[Verse 1: YG]
I woke up this morning, I had a bo*er
I went to sleep last night with no b**h, n***a, I was a loner
I be going through sh**, losin' b**hes and homies
If I don't make it with this rap sh**, n***a, I might be homeless
My moms don't got a job, my pop's checks ain't enough
If ain't bringin' home that money, my whole family is f**ed
That's why I move like the Mob, I'm watchin' movies too much
If n***as wanted you dead, what would you suggest?
They wonder why I do d** and hang with thugs
Since I made it, the city hated, wait, where is the love?
I ride around with my gun, this is not for fun
I stay protected cause my homie just took one to the lung
Had him on life support, with his family support
He knew who shot him, but he ain't even show up in court
Yeah, that's a real G, n***a, he on a k** spree, n***a
The homie popped him so I hope he don't k** me, n***a!

That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'
That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'
That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'
I be going through some things, you don't know what I be thinkin'
[Verse 2: YG]
Now I'm ridin' through traffic, with 2Pac blastin'
With a b**h that's irritatin' from all these questions she askin'
Like what b**hes I f**ed, when, how and where?
You ain't my main b**h so why the f** do you care?
That's why b**hes get f**ed, then turn around and get left
Somebody need to teach them "less talk, more s**"
I'm pressed when I'm stressed, my granny tell me I'm blessed
Well, why the f** do Jesus Christ got me goin' through this sh**?
Everybody need favors, what happen if I go broke?
Or say I ain't got it and buy my lolo some spokes
Right up in your face, said I'll f** you up like some mace
So f** your handout, give a young n***a some space
Give a n***a some Ace, give me a blunt that's laced
Sprinkle some molly in it, watch me take this sh** to my face
The snitch is the shooter, they took time away from his case
Holy sh**, oh Lord, where is the world today?!

That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'
That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'
That's why I really be smokin' and I really be drinkin'
I be going through some things, you don't know what I be thinkin'
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
I swear this industry sh**, to me is one big a** lick
I walk inside of a buildin', tell the A&R n***a strip
Tell 'em I need all of my chips, my life been on Section 8
I've been a welfare case, AFDC pump fake
Meanwhile I'm grindin' cause drug money ain't like rap money
Four white kilo snow bunny, equal one whole show, dummy
I'm on this tour bus and I'm f**ed up, I got a bad call
They k**ed Braze, they k**ed Chad, my big homie Pup
Puppy eyes in my face, bruh, and I've really been drinkin'
Muthaf**a, I really been smokin', what the f**? I'm the sober one
Man, I'm so stressed out, I can't focus
Hide out when I ride out, ski mask with the eyes out
Speed past in the Cutla**, me and little Ocho
Every young n***a hop out, 2 tears in a bucket
I feel like "f** it", the price of fame, recognize my pain, that's all I know
All out war, but I'm out here though, call my troops like "vamonos"
I'm on this tour bus and I'm f**ed up, I got a bad call, and it's all bad
Off OG with my OG and some OE, by the tall gla**
