In The Middle
(Produced by Hyaline)
(Chorus)
I need some food man, i gotta eat ( I gotta eat)
I need this cash man it's gettin hard to sleep (It's gettin hard to sleep)
I'm gettin older and these days gettin colder (It's gettin real cold)
If i don't make a move my days gon' be over
Don't ask me what i know about life cuz i been livin it
i ask you what you know about trife ass bitches, kids
with knives by the time they 15, quick to stab a man that's 50
just to get a couple 15 dollars out him in the city
y'all act like i rap about stuff just to be mean but
i rap about the stuff i seen just because i mean it
when your friends doin lines, tellin lies to cover his behind
gotta watch his back so he don't get cracked with a 9
while you sit back and recline, thinkin bout how your money's spent
i'm tryin to figure out how to pay my rent
how im gunna eat this week, now im losin sleep
thinkin can i cover the cost of turnin on the heat
now my stove is electric, no more usin that method
i'm tryin to live my life, you throwin yours away reckless
and ask me what i'd do if i checked a hundred thousand
i'd blow 99 and send a thousand to my momma
(Chorus)
Picture me livin the life of luxury tommorow
now picture me sippin some Beam just to drown my sorrow
think of how it would be if i only had that "could be" attitude
if I only hadn't lost my gratitude
if i had it like you since i was young i wouldn't waste it
but it's far to late for me to try and make it just to taste it
they say the best things in life are free, that may be true
but if you aint got no cash, you can't survive so, whats that do for you?
I'm tryin to show you how it is in-between
livin ghetto out the ghetto, when you still aint got a thing
when you wanna buy your girl a ring, but you aint got a dime
when you're strong on the outside but you cry inside
when they look you in the eye and tell you that you like the rest
when you can't go to the ER even when you clutch your chest
when you think you livin bad till you see someone livin worse
and from birth they cursed to wonder who gon' get that hurse first
(Chorus)
