It's like this I'm 17 and I feel I need to get my a** on out Of my grandmama's house Feelin like I don't need to obey no rules And I choose to make money and f** hoes over school So I cruise up and down the block With a gang of n***as and a pocket full of motherf**in rocks And a whole lotta game for the fiends Cause this black-a** n***a on a mission ain't takin shorts by no means And I seen everything from hoes I used to know sellin a** To motherf**ers dead from the blast movin fast Gettin caught up in the drama Now I'm able to do things for my little mama And she appreciated every little bit of it Spendin all her time lookin out for me and sh** Lettin me know when the situation's gettin shady And I'm startin to feel love for this young lady Cause she was downer than a motherf**er In love wit a n***a like me, but yo she kept it on the undercover She used to say our business ain't show business And them other b**hes business ain't yo business So I had to keep her close at hand While I was comin up, cause she was down with her man Understand she grew up with next to nothin And was sick of seein her sh** gettin stole every month then Cause her mama smokin up the whole house Now she gotta get her sh** together cause she gots to roll on out And the only motherf**er showin love is her nig' That's why she did the sh** she did Hit the mall, steal me and her some clothes Hit a lick and break a n***a off some vogues For my motherf**in car She looked out for me, so I looked out for her Like that? Yeah, it was like that Didn't sweat a b**h cause when I left she'd know I be right back We might fight, black, but it never last long If you try to come between us, n***a, get yo a** on Like them n***as that I hang with Let me know they ain't down, they tryina get at my thang and sh** Had to know what has happenin Wasn't like the average n***a gettin caught up in that high cappin What you got don't mean sh** And I was quick to get in the mix behind my b**h Far from a trick, and never did she ask for sh** Everything she got, she deserved it Young love in the ghetto, hello Knew I had a down hoe, didn't wanna let go Straight based on trust And while other motherf**ers got crushed they couldn't f** with us To f** with while we were rollin was unwise, G Cause we were fully strapped, jammin them Isleys (Drifting on a memory) Too deep (Ain't no place I'd rather be) Rollin with somethin sweet So unique You know where I wanna be? Yeah Know where I gotta be? Yeah You know where I'm at?
