plus all tha dealers want a meal ticket
jealous ass bitches
playa hatenand' but we still kick it
always keep my eyes on tha prize
watch tha police
seen so much murder
neighborhoods getten no sleep
but still
i get my money on major
continuously
communicatin through my pager
niggas know me
donand't have no homies cause they jealous
i hustle solo
cause when iand'm broke i got no time for tha fellas

cause these times call for four-five sales
cause life is hell and everybody dies
what about these niggas i despise

jepordiseing lives
shootemand' right between a niggas eyes
itand's time to realize
follow tha rules
or follow tha fools, then die
everybodies tryin ta make tha news
niggas confused
quit tryin to be an og and pay your dues
if you choose to apply yourself
go with tha grain and come tha riches and tha bitches and tha fame
heavy in tha game
i donand't care what it did to them
tha gameand's been good to me
