This song is about a nigga always trying to keep you downYou know you got to touch thatWe made something from nothing and vowed to never tear it apartWe turned the street hustle into an artThat would quickly change life forever for usNo more riding bikes or catching the busWe on the roll up, money to fold upWith cognac and cooked yolaGot the neighborhood about to blow up, but hold upI see this van sittin', this old cat in a fittedTrying to get your little homey tore upYo bruh, we ain't working on this corner take your ass on, dogâ€~Fore you make me feed your ass to my hogs you fucking fagotI know you want to catch me with this bag so you can hide meOr with my 44 so you can 45 meYou put this shit off in our neighborhoods and sweat usAnd when you finally catch us up you give us lettersA cold thing just when a nigga reach his gold manYou hand him a case for easing out the dope game and I'mWatching us unfold with the timesHe don't really want a nigga to climbYou'd rather separate me from my family foreverInstead of trying to keep us togetherYou motherfuckers would rather keep me downSo what I rap about these streetsThat don't make me be no less of a manThan a person that do work with his handsIt's bad enough I got to deal with all these pressures that standYou tryin' to make me stray away from my planKnow what I'm sayin'?I'm from the gutter, where all we had was one anotherNo wheat bread to butter, from one bed to the otherAll uncles and no brother my mother's at workMy grandfather was my dad and when he died it hurtAnd as I hold back the tears my eye-wells swellI been praying for heaven, I been living in hellAnd these niggas in my age group is dead or either locked upThe bitches no better, they smoked out or knocked upBut I still love my hood, that's where it startedAin't no hard feelings, we partners nigga, regardlessThat's why you always see me coming aroundâ€~Cause I could never turn my back on my town but still I'mWatching us unfold with the timesHe don't really want a nigga to climbYou'd rather separate me from my family foreverInstead of trying to keep us togetherYou motherfuckers would rather keep me downWatching us unfold with the timesHe don't really want a nigga to climbYou'd rather separate me from my family foreverInstead of trying to keep us togetherYou motherfuckers would rather keep me downMoney never changed meMoney changed the people aroundNow they plot to try to keep me downBut still I rise like yeastYour whole conversation â€~bout BFuck a nigga talking bout me, I'm a GThe realest motherfucker ever done itYou can't continue to pimp me and y'all eat from itSo fuck every soul who ever felt like I owedThem a god damn dime, or a god damn rhymeOr a god damn chance, motherfucker you sadYou a grown ass man, holding a nigga handNow get out on your own, stop depending on your homesTo chuck you a bone, and stop throwing stonesAnd that goes for everybody thinking it's themFuck you, you and you herHim and him, Tom, Dick and KimAll of y'all stand accused saying fuck to meAnd I done bought your children's shoes I'mWatching us unfold with the timesHe don't really want a nigga to climbYou'd rather separate me from my family foreverInstead of trying to keep us togetherYou motherfuckers would rather keep me downWatching us unfold with the timesHe don't really want a nigga to climbYou'd rather separate me from my family foreverInstead of trying to keep us togetherYou motherfuckers would rather keep me down
