Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight, I'm gone Goodnight Shirley, so leave the lights back on when I come home I went to sleep late, but I woke up early Kissed the game goodbye, baby goodnight Shirley Proud problems and swallowed it, even dealt with a lot of lip Had to put up with politics, never even acknowledged it I just kept on grinding and knew that the people's with me Even dealt with some hate inside of my own city But I rised above it, didn't think nothing of it I made music for the people and everybody loved it Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight [x4] I went to sleep late, but I woke up early Kissed the game goodbye, baby goodnight Shirley Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight [x2] I'm sick, lord I'm trying to change To tell the truth, I finally said goodbye to the game Eyes bloodshot red, I'm high as a parasail Yeah, my fat a** made a living off a f**ing set of scales And I remember back when we was at it, we was broke We ain't had nothing going so we had to sell dope When we used to hit the studio they thought we was a joke Nobody could have predicted that this sh** would finally blow Man we came from the bottom I mean close to the trap And by the bottom I mean down there with the roaches and rats Now that I got a little money, I don't know how to act My city love me back when I ain't even know how to rap Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight [x4] I went to sleep late, but I woke up early Kissed the game goodbye, baby goodnight Shirley Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight [x2]
