Ya, let's take em back Uh huh Coming up I was confused my momma kissing a girl Confusion occurs coming up in the cold world Daddy ain't around probably out committing felonies My favorite rapper used to sing ch-check out my melody I want to live good, so should I sell dope for a fo-finger ring Money and them gold ropes Santa told me if I pass could get a sheep skin coat If I can move a few packs and get the hat, now that'd be dope Tossed and turned in my sleep at night Woke up the next morning niggas done stole my bike Different day same shit, ain't nothing good in the hood I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could [Chorus] Hate it or love it the underdog's on top And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stop Go head' envy me I'm raps MVP And I ain't going nowhere so you can get to know me Hate it or love it the underdog's on top And I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stop Go head' envy me I'm raps MVP And I ain't going nowhere so you can get to know me On the grill of my low rider Guns on both sides right above the gold wires I'll four-five 'em Kill a nigga on my song but really do it That's the true meaning of a ~ghostwriter~ 10 G's will take ya daughter out of Air Forces Believe you me homie I know all bout losses I'm from Compton where the wrong colors be cautious One phone call will have ya body dumped in Marcy I stay strapped like car seats Been banging since my lil nigga Rob got killed for his Barkley's That's 10 years I told Pooh in 95' I'd kill you if you try me for my Air Max 95s Told Banks when I met him I'ma ride And if I gotta die rather homicide I ain't have 50 Cent when my Grandmomma died Now I'm going back to Cali with my Jacob on See how time fly? [Chorus] From the beginning to the end Losers lose, winners win This is real we ain't got to pretend The cold world that we in Is full of pressure and pain Enough of me nigga now listen to Game Used to see 5-0 throw the crack by the bench Now I'm fucking with ~5-0~ it's all starting to make sense My moms happy she ain't gotta pay the rent And she got a red bow on that brand new Benz Waiting on Sha Money to land sitting in the Range Thinking how they spend 30 million dollars on airplanes When there's kids starving Pac is gone and Brendas still throwing babies in the garbage I want to know what's going on like I hear Marvin No school books they use that wood to build coffins Whenever I'm in the booth and I get exhausted I think what if Marie Banker got that abortion I love ya Ma' [Chorus]
