(Feat. Stacy Barthe)




[Intro Fabolous]
Yeah, everything, everything was the same


[Verse 1 Fabolous]
I'm old enough to know better, young enough to not give a $#&@

Rather hold my head high and die, then live and duck
I gotta' set it off Jada Queen and Vivica
The last chick was scared to get that money, I can't live like her

Got no problem with you ni**as, get it how you live it, bruh
It's a cold world, these mean streets will shiver ya'
All I asks is for the same respect that I be givin' ya

If not my boy will put the beats on you, Karen Civil ya
That boy be on his shoot first, never mind the trivia
My advice, don't mess with his man, word to Nivea

We go back to when we got that white from Bolivia
We was candy shopping before 50 and Olivia
That's when you would go uptown, cause you had to re' there

Everybody broke back then, you had to repair
Drug dealing was cool back then, you had to beware
That was the 90's, ya'll wouldn't get it, you had to be there

That's why I'm glad to be here, some of us never made it
It's hard to get off the ground, ya'll think I just levitated
Ya'll think it was all love and nobody ever hated

Ya'll think cause I stated I never been devastated
All ya'll see is sunshinin', think I was never shadedd
Ya' think these calendar models is all that I ever dated

^!$$%, nothing was the same, HOT 97 played it
Everyday they made it that I stayed with 57 played it
Can't trust nobody, the crib is heavy gated

You ask why? I tell them even heaven's gated
You know why? Cause when you good the, devil hate it
And even if you heavy weighted people want you feather weighted

Attention I never payed it, me and this clever lady
She brains, do some thangs, then we lay together faded
And while I chill, loaded up a steel

Just wishin' a ni**a would but knowin' a ni**a will
But for real ni**a good is how you feel
But soon as a ni**a good is as soon as a ni**a will

Still, I don't owe these ni**as nothing, put that in a ni**a will

[Outro Stacy Barthe]

Damned if you do them, if you don't, don't don't don't
You're damned if you do them, if you don't
But they don't have a hand on your head to put you through

People sit around and judge you anyway
Don't, don't don't
