A Million and One Things

[Intro: Lil Wayne]

What, what

This, this here's real, nigga

It's real, nigga, too real

Pay attention even though I'm young, nigga

Look, look

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

This one here's on the up, dawg

For all my people with bad luck, dawg

Strugglin', tryin' ta make a buck, dawg

For all the peeps who ain't with us, dawg

For all my niggas in Angola, stay tough, dawg

See, this from shorty on the real

I'm tired of seein' my niggas gettin' killed

They hustlin' for a mil, nigga, hustle for your bills

If ya think ya need help, holla at me, woadie, I'm trill

If I got it ta spend, then I got it to give

But listen, man, I know ya see the ice glistenin', man

I know it make you wanna go get it bad

But ya gotta think 'fore ya move, partner

'Cause it'll make your ship sink and you will lose, partner

I know you hate ta take it from a young nigga like me

But I betcha can't name one nigga like me

That's why I'm tryin' ta preach, my nigga

And teach, my nigga

If ya don't work ya don't eat, my nigga

[Chorus: Juvenile]

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

[Verse 2: Juvenile]

Look at ya, you're fuckin' up and I can tell it too

What is ya smokin'? Everything a nigga sellin' you?!

I know you could do better than that, and deserve more

Ya use to be tight with your game back in '84

All the hoes use ta jock ya

Niggas use ta knock ya

Stay a big shot, motherfucker couldn't stop ya

Then ya went ta runnin' 'round the project with them junkies

Holes in your shoes, and your body all funky

Lips all ashy, eyes popped out

Spendin' your children check, takin' food out they mouth

And you get mad with me 'cause I don't wanna give you ten

I don't support your habit, nigga, y'all grown men

I got kids ta feed, I got bills ta pay

I got people comin' askin' for shit every day

I can't please everybody, but I love my folks

If I give ya everything, baby, I'ma be broke

[Chorus: Juvenile]

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

[Verse 3: Turk]

Look, look, look

Where I stay, times is hard for a lot of my peeps

Some of my rounds doin' bad, can't even much eat

Every time I pass through, beggin' me for a dollar

Thinkin' I owe them somethin', don't even wanna holla

Nigga who use to be ballin' ain't ballin' no mo'

I can see they life fadin' away slowly for sure

Niggas who I come up with get me full of that dope

Use to care about theyself, ain't care no mo'

Niggas want me to help 'em, ain't helpin' theyself

You must be out your mind if you ain't helpin' yourself

Ain't no love loss, I just gotta stay my distance

Gotta keep my mind straight before I come up missin'

Gotta do my rap thing and make my paper, mister

Ain't gon' let nobody stop me from gettin' my six figures

Gettin' my shine on, bling-blingin' everyday

If you're not for the right, stay the fuck out my way, nigga

[Chorus: Juvenile]

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin',  shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

[Verse 4: B.G.]

Every time I hit the block, it look like it get worse

Make me wonder if V.L. and Magnolia got a curse

My niggas still my niggas, got love for 'em all

I hate to see that market ride they back and make 'em fall

Somebody tell me if I didn't have change and I was broke

Would I get the same attention when I'm in the next four-door

No, I don't think so, I'll be a equal nigga

On the set, smokin' jo's, beggin' people for scrilla

On the reala, if I could do it, then you could

Lay your hustle down and make your way out the hood

Ain't nobody gon' give no hand-outs, I swear

Ain't nobody gon' pay the bills in your house, I swear

They don't care, ya gotta stand on your own, my nigga

You ain't no child, look in the mirror, you're grown, my nigga

Do yourself a favor: leave the heroin alone, my nigga

And get your hustle on, nigga, get it on, my nigga

[Chorus: Juvenile]

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin', shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

They got a million and one things that you could be doin'

Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin',  shoo shooin'

Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and go and get it

It's starin' at ya right in your face, you ain't wit it

[Outro: Juvenile]

Man, you could be out here tryin' ta do somethin', man

I mean every time we come through, man, I do somethin' for my people, man

I give the little kids a dollar or so, ya know what I'm sayin'

I try ta do things for the football team

Try ta take care of my people

Try ta show them how ta help theyself

'Cause they got a lot of problems
