[Intro]
(X.O. think he all that)
[Verse 1: Propain]
Yeah, life is crazy to me
But all these fairy tale stories that made us believe
And all these walks that they convince you to place your beliefs
But as you grow, you learn that shit ain't the way it's perceived
This life could really give you hell, gotta pray on your knees
Damn, like what the Devil on?
Labroda hit the can so much that he think the jail is home
His mama ain't acceptin' his calls, child of healin' stones
On the same block niggas killin' for, they ain't gon' nevеr own
But money, power, respеct got us feelin' like is we ever wrong?
Even Dr. King had them hoes callin' Coretta's phone
His nigga hit the league got rich, thought he's forever on
Now he doin' forex scams 'cause all his cheddar gone
And all your entourage went ghost, you got that debt alone
No comprende, Lord, 'til you get him Rosetta Stone
The shit we learned in school really poison, them folks done let us roam
Fuck history class, mane, teach us 'bout gettin' a credit loan
Or how to get a home, nigga
[Interlude: Propain]
For real
These are the things, man
I can't control them, this just how it go
[Chorus: Propain]
Yeah, I say what goes up (Up), must come down (Down)
Same thing that make a nigga laugh, it make him frown (Ayy)
It ain't no fun once that karma comes around (Ayy)
But still waters run deep, don't get your shallow ass drowned
[Verse 2: Propain]
Yeah, life is funny to me
That same love that make you smile could become a disease
Your growth, it piss 'em off, they hot as a hundred degrees
Used to be ride or die, now niggas just want you deceased
Your haters never far away, it's always the ones you could see
Damn, rest in peace to Dolph
My cousin caught COVID, so what? Know he could beat a cough
The next time I seen him was stiff inside a cathedral wall
Hurt 'cause whole time that he fought the shit, we ain't speak at all
What's worse is last time that he hit me, I'd probably screened his call
Meant to hit him back and forget it, swear I ain't mean it, dog
I wonder what's the price we could pay to make the reaper stall
Bring Nipsey back, let us get to see Pimp C evolve
We all take this life for granted, like we could beat the odds
Ain't a soul alive out thinkin' that they won't see tomorrow
I be holdin' grudges with family when we just need to talk
Knowin' if somethin' happen to any of 'em, it'll bleed my heart
Damn, but
[Interlude: Propain]
Damn, that's real talk, man
That pride or ego, man, shit fuck us all up though
[Chorus: Propain]
Yeah, I say what goes up (Up), must come down (Down)
Same thing that make a nigga laugh, it make him frown (Ayy)
It ain't no fun once that karma comes around (Ayy)
But still waters run deep, don't get your shallow ass drowned (Mane)
[Outro: Bun B]
Right? And that's where that campaign comes from
Right? And then so outside of that
People are tellin' me, "Look, B
You know it would be a lot easier if you just went and do your own thing
You know, Pimp tripped out
You know, he fucked it up, he went and caught a case, all of that shit
You could go do your own thing"
I'm like, "Nigga, this is UGK for life, where you talk—"
And that's where that comes from
Because too many people was askin' me or tryna convince to do it by myself
And I could peep game, I already know
They wanna separate me from the team so they could try to take advantage of me
No, I'ma stayin' down with my nigga
I'm stayin' down with my people, period
If we gon' go out, that's how we gon' go out
