| Ooh |
| Yeah |
| I’ma just call this «Writer's Block» |
| Yeah |
| Quarter million in invoices, I’m hearing voices |
| Gotta live with my friends' choices, can’t endorse it |
| We was supposed to bend twin Porsches and then— |
| Eatin' oysters, meetin' lawyers |
| Me and the streets divorcing |
| One-man army, no reinforcement |
| Dodgin' karma from three abortions |
| Thuggin' so hard like we enjoyed it |
| Forty-five on me like twenty-three and Jordan |
| Paper longer than Pippen’s arms, wingspan |
| Came up with a whole team of shooters, but we ain’t playin' |
| Throw it up, I took off from the block like Steve Francis |
| Fronted us, so he thought he could tax it, so we ain’t pay him |
| That was my first advance, fuck it, it’s worth a chance |
| From dead broke to up, had to count 'til I hurt my hand |
| Shorty had broke my heart, was a while 'fore I heard again |
| If I did, I don’t remember shit, I was on several Xans |
| That was the darkest times |
| Fuck that shit |
| It’s difficult starting over, you gotta start were you are |
| Head and heart full of scars |
| Catchin' charge after charge |
| Tired of takin' losses, I celebrate breakin' even |
| Been yellin' out, «Grind hard,» I ain’t ever say it was easy |
| You niggas ain’t never know me for hesitatin', just squeezin' |
| They lie to y’all, then the devil make you believe 'em |
| The streets ain’t nothin' but pain', put no trust in the game |
| I was really outside, used to love to hustle in the rain |
| Might’ve just got a job if I knew just what it’d bring |
| Nah, I ain’t want no L, so who the fuck I’ma blame? |
| Even when it seemed like it was all bad, it was all good |
| Standin' on all ten, shootin' all seventeen |
| I got stuck with some dirt and my phone, it don’t never ring |
| Swear I just need a plug and I put that on everything |
| The apartment on Bell Road with nobody there but Bing |
| I ain’t sleep for two years straight, I forgot that I had a dream |
| Front page of the newspaper, stand in my magazine |
| Shit, I was stuck then too |
| Fuck around with Dot and them |
| Got back in school |
| I needed some more shit to write about |
| I don’t regret nothing, fuck it |
| It’s history |
| 'Fore you know where you going, you gotta know where you been |
