Freddie Gibbs - National Anthem lyrics

Back when I was younger Very ambitious but often blinded by my hunger Some say I dream too big And my dream gon' take me under Beneath the streets of Gary Would I make it out, I wonder Could my obituary be the next they read amongst the n***as I came up with and fell victim to this dope game Poverty stricken so our economy is c**aine Ecstacy, h**n, marijuana ain't no hope man Absentee fathers and dope fiend mamas Got my hood turned out to the point that a n***a wanna go and get paid f** sittin' on the bench I'mma go on To the next lick til I'm goin' in my grave Then I figured after that I could make a livin' Off makin' words rhyme it was all in my mind Everybody in the G went to Finger Roll studio Nobody had a flow quite like mine But along with the fame came a whole lot of Hate from the hood, everyday I would fight Mama can't sleep cause I'm way to deep in the streets She would pray through the night Every rhyme that I spit's real sh** Cause its just another day in my life n***as better keep a vest test to my testicles They be vegetables, they gonna respect the flow 'til I'm gone One for the money Two for the motherf**in' haters keep my name in the game (I'm screamin' f** the world) I keep three bad b**hes for all my n***as Wave your fingers if you're feeling the same (I'm screamin' f** the world) One for the money Two for the motherf**in' haters keep my name in the game (I'm screamin' f** the world) I keep three bad b**hes for all my n***as Wave your fingers if you're feeling the same (I'm screamin' f** the world) Player haters f**'em Record label f**'em Radio f**'em All my sh** still be bumpin' Never change my style up for any of them I'm strictly thuggin' Lotta n***as made a name off banging And hustling but really wasn't I built my name with no features Or some expensive budget Go for mine cause a co-sign can't coincide with the sh** I'm bustin You see more fear and your pockets start to see a reduction See how true your crew is, never new they was frontin' And I bet a n***a told you, that whatever You go through, we got your back 'til the end When I came upon a deal, n***as that I never knew I could blew, wanna come be my friends Then the boy got dropped and the friendship stopped In a flash I was back on my own Put a strap on my lap and the stash in the back Cause the fact I was wrappin them stones Got back to the rap cause its all that I got in the mid west streets be my voice I dont think another dude could do what I do So it seem like I ain't got no choice Then the hoes gon' choose the dudes that come through Get them groovin and get that sh** moist n***as knowin, I be runnin them hoes, and never lovin them hoes You be up under them hoes, I hit up buncha them hoes and im gone One for the money Two for the motherf**in' haters keep my name in the game (I'm screamin' f** the world) I keep three bad b**hes for all my n***as Wave your fingers if you're feeling the same (I'm screamin' f** the world) One for the money Two for the motherf**in' haters keep my name in the game (I'm screamin' f** the world) I keep three bad b**hes for all my n***as Wave your fingers if you're feeling the same (I'm screamin' f** the world) I'm GI thuggin', I'm Chi town thuggin' I'm Detroit thuggin', one time f**'em I'm NY thuggin', I'm Illadelph thuggin' I'm DC thuggin', one time f**in' I'm Englewood thuggin', I'm South Central thuggin' I'm O-town thuggin', one time f**'em I'm ATL thuggin', I'm Memphis Tenn' thuggin' I'm H-town thuggin', one time f**'em One for the money Two for the motherf**in' haters keep my name in the game (I'm screamin' f** the world) I keep three bad b**hes for all my n***as Wave your fingers if you're feeling the same (I'm screamin' f** the world) One for the money Two for the motherf**in' haters keep my name in the game (I'm screamin' f** the world) I keep three bad b**hes for all my n***as Wave your fingers if you're feeling the same (I'm screamin' f** the world)
