Lyrics:

While we here lets celebrate
Don't do tomorrow what you could do today
Tell somebody you love'em nigga
Tell somebody you love'em nigga (yeah, yeah)

It was a long hard struggle
My life been a battlefield, but I keep fightin
Givin' all that I got ta give, real is the only way that I try to live
Get mines like the next man gets his
A closed mouth never got fed
That's why I'm spittin' now daddy, do it for the bread
I do it for the love, I do it for the ??
Matter fact I really do it for all the above
I'm mild mannered but I'm hype on my records
I try to separate real life from the records
Most of the stuff that I rap about be facts
But don't mean that I still live like that
A lot of paths, I no longer have to walk up out em
I'm blessed to be a rapper, I get paid to talk about em
I ain't got to keep a strap in my lap now
Thank god I can make it with this rap now


Summertime 1985, granmomma, grandaddy they were still alive
Me and my cousins playin' the the yard
Before a young nigga knew that life got hard
Years went by, now we in the streets
They was in the trap and I was rappin' over beats
Jermaine, but everybody called him maine

On my birthday he got murdered and slain
???? Now he the subject of my sad song
I miss him, we can't never bring him back
I wish he woulda asked me for them couple stacks damn
His momma look so hurt
When she had to put her son body in tha dirt
And I cried, I hope you listen to the words I speak
If one person get the picture that's good for me


I'm not tryin' to steal ya money
I'm not tryin' to take ya woman
I'm just tryin' to feed my family and take care of my momma
I'm a slave ever since they broke these chains I been runnin'
Everything came to me was a long time comin'
I'm an OG man, I just look this way
Ill do somethin' to ya, I just look this way
I ain't got enough face for my tear drop trails
Too many homies locked up to help 'em make bail
So I try to send 'em pictures, holla on tha phone
Try to keep 'em motivated till they make it home
Sometimes I feel like I'm locked up and I'm free
Sometimes I feel like its overwhelming being me
But I snap back and realize I'm built for this life
Everything you take from me imma get back twice
No problems and no failures, imma pro
'Cause the solutions for succeeding is all that I know
