[Verse 1]
I never know whether I'm livin fo tomorrow or dyin fo today

But either way I'm tryna move a hundred dymes in a day
They sat that crime don't pay, but I'm gone stay on the grind in the A
Wit the same ole j's

I know the lames gone say that I done changed no way
I'm in the gutta everyday tryna slang mo ya
In the middle of the trap, we hang the dro blaze

^!$$%z in the trap ain't changed in 4 dayz
Waitin on a page dat sayin the blow came
Instead of us just finding mo ways to get paid

Anyway, in the fire, I done been there homey
^!$$%z ball, ^!$$%z die and ain't %#@! fair homey
Dem crackers give ya some time and get to sit there homey

My ^!$$%z dyin, I'll see ya when I get there homey
Ay, Born alone, die alone in life
But right or wrong, folk it's on fo life

Just be betta than me

[Chorus]

Shawty, the streets ain't the place to be
I'm telling you cuz it's to late fo me
Ay be betta than me

Crackas love nuttin betta to see then young ^!$$%z wit a felony sheet
So be betta than me
I know ya mamma waitin faithfully on her baby to graduate ya see

You way betta than me
Betta than us, betta than this, take a chance ^!$$% change some %#@!
You could be betta than me


[Verse 2]
Ay, its rules in the game son, learn it young

When dez hatas speak yo name man burn dey tongue
Neva be ashamed of how ya live or where ya from
You stack a mill, ^!$$%z will see how far you come

Without a gun, you got somethin'll make 'em bar you son
That's a million dollar mind, why, dez ^!$$%z is dumb
Yea they gon get outta line, but dez ^!$$%z is scum

They outta sight and outta mind 'til you visit the slum, stay down
Stay on the grind and yo digits'll come, bottom line
You gotta shine no matta what you become

Dez streets is 40 percent of yo mind and 5 percent muscle
10 struggle, 10 time, and 35 percent hustle
And trust if dey don't burry the scared, dey burry the dead

When anticipatin pistol play, be very prepared
And if you ain't, find somewhere to burry yo head
Because them hot ones from the choppas tear ya body to shreds

I said

[Chorus]

Shawty, the streets ain't the place to be
I'm telling you cuz it's to late fo me
Ay be betta than me

Crackas love nuttin betta to see then young ^!$$%z wit a felony sheet
So be betta than me
I know ya mamma waitin faithfully on her baby to graduate ya see

You way betta than me
Betta than us, betta than this, take a chance ^!$$% change some %#@!
You could be betta than me


[Verse 3]
In a broke down Cadillac, ridin' high

Not many trusts in this life either shine or die
Ima live one of two ways, either grind or cry
And Ima grind it out, even if I'm dyin it out

Ain't got no mo than me, so what the $#&@ you lyin about
That man right there, but ain't gon be when dey start findin out
That that bull%#@! you be talkin ain't the real deal

That ain't you blow, them ain't yo cars so how you really live
See what you need to do is take a chilly-willy pill
Go and chill yo $$# out, fo dey deal yo $$# out
A bad hand from a mad man, in a mad clan
All dem otha ^!$$%z take a fall you gon take the last stand

Gnawed in, sawed in, how everybody ball
when everybody else is all in you don't know where to fall in?
Need some Flaw Henn, I'm telling you shawty
and don't be buyin none of dat bull%#@! sellin you shawty
And all that otha %#@! they talkin is irrelevant shawty

Tell 'em, show you the papa, fo dey show you the cable
You see a whole different ^!$$% when you open dem drables
follow hatas nuttin holy can saves us
Shawty be betta than me


[Chorus]
Shawty, the streets ain't the place to be
I'm telling you cuz it's to late fo me
Ay be betta than me
Crackas love nuttin betta to see then young ^!$$%z wit a felony sheet

So be betta than me
I know ya mamma waitin faithfully on her baby to graduate ya see
You way betta than me
Betta than us, betta than this, take a chance ^!$$% change some %#@!
You could be betta than me
