Them checks into ya bank account, and you've up out of poverty Seems as though you lost sight of what's important when depositin' "Where you from, who you know, what you makin', what kind of car you in?" The hootin' and the hollerin', back and forth with the arguin' I got love for the game, but ay, I'm not in love with all of itĬould do without the fame, and rappers nowadays are comical If that don't work and all else fails, then turn around and follow T.I.P. Whoever havin' problems with they record sales, just holla T.I.P. The spirit of a hustler and the swagga of a college kidĪllergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politicsĪrticulate but still'd grab a nigga by the collar quick I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished with Just livin' my life (Ay), my life (Oh), my life (Ay), my life (Oh) You rather see me catch a case, then watch my future fade away. Like I once made 'em spray, now I could make them put the K's awayīeen thuggin' all my life, can't say I don't deserve to take a break I pray for patience but they make me wanna melt they face away I brought back to the hood, and all you ever did was take away Some move away to make a way, not move away 'cause they afraid I'm West Side anyway, even if I left today and stayed away It ain't that black or white, it has an area the shade of gray Some say they sold the yay, and no, they couldn't get work on Labor Day I never been a hater, still I love 'em in a crazy way Instead of being gracious, they violate in a major way

You still be wastin' days away now had I never saved the dayĬonsider them my protégé, homage I think they should pay Safe to say, I paved the way for you cats to get paid today Nevermind what haters say, ignore 'em 'til they fade awayĪmazing they ungrateful after all the game I gave away 'Cause everyone knows who you are (Rihanna, let's get it)

Stop lookin' at what you ain't got, start bein' thankful for what you do got Ay, this a special what's happenin' to all my, all my soldiers over there in IraqĮverybody right here, what you need to do is to be thankful for the life you got
