[Intro]
On a east side night
Under that street light
On the corner of don't think twice
I find my mind where it shouldn't be (Kells)
[Verse 1]
Crack Rock in that padlock
With a stash spot in my ragtop
Street dreams, down the block from my dad's spot
Bad cops on my payroll (Payroll)
At a buck a pop like Faygo
Add 50 Cent for like three keys
Open up the doors for that Yayo
White nights and I make snow
Bright lights, then I lay low
Fight nights, I'm like Mike Tyson
KO for that peso
That's the life that we chose
Talking 'bout money, cars, and these clothes
Fuckin' with twenty broads that's exposed
And we in the strip clubs 'til they close
These are the chronicles of a hood motherfucker
Doin' what he gotta do to get paid
Chronic smoke in every follicle of my shades
Writing my obituary, diggin' my grave
'Cause all they say is jail or death
And I figure there ain't nothin' left that I ain't did
So since I'm knee deep in my shit, don't hold my breath
Oh shit, guess it's back to that broke shit
Roach clip in my ashtray
2Pac on my posters
Dreams of living like Sosa
But I'm wakin' up on this sofa
Said I'm wakin' up on this sofa
I ain't waiting 'round here no longer
[Pre-Chorus]
Get it how you live it, bitch, we livin' dirty
And most of us that's livin' now ain't livin' thirty
Get it how you live it, bitch, we livin' dirty
Cock that .38, put on my mask and it gets blurry
I don't think you heard me
[Chorus]
What I need a shirt for?
When you beast shit and you go hard 'til that tour's gone
And you back onto that street shit
What-what-what I need this shirt for?
When these tattoos that I bleed with
Say everything about my story, come read this now
What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? What I need a shirt for?
When I go hard, so hard, to get everything that I worked for
[Verse 2]
At the top is no friends, dog
At the bottom ain't shit, dog
Middle man and ain't it, dog
Plotting, drinkin' this Hen', dog
And I said, Lord my savior (My savior)
Have I not protected my neighbor? (My neighbor)
Have I not neglected these haters? (These haters)
Have I not kept you in my prayers?
So when my life keeps going downhill
Am I wrong for looking upstairs?
Am I wrong for feeling you hate me?
Am I wrong for thinking you'd care?
Am I wrong for keepin' this weed lit?
And these smoke clouds in this air?
But I can't sleep without my mind gone
'Cause of shit I witnessed last year
That boy that left out was just family
I ain't see the shit comin'
We was supposed to be at these Grammys
We was supposed to be stunting
Shit, we was supposed to somethin'
Fuck that, we was supposed to be brothers
Helped you out when you were strugglin'
I don't owe you nothin', motherfucker
[Chorus]
What I need a shirt for? (Shirt for)
When you beast shit and you go hard 'til that tour's gone
And you back onto that street shit
What-what-what I need this shirt for? (Shirt for)
When these tattoos that I bleed with
Say everything about my story, come read this now
What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? What I need a shirt for?
When I go hard, so hard, to get everything that I worked for
[Outro]
Kells
