[Lil' Flip]
Uh, take a look in my eyes, tell me what you see
A ^!$$% who was young, grew up to be a G

I started off playin basketball for my coach
He started hatin so I took a differint approach
I'ma rap, $#&@ sweatin, and I'ma do somthin

(like what) that a ^!$$% won't be regrettin
Could I ride? (no)
Could I steal? (no)

Could I jack? (no)
Should I kill? (no)
Nah, I gotta get my %#@! together

Cause a ^!$$% need a house and big furniture with the leather
I pick up the pen, I pick up the pace
And I used to be broke I couldn't even pick up my face

And now, listen to the %#@! a ^!$$% be doin
While you ^!$$%'s thinkin that a ^!$$%'s career be ruined
From smokin, and drinkin

Drinkin, and smokin
And I'ma try and go platinum while you thinkin and hopin
Wishin and lookin, trying to do what I do

And if ya $#&@ with me, ill shoot or ill sue
And how you wanna' handle business, I can get it like that
And sellin work on the block, I used to get it like that

But I had to back back, and open up my eyes
When you runnin in these streets, you might get a surprise
Your friend could be a foe, your girl could be a hoe

And everybody you think got your back, you don't know
Doop been here before a ^!$$% got rich
So Doop right here when I ridin in my 6

My ^!$$% Cease make beats for me everyday
And guess what he don't never ask to get payed
My ^!$$% Red keep it real, Hump got my back

When I didn't have a car, Hump bought a Lac
Now Hump bought a Jag, and I'm in it
Runnin through these hoes but my name ain't Emitt

Uh

[Chorus: Lil' Flip]

It's a fact - everybody smiling ain't your friend
Everybody with a grin contemplating on you man
It's a fact - you reap what you sow, better watch what you do

Cause you'll do it to somebody that'll do it to you
It's a fact - your best friend will turn his back on ya
Pull a gat on ya, even rat on ya

It's a fact - that most ^!$$%z act like hoes
It's a fact - that most ^!$$%z act like hoes


[Lil' Flip]
Now who can you trust, who can you depend on?
When you all broke need money to lend on

When you tryin'a ball and your money been gone
When you tryn'a put the down payment on 10 homes
Will your ^!$$% ride for you? Will your ^!$$% bust?

Will a ^!$$% come and get your $$# out them cuffs?
Will your ^!$$% take you to the mall and buy some clothes?
Will your ^!$$% ever put you first before them hoes?

Will your ^!$$% buy you drank and smoke up the weed?
Ride for your $$# when ^!$$%z shootin down your street
Come to your funeral and tell a $#&@in story

Think about them nuts that we took with no glory
That category, the list
The rappin the hoes, the hoes and the shows

It comes and it goes
De Da De Da De Da


[Flip talking]
Straight up ^!$$%, that's how I feel
Know what I'm sayin'?

Everybody needs to be ballin ^!$$%
If you got chain ^!$$%, your ^!$$% need to have a chain
If you gotta' cut ^!$$%, your ^!$$% need a cut

If you gotta' hundred in your pocket ^!$$%
your ^!$$% need at least have fifty, know what I'm sayin?
^!$$%z that get in the rap

forget about them ^!$$%z who helped 'em ^!$$%
Keep it real ^!$$%
So that's why I don't wanna $#&@ with you new ^!$$%z man
I ain't shootin marbles with you ^!$$%z
But y'all cool


[Lil' Flip]
If it ain't Suckafree don't $#&@ wit me
Cause I know you got your eyes on my luxury
If you ain't Suckafree don't $#&@ with me

Cause I know you got your eyes on my luxury

[Chorus]
