my n***a in a hearse this year
Man, this sh** ain't fair
Live life, long a**ets, from that can I get a break?
I'm tryna expunge, my past ligation got an eye for a drive like yesterday
Fought your life off, off one mistake
Now they got you upstate servin' 8
But you gotta stay strong, my n***a, hold your all, my n***a
Until your home, don't lose faith
Now lil bro's stuck, with nobody else to look up to
So he turned to the streets
With no concern for beliefs, he might be holding that heat
And if a n***a want beef, he drum it like he totin' two
Cold time, now he call it through, a couple years past you
Went fast didn't know that it's him that he's talkin' to
He grown up now, all these n***as know wa**up now
They tell you that they gettin' bucks now
He asks you sum' now, you tell I'm that they bout to let you come home
So he don't really give a f** now, it's just your luck now
Ball home a couple weeks later, you bout to get yo dress out
Mom' on the phone, crying saying lil bro got stretched out

Everybody wants to be somebody
Say you got it, but I ain't buy it
Everybody wants to be somebody
Say you got it, but I ain't buy it
[Verse 2:]
She said it was for her tuition
So every night she stripping, next semester she skipping
She more concerned with her business
Her friends tell her she tripping, but she don't seek no advice
May be wrong, but she know she right, but still baby girl was so polite. I never thought she was the ho type
Then some n***a came in her life, now some sh** start changing
She started cam [?] pipes
That's why she kept it straight faded
Say she wanna live the life, every night she wasted
When you get her off the white, she gon' do what you say then
And ask where you got her
She gon' f** once she get off that powder
Run a train, let all the homies ride her
If you go f** girl, make it by the gallop
Put an only check in bout 22 hours
Baby girl got her money up
All these b**hes tryna f** with her, all these n***as tryna f** on her
Everything goin' right, didn't think she could f** this up
She was on the track one night, a n***a pull up in a white van
He said ‘miss, do you have the time?' She said ‘yes, it's about ten'
Somebody sent the goons back and they put her in
Surprised by her man and a couple friends
Supposedly she wasn't makin' pair with him
He made sure she gon' never see that bread again
Damn!
