[Chorus: Trey Songz]
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life...
I'll be thuggin' till the day I die, this my life...

You ^!$$%s don't know me... you can't slow me down
You can't hold me... so imma keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' goin' on strong


[Verse 1: Obie Trice]
They say why you so defensive? I take that offensive
Comin' from the %#@! that I lived in

You wouldn't understand him unless you eye witness
Chillin' on the block where vacant lots are given
Women and children missin' men in the picture

These ^!$$%s hit up sittin' down at some center
Get a kite with a flick of a chick he once hit up
Ridiculous but that's us ^!$$%s

On the corner from dusk to dawn
Till that %#@! whites brought to America's gone
Be a good samaritan my heritage was did wrong

So all that sufferin' that's just prolong
Long as you knowin' that strong arm robbery
Was brought on by this society deprivin' me

This brings violence if you're not survivin'
My environment, don't expect you to be drivin' in


[Chorus: Trey Songz]
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life...
I'll be thuggin' till the day I die, this my life...

You ^!$$%s don't know me... you can't slow me down
You can't hold me... so imma keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' goin' on strong


[Verse 2: Obie Trice]
Mama worked 37 years at the plant
34 days she missed, that's where I get my grind at

Her little ^!$$%, see her as father figure
Even though she got hips and tender (*##$ up
Show me how to manuever snakes far as ^!$$%s

Eleanor Trice, one real sister
Raised the kids up to be go getters
Now a ^!$$% living room big as an ampatheater

Got the theater ^!$$% I'm from the hood
So at times I see the mirror and tell him he doin' good
Keep up my spirits cause ^!$$%s want him destroyed

But that's null and void when it comes to ya boy
I'm from Detroit, Shady employee
I'm on a voyage tryna get more than royalties

^!$$%s some royalty, that's why your (*##$es spoil me
O-T-R-I-C-E


[Chorus: Trey Songz]
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life...
I'll be thuggin' till the day I die, this my life...

You ^!$$%s don't know me... you can't slow me down
You can't hold me... so imma keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' goin' on strong


[Verse 3: Obie Trice]
I got visions of makin' executive decisions
But the system tells me to be realistic

You can't do %#@! with C's and D's
I can do the work I'm just interested in makin' cheese
So your schools can't control these G's

He got his own rules and do whatever he please
At ease to my soldiers that's feelin' Obie
Long as I know my 1, 2, 3's I'm flippin' OZ's

A ^!$$% can count like an accountant
Only difference is it ain't checks thatta be bouncin'
It's powder, peep what he's pronouncin'

Now he lives next to the teacher that denounced him
Doubted him, now look at the child's outcome
Deuce album got 'em speakin' highly in volume

I $$#ume I'm valuable, they throwin' in the towel
Bow whenever they see him rollin' at diablo


[Chorus: Trey Songz]
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life...
I'll be thuggin' till the day I die, this my life...

You ^!$$%s don't know me... you can't slow me down
You can't hold me... so imma keep rollin', rollin', rollin' goin' on strong
