I never had a father figure, I was raised by the Thugs and the drug dealers, That's why i love niggaz Until they place me in my casket, Guess i'll be a hopeless bastard Gettin High in the back passage, Can't nobody make a way for me Times is hard on a nigga, Mama pray for me I'm smokin weed for the stress, Drinkin for the pain From the strain on the young brothers brain Ain't a motherfucking thing to do But hang and stay true, Thug's get lonely too I'm drinking 22's of brew, Till I'm tipsy And i ain't going out throwing up my middle finger Miss me Tryna get my hands on the cash How long will it last, Will it last a little longer if i BLAST And trust me, I'll probably be the last to preach cuz Ain't no hope for the future if they asking me And what my poppa never told me, U see i learned from the kindness, Of strangers and homies So now i can't turn back, Time to make it through They wanna ban me, But it's time to feed my family But all the homies in the hood told me nigga it's all good And Motherfuck Hollywood, For tryna shut a real nigga down Stayin true to the game, Fuck the fame I still won't change R U Still Down?
