Shyne

Gat the city sippin ….

We up

Kid’s going broke

Tryna keep up with me

I’ll rather spend my life in federal custody

But screw with this

There’s a price in this life by name nothing freeCan’t really tell you clear but I started it

The hard living and watch Frank Matthews been on views

My state of mind

How could you argue with a man who rejected poverty

And made his way from where God is business

They say I’m wrong but we all sinners

I just turned myself into something. Mehn!

My paper game is God driven

I feed babies and godwilling

That don’t justify all lives I destroyed

It’s a harsh business

I’m just a mirror of the world as I found it

Don’t blame me we all criminal minded

Cri…cri..cri…cri…cri…criminal minded

Build schools not prisons

Politicians are mindless. Mehn

You abandon the minors and expect them not to go turn criminal minded


[Hook]

Living life of crime

Aint no other way

To make it out of poverty is give my hunger pay

Never gon’ change no matter my mama pray

Rather see the grave than live a life to pain


[Verse 2]

No complains

I just played the hand that was dealt to me

Watch my mouth

Never know where the feds could be

Decided early it was death as well for me

Gotta get that cash by no paper like self degree

Take a look

I’m what happens when hope leaves

What was now a friend now a dope feigned

I don’t sleep

I’m up night

Thinking of ways of backing out

But I just spent a couple mill watching Mayweather Pacquiao


Exactly how I got to this point

Can’t explain then in the workings

How I became a feign

Like the fees I’m used to serving

Addicted to the power that money brings

Used to walk with holes in my shoes

Now I’m running things

Over-compensation for the days I was suffering

24 surveillance by the federal government (son of men)

How do I sleep on a bed full of cash

Till I’m in a grave with a federal o’ max

These narrow minded people say I’m selling ‘em crack

I’m just selling ‘em hope

A way for them to go


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]

Can’t let no crooked politician decide my faith

From the bottom, the top seems so high away

They building prisons

I’m applied to yail (YAIL: Young Adult Independent Living)

American dreams uh?

I was designed to fail

No one to blame for the choices I chose for me

Never a choice, this all It was known to me

But take a minute

You look at it closer, you see

Nowhere in Brooklyn do they grow any cold police

That don’t excuse all lives that I ruined

But if I don’t serve the fees then somebody else will move in

Who am I fooling but I’m only human

At least that is what I tell myself

What am I doing

It bothers me but not as much as poverty

Because despite Obama’s speech

Gat to walk these gaddam streets

Please help the minors

Don’t judge me we all criminal minded


[Hook]
