Lyrics

Nathaniel

Shit man
Nigga gotta go on and goat damn
Get the shit straight when I god damn get out
Well shit
This what really goin' down
Wassup my nigga? Another day the same shit
Punk-ass C.O.'s on a nigga dick
Got me up at three o'clock cookin eggs n' grits
I'm a G from C.P. I can't take the shit
Tryin to hold a nigga down in this country ass town
I'm used to smokin' chronic movin' pounds
They got a nigga on some, "Sir, yessir, left right left"
Throw me in the hole if my ass outta step
They treat you like a motherfuckin' slave
Dopefiends find Jesus, swear they saved
Niggas better get they game tight
'Cause these crackers tryin to take a nigga life and they rights
I'm surrounded by fake-ass crooks
They swear they kingpins but don't have money on they books
I hear so many lies it make me sick
These niggas called ballers sellin' dimes and nicks
I can't wait 'til the day they let me go
So I can eat some steak and shrimp
Grab a mic, and bust a flow
I'm Audi 5 nigga lights out
Hold it down on the streets until the day that I get out
I'm out man
