Story behind the song
First Verse: Young kids out there who think hustling is the way to go...
Second Verse: Guy going around tryin' to do every girl he see's and girls who fall for a guy like him everytime...
Third Verse: A kid who just tries to get through life, not doing anything wrong, but other kids don't view him as up to par and give him nothing but a hard time
Lyrics
Ay you best believe it
With each moment I develope into a better poet
It's the raw code, only the elite know it
Written scripts mixed with beat flips and drum kits
Not to get rich, but because I love this
Here's the fifth for everyone who's been through shit
Walkin' the path of life and can't help, but trip
On the blue collar chip on your shoulder tip
Loadin' clips 'til the day the drug game is over with
Runnin' the streets hustlin' drugs and bootlegs
'Least 'til two in the head leave you dead
Spendin' every waking moment runnin' from the cops
But you ain't gon stop, you'll just find another spot
Take it up a notch, this time you roll thirty deep
That's the only way you can survive these dirty streets
It's gotta be rough not havin' a plan
And can't stand not havin' an automatic in your hand
'Cuz without a glock, you don't feel like a man
But you gotta get the money any way that you can
A green piece of paper to you is worth more than life
Long as you flossin' more ice then it's all tight
When are you gonna learn that crime ain't nothin' but trouble?
The only shit you gon' be talkin' up is in a court with a rebuttle
Approachin' the stand
Beggin' for a chance
But 40 to life is the only thing the judge plans
Big, buff and 23
Runnin' every girl he see's
Thinkin', "Man, nothin' bad'll ever happen to me."
Until the invincible wiz is given a bib
And finds that one of his girls is carryin' his kid
So, faced with problems, he ducks out and runs
Ready to bust one
But not ready for a son
Tryin' to play if off using the same lines
"It's not mine
Damn, girl, you're out of your mind."
But next time you get all hype on the couch
Think about if you're ready for what might be comin' out
Instead of learnin' from it
He goes searchin' for another girl
Buyin' her things and promisin' the world
But she's askin' how many girls he's macked with
But he lies and says, "Girl, I always wrap it."
But the fact is he's got the H-I-V
And if you get with him you gon' get the A-I-D's
He's positive tested
The player was wreckless
Nobody expected that he was infected
And he was slick enough to convince you
And every other girl he got with too
He's the devious kind
With one thing on his mind
But somehow, he's got girls standin' in line
So next time you're gettin' with that kind of guy
You better think about if you're ready to die
Fifteen with dreams
But trapped inside his home
All alone 'cuz no one ever calls him on the phone
Just a kid with nothin', but love to give
It's tough to live with all the pain that comes to him
But he's calm and never does wrong despite that
Showin' people love is the way he fights back
It's like everytime he thinks he's found a good person
They kick him to the curb and he's right back to hurtin'
Done a lot of things, livin' a good life
But he'd give it all for not having the lonely nights
He's at the breakin' point, he's had enough
Sick of bein' tough, he's ready to give up
Just because he didn't worry about what they didn't like
They were so unfair to him that he took is own life
What a waste, a soul shown nothin', but hate
'Cuz of people who would rather get drunk and bake
Sheep that take pleasure out of beating the weak
Followin' the ways of others from their head to their feet
Instead of taking the time and being a good friend
'Cuz of people like you, we will never see him again
