[Verse:]
2
Tears for odb, drug induced poetry
3
What's the use? Strung out from that drug abuse
4
What was me?
5
80's baby so I know my pops was getting high
6
In the 90's me and mama barely getting by
7
2000's, I was concentrating more on getting fly
8
Getting bitches, getting rich to get the shit I couldn't buy
9
You know the story, you know my allegory
10
I was sent from heaven with a set of horns, they better warn yall
11
I'm here for more then just the kicks, some witty metaphors dawg
12
This more uh the type of shit you spit to set a war off
13
Cuz niggas be poor, get money, then still don't know
14
With the fuck they can't cop a house, the system meant to lock us out
15
But I'm knockin down the doors, strapped up with a 4-4
16
Robin Hood shit and yea I'm hood rich
17
That's good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip
18
Get good hand from a good bitch
19
I give 2 s***s, I'mma tell you straight up
20
[Hook:]
21
Straight up
22
Straight up
23
Byany chance, I'mma take it
24
Rather die before I fake it
25
They say life is what you make it, bitch
26
But I'm just tryna make it straight up
27
Straight up
28
Straight up
29
By any chance, I'mma take it
30
Rather die before I fake it
31
They say life is what you make it, bitch
32
[Verse:]
33
Lord have mercy on my soul, what I've done and what I've seen
34
My life has tumbled into that, which only you could intervene
35
I put my heart in senseless things "“ money, bitches and street shit
36
Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won't be shit
37
Grew up in this bitch without a pot to piss, no toilet
38
How ironic, I took a lot of shit
39
Like a bottom bitch or a model chick, high off coke
40
They locking sons up for less, I don't care how yall cope
41
But yet I still pedal this dope and these pills
42
I never known how sittin comfy on that Oprah seat feels
43
More than likely be on most wanted posters we steal
44
Holding on to old dreams of being Hova, be real
45
We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles
46
Left for dead, some niggas fled, people say they sold they souls
47
I just think they found a better way
48
Lord knows I never prayed
49
But sometimes I be wishin I could levitate
50
I take this straight up
51
[Hook:]
52
Straight up
53
Straight up
54
Byany chance, I'mma take it
55
Rather die before I fake it
56
They say life is what you make it, bitch
57
But I'm just tryna make it straight up
58
Straight up
59
Straight up
60
By any chance, I'mma take it
61
Rather die before I fake it
62
They say life is what you make it, bitch
63
But I'm just tryna make it straight up
64
[Outro:]
65
Hey
66
Hey
67
Go away
68
2-6 faded out shit
69
For all my niggas still going through it
70
Yea
71
Straight up
72
My niggas gotta learn something
73
It's 2012 nigga
74
And we're still killing ourselves
75
You ought to know by now nigga
76
Now you gon never know
77
Yo
