What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I walked in the crib, got 2 kids
2
And my baby momma late (uh oh, uh oh, uh oh)
3
So I had to did what I had to did
4
Cause I had to give (dough, dough, dough)
5
I'm up all night gettin' my money right
6
Until the blue and whites (popo, popo, popo)
7
Now the money coming slow, but at least a nigga know
8
Slow motion better than (no-oh, no-oh, no-oh)
9
You love to hear the story, again and again
10
About these young brothers from the city of wind
11
Like juice and gin in the city we blend
12
Amongst the hustle, titties and skin, fifties and rims
13
Y'all know the spreewells
14
And trucks that's detailed,
15
Heartless females that want to ride in 'em
16
Felt the southside in them with raw hides and denim
17
Bent minds collide with them
18
A system that tries victims, we livin' in
19
My man in the fast lane pivotin'
20
On the block white is sellin' like m & m
21
On the block get jump off like Kim ' 'em
22
On the block is how you can feel it in your skin
23
Shorties get the game with no instructions of asemblin'
24
Odds right it seems like the fight is dim in him
25
Call my man cousin like I'm kin to him
26
He tryin' to stay straight, the streets is bendin' him
27
I walked in the crib, got 2 kids
28
And my baby momma late (uh oh, uh oh, uh oh)
29
So I had to did what I had to did
30
Cause I had to give (dough, dough, dough)
31
I'm up all night gettin' my money right
32
Until the blue and whites (popo, popo, popo)
33
Now the money coming slow, but at least a nigga know
34
Slow motion better than (no-oh, no-oh, no-oh)
35
It's all good in the hood like rats and gyms
36
Fullbacks and tims, blacks and rims
37
Whether on ball courts
38
Attires are ball shorts
39
We never fall short
40
With us it's all force like air ones
41
Some wave some air guns
42
The day of the fair ones it's over fo'
43
Cats is colder than four below, wha'sup?
44
I go toe to toe
45
Wondering if it's for the art or for the dough
46
Though I know to grow a nigga gotta learn to let go
47
Though I know the dough I gotta bring back to the ghetto
48
Aeros or Tarot cards pointin' to the grind
49
Po' livin' and mo' prisons pointin' to my mind
50
Shine the light up!
51
Clench my fists tight and holdin' it right up
52
Freedom fight in dark gear for the years to get brighter
53
Situations, the jaws get tighter
54
My man trying to get his way to higher
55
I walked in the crib, got 2 kids
56
And my baby momma late (uh oh, uh oh, uh oh)
57
So I had to did what I had to did
58
Cause I had to give (dough, dough, dough)
59
I'm up all night gettin' my money right
60
Until the blue and whites (popo, popo, popo)
61
Now the money coming slow, but at least a nigga know
62
Slow motion better than (no-oh, no-oh, no-oh)
63
Yo, hey yo I, I know I could make it right
64
If I can just swallow my pride
65
But I can't run away or put my gun away
66
You can't front on me
67
I, no I can't let it ride
68
No no not tonight
69
No I can't run away or put my gun away
70
You can't front on me
