Drugs oppress the people every day Sellin dope, servin weed we had to hustle to hustle just to eat Aint no hope in the streets, you broke you sell dope All my young n***az outside hustlin coke Know the drama, if you aint sellin crack then its ganja I been through it dun, hittin n***az two for one Pullin guns out and bustin my sh**s too What? i aint give a f** I used to get a rush when i bust mine Backin up my nickle and dimes Goin thru difficult time Writin my life story in rhyme But when i look at all the n***as They hit with mad time In proportion with the big king pins it dont fit You could get caught with barely a half a slab And the judge sentence you like you ran the ave I aint plan to get rich fom sellin that sh** It was survival My game plan was not to get knocked by 5-0 But who am i Just a young n***a caught in the mix And if this weed dont sell i'm'a cop me a brick Sellin dope, servin weed, we had to hustle to hustle just to eat Sellin dope, servin weed, we had to hustle to hustle just to eat Its been a minute snce i been in the game Some years back i held crack I couldn't say the same thing Ask my n***as bang double and rowley We was trouble got the fiends spot bubbling hot We wouldnt never make a lot I mean not like scarface or nino brown Or george bush no matter what you push It was politics and camera tricks Very deceptive Criminal lies Us in fooled with the collective For the most part we don't own no boats and planes We just cop it from poppi Bag it in the cellophane Its a family thing You got to hustle all night Yo i seen fiends losing they brains for hard white Ask my aunt and my brother and my stressed out mother How realistic it gets its sadistic Statistics show its sick how we livin The one thing bigger than dope games is prisons One million n***as inside Over three million is tied and plus the president lied Because the white house is the rock house Uncle sam the pusha man This is for my people on the island Sellin dope, servin weed we had to hustle to hustle just to eat Sellin dope, servin weed we had to hustle just to eat But what we gon do when we caught up And have to face responsibility? (this that ghetto sh**, this that ghetto sh**) What we gon do when we caught up And have to face responsibility?
