CHORUS: 
I'm pushin' down the ave. no one lookin' good 
I'm baggin' stones niggas diamonds up against that wood. 
I'm pushin' down the ave. no one lookin' good 
I'm baggin' stones niggas diamonds up against that wood. 

I'm pimpin' down the ave. you know I'm lookin' tight 
These jealous niggas looking at me and my car so shife. 
want to take my life, and want to jack, but I see all through that, 
Never let these bitch niggas take what's mine nigga never do that 
Who's says he's going through a thang when ya'll ain't never lied. 
I gotta a baby but it's momma act like he ain't mine. 
Wicked women using children to live on 
When I hurt and try to hate cause she knows the thrill is gone 
Say man I stop smokin' with haters back in 94 
But niggas thinkin' that a sweeps gone get the through my door 
And niggas talk a lot of shit in a safe place, 
I know cause he can't look me eye-to-eye when he in my face 
Now nigga listen to my thesis, see just what I mean 
Nigga I ride dirty everyday, but still I shine so clean 
Glitter and gleam, and all what it look like 
So I keep swangin' I hear clanging tryin' to live my life 

CHORUS (2x) 
I see these niggas and days go and come 
And fo me just to wake, I'm know I'm pissed 
I grab my cis and I split my sista with my bunk 
Some of my sweets be tight And some of my sweets be fucked up 
But all of my sweets gonna blow so killas smoke get sucked up 
I looked up today and didn't fall prey to none of that pistol play 
But who is to say tomorrow they won't be blastin' this-a-way 
I'm puffin' spliffs of hay Still upset about the drama here 
At this time of year I'm wipin' away my dead homey momma's tears... shit.. 
But naturally them fuckin' laws is always after me 
So I have to be in that matter on that 5-0-3 
I'm livin' dastardly 
Must be all about survival G 
These niggas passin' me streets keep on gettin' live with me. 
They say there has to be another way but I ain't feelin that. 
They try to steal a lad, and my wig they want to peel it back. 
But still the fact remains. It's all about the game swangin' bang 
Peace to E-S-G and all the victims of the game 

CHORUS (3x) 
I'm pimpin' through the ave. tryin' to see some good 
But everythang is still the same in my neighborhood 
Niggas frown when you up and smile when you down 
And when you change for the better shife fools stop comin' around 
I see the jealousy and hate, the wicked ways 
We all lost children, pray for papers, and smokin' our lives away 
Got to the point where I could not decipher day from night 
She say she love me but all we do now is fuckin' fight 
My conscience f*ck with me so much I can't eat or sleep 
The other side is sellin' dope and out there runnin' the streets 
And even though I'm gaining street fame comin' from this rap game 
Lust for thankin' and compulsive drankin' is a normal thang 
Some get erased and misplaced tryin' to win the race 
Some try to hold on to there place by smokin' with lace 
But see drugs and plastic thugs ain't gonna change the hood 
I'm smokin' skunk and poppin' the truck to make me feel good. 

CHORUS (2x) 
So it's your life...
