[Intro:]

Say, say Tasha say Brianna run over there and bring me my cup ya heard me

Bring me that right there

Nigga already know my swagger sit on the ceiling with hopes of grabbing a million

If rap don't happen to happen its back to bagging and pitching

How can a child heed they father when he somewhere in the pen

30 days from my release right back in the streets again

[Hook:]

Prayers go to heaven, when you close your eyes

The gunshot sounds come as no surprise

When living in a soldier man town

When living in a soldier man town

No sunshine skies are grey

But we live this night and day

I Guess I'm living in a solider man town

I Guess I'm living in a solider man town

[Verse 1:]

750 Li, dive in the streets

You learn to shallow your pride or you die tryna eat

Kevin Gates, don't know what to call it, forever me

Whatcha months like, I ain't sold grass since 17

God I know you in control of the cards and you deal em right

My dawg gave his heart to the Lord, and got hit with life

At least we still see him, not at all freedom

Family pictures without you in em, we not at all cheesing

Something about your daughter, the way she be looking at me

Give her toys, and I spoil her, she still don't be looking happy

Niggas look crooked at me, symbol of success

Bread Winners Association got the emblem on my neck

Out of town Beto and Brian we talking brick money

A8, R8 Spyder, we talking whip money

Pigeon on the strip, feet hurting, you talking trick money

Had to get a job to survive, cough up your rent money

[Hook]

[Verse 2:]

Lord bless me with another topic, public defender

No dream team, no Johnny Cockrin

The mothers of my children got they own specific ways

Head first in the game, keep hunger pains away

When Grandfather passed away, I heard him say you the man of the family

Never thought the Judge and the DA's would try to slam me

Now I understand that it, ain't no understanding

Money in my hand, my respect, I'm demanding

Label label me reckless safe to say a loose cannon

Fast cars, fast broads, and penitentiary chances

Broke it off they like family, big dawgs got involved

Now the kid is outstanding

Nike sweats, White G-Stock look who out standing on the block

Fiends passing, watching things harassing

Stop it, in the street I'm tryna see a profit

Can't go get a job, I ain't got no other option

[Outro:]

True life confessions, expressing what I believe

Scars on the surface, with mines I can bleed

Everything I lost, eventually Ima see

Lay my life down, holding my weapon willing to squeeze

Stuck in the street life

Sucking my teeth like

Hustle to eat, while I'm, clutching my heat

Object of the game was to stack and get out of here

Shoulda never changed, so I'm trapped, can't get out of here

[Hook]
