[Verse 1]
2
Tears for ODB, drug-induced poetry
3
What's the use? Strung-out from that drug abuse, woe is me
4
80's baby, so I know my pops was gettin' high
5
In the 90's, me and mama barely gettin' by
6
2000's I was concentratin' more on gettin' fly
7
Gettin' bitches, gettin' rich to get the shit I couldn't buy
8
You know the story, you know my allegory
9
I was sent from Heaven with a set of horns, they'd better warn y'all
10
I'm here for more than just to kick some witty metaphors, dawg
11
This more of the type of shit you spit to set a war off
12
'Cause niggas be poor, get money and still don't know
13
Why the fuck they can't cop a house, the system meant to lock us out
14
But I'm knockin' down the door, strapped up with a four-four
15
Robin Hood shit "“ and yeah, I'm 'hood rich
16
That's good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip
17
Get good head from a good bitch, I give two shits, I'ma tell you straight up
18
[Hook]
19
Straight up
20
Straight up "“ aye, any chance I'ma take it
21
Rather die before I fake it
22
They say life is what you make it, bitch, but I'm just tryna make it
23
Straight up
24
Straight up
25
Straight up "“ aye, any chance I'ma take it
26
Rather die before I fake it
27
They say life is what you make it, bitch
28
[Verse 2]
29
Lord have mercy on my soul "“ what I've done and what I've seen
30
My life has tumbled into that which only you could intervene
31
I put my heart in senseless things "“ money, bitches and street shit
32
Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won't be shit
33
Grew up in this bitch without a pot to piss in, no toilet
34
How ironic, I took a lot of shit, like a bottom bitch
35
Or a model chick, high off coke
36
They lockin' sons up for less, I don't care how y'all cope
37
But yet I still peddle this dope and these pills
38
I'll never know how sittin' comfy on that Oprah seat feels
39
More than likely be on Most Wanted posters, we still
40
Holdin' on to old dreams of bein' Hova, be real
41
We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles
42
Left for dead, some niggas fled, people say they sold their souls
43
I just think they found a better way, Lord knows I never pray
44
But sometimes I be wishin' I could levitate, I'll take it straight up
45
[Hook]
46
Straight up
47
Straight up "“ aye, any chance I'ma take it
48
Rather die before I fake it
49
They say life is what you make it, bitch, but I'm just tryna make it
50
Straight up
51
Straight up
52
Straight up "“ aye, any chance I'ma take it
53
Rather die before I fake it
54
They say life is what you make it, bitch, but I'm just tryna make it
55
Straight up
