Jeezy told the world
trap or die, get a ki
But raised his son up
To be nerdy like me
He used the hood money
To pay his son college
But yall don't fuck wit me cuz I'm local and bout that knowledge?
Aw i see what this is
yall just be dickridin
So when somethin go down;
I'm shootin at everybody
Chillin out don't break my vibe
Indian no chief no tribe
Wanna open me and see
Can't handle what's inside
Gotta get this shit together
My confidence is waning
This team won't let me lead
Spend all our time explaining
Don't try to make me care about the shit you care about
I got some skills that you ain't got that I'd be dead without
People who scared to chase they dreams take the easy way
Easy way ain't easy it seems so they need to pay
Attention to the shit I'm sayin now
These folks just tryna to scare you, shoot your shot and make it count
Dboys tell you KEYS open doors, that's official
But_ it's the doors to the penitentiary nigga
Music is food
This shit be feedin us
Take it serious, You cant tell
But it be leadin us
Music got spirits in it
They know it's more than songs
They make the worst of our people rich to teach us wrong (ay!)
I never ever thought I'd see the day where being real wasn't cool
And you get praised when you sacrifice your morals for some plays or some views
I just wanna disappear
I always try to make the best of what I got but,
I ain't happy livin here
It's a livin hell
My hood got lupus, diabetes, gaut, and sickle cell
And we just keep on celebrating like some damn fools
Yo kid make A's but they make em at a stupid school
We got to do extra at home, Cuz depending on these teachers to do everything for em
Is like- squirtin visine in the eye of a storm
Music is food
This shit be feedin us
Take it serious, You cant tell
But it be leadin us
Music got spirits in it
They know it's more than songs
They make the worst of our people rich to teach us wrong (ay!)
I never ever thought I'd see the day where being real wasn't cool
And you get praised when you sacrifice your morals for some plays or some views
The saying goes, pride comes before the fall prolly why I never fell I ain't proud of this at all
Now you sittin in your cell wonderin who love you and love you not
Shit didn't get real til you was cryin in yo mug shot
I said let's start a business, slow down, beware
Now you in prison cuz you programmed yourself to be there
But god got a plan just get focused while you sober
When you get out we bout to take this mothafucka over!
Music is food
This shit be feedin us
Take it serious, You cant tell
But it be leadin us
Music got spirits in it
They know it's more than songs
They make the worst of our people rich to teach us wrong (ay!)
I never ever thought I'd see the day where being real wasn't cool
And you get praised when you sacrifice your morals for some plays or some views
