Sittin' in the living room on the floor

Hunger pain got me on some migraine shit
12
But I'm a maintain
13
Nigga got two or three dollars to my name
14
And my homies in the same boat going through the same thing
15
Ready for the caper, steady plottin' for the paper
16
We been livin' in the dark since April
17
On the candle, gotta get a handle

Let's ride, steppin' outside like warriors
24
Head to the notorious Southside
25
One weapon to the four of us
26
Hidin' in the corridor until we see the Dominos car headlights
27
White boy in the wrong place at the right time
28
Soon as the car door open up he mine
29
We roll up quick and put the pistol to his nose
30
By the look on his face he probably shitted in his clothes
31
You know what this is, it's a stick up
32
Gimme the dough from your pickups
33
You ran into the wrong niggas
34
We runnin' down the block hot with these pizza boxes
35
So we split up and met back at the apartment
36

[Verse 2: M-1]
43
I know a way we can get paid
44
You can get down but you can't be afraid
45
Let's go to the DMV and get a ID
46
The name says you but the face is me
47
Now it's your turn take my paper work
48
Like 1, 2, 3 let's make it work
49

51
For American Express, Discover Card
52

53
Cause, when we was boostin' shit we was targets
54
Now we just walk right up and say charge it
55
To the game we rockin' brand names
56
Well known at department store chains
57
Even got the boys in the crew a few things
58
Po Po never know who to true blame
59
Store after store you know we kept rollin'
60
Wait two weeks report the card stolen
61
Repeat this cycle like a laundry mat
62
Like a glitch in the system it's hard to catch
63
Comin' out the mall with the shoppin' bags
64
We can take it right back then get the cash
65
Yeah, get a friend and then do it again
66
Damn right that's how we paid the rent
67
[Bridge x2]
68
Got to get this paper
69
I'm down for the caper, we steady on the grind
70
It's a daily struggle, we all gotta hustle
71
This is the way we survive
72
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
73
As long as there's, drugs to be sold
74
I ain't waitin' for the system to plug up these holes
75
I ain't slippin' through the cracks
76
So I'm at Portland, Oregon tryin' to slip you these raps
77
The first black in the suburbs
78
You'd think I had ecstasy, percocet, and plus syrup
79
The way the cops converged, they fucked up my swerve
80
The first young buck that I served
81
I thought back to the block
82
I never seen a cop when I was out there
83
They never came out there
84
And out there, I was slingin' crack to live
85
I'm only slingin' raps to your kids
86
I'm only trying to show you how black niggas live
87
But you don't want your little ones actin' like this
88
Lil' Amy told Becky, Becky told Jenny
89
And now they all know the skinny
90
Lil' Joey got his doo rag on
91
Driving down the street blastin' 2Pac's song, thug life baby
92
But Billy like Snoop, got his blue rag on
93
Now before you know it, you back in 'Nam
94
Now the police, got me in the middle of the street
95
Trying to beat me blue, black and orange
96
I'm like hold up, who you smacking on
97
I'm only trying to eat what you snacking on
98
[Refrain]
99
Hell yeah, y'all don't like that do you
100
Hell yeah, you fucked up the hood nigga right back to you
101
Hell yeah, you know we tired of starvin' my nigga
102
Hell yeah, let's ride, hell yeah, let's ride
103
[Bridge x2]
104
If you claimin' gangsta
105
Then bang on the system
106
And show that you ready to ride
107
Till we get our freedom
108
We got to get over
109
We steady on the grind
110
