PUSH! - Income lyrics

[Intro] I'mma tell you a story about pain and glory And if the glory was really worth all the pain you went through Or that you gonna go through Real n***as know FRESH! [Verse 1] Engulfed in this vision of ours Living the fast life, cash, women and cars When you learn to be strong, weak n***as will starve In these mean ghetto streets where the villains are stars Keep having nightmares that I'm living in bars Cause they don't need no work for a conspiracy charge Look, all it takes is two people to tell And you ain't even have to see them n***as yourself They try to hide you and your co-de's in jail Then take away the bails and force n***as to tell A weak link when you in deep sh** Hope you got lawyer dough cause legal aides won't beat sh** You in the yard looking for n***as to beef with Mixing your noodles with the cheese and a beef stick Your ca**erole and your jack mac popping You got 20 years for being black, crack chopping [Hook] (x2) You lose some and you win some But what good is income when the end come? You can't take none of it with ya Too bad when you gone that's when it hits ya [Verse 2] These fake OGs is clowns, most G's in the ground so they let us down Out here in deep waters and the sharks around And if you wimps can't swim then you bound to drown So now, in the town we're surrounded by silly kids Who don't know what keeping it real really is They got the wrong idea of what a willy is But the game will turn you to the man that you really is From doing what you gotta do to reach a quota To strapping up to go get the money n***as owe ya To staying on your toes, know they coming for ya I done seen ballers disappear like Abe Goda I know tar heels, who got green thumbs That will be at your door for the green son Hard knock life fakes get their bell rung For acting tougher than a steak that was well done A1 felonies, f** sauce Enemies starving, you the main course You were stunting on them dudes you were serving On your road to the riches you were swerving You got k**ed by dudes you know Now goons came to see your moms about the debt you owe Add that with the wake and the funeral cost She had a heart attack, now two lives is lost [Hook] (x2)
