I still got pride Outta three-fourths of them niggas who cross your path Minus them half ass who talk fast an' finish last Who gon' get his cash, turn to his man an' give him half Cock the hammer back, stood by his side an' didn't dash When the charge is federal an' they fingerprint his ass Who can he trust to be in front of the judge screamin' ?It's just me?, it must be more than just a nigga love Make 'em do five joints, no contact without givin' his niggas up Give his keys to his truck, wish his niggas luck Call it's best fit, suggested that she let his niggas fuck Finger fuck them figures up, no parole, bigger truck Kasino is that name big enough, nigga, what? You wouldn't bust your gat wit me if you never sat wit me Lit up a sack wit me or hustle some crack wit me Came through the cipher, bow down an' spat wit me Hopped up the truck an' gave niggas daps wit me You never laugh wit me, never went half wit me Never been through the struggle, never felt the wrath wit me Never slept on the same floor or hit the same whore Ran up in the same store or with the same four Blood thicker than water only in certain cases You need water to live, you learn that in the basics Better cherish your aces, bullets in the faces of the jokers We laugh at fire, nigga, we smokers Sittin' on the sofa, puffin' the hash, nigga, we focused Why lie? I die where the coke is Can I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride They kill me, you gon' kill them? I still got pride Can I live? Hell, yeah but you still gon' die C'mon, nigga, you a thug but I'm still gon' cry An' you done learned off experience, I'm still gon' ride They kill me, you gon' kill them?
