Ft. Trouble & Lil' Keke

[Chorus: Z-Ro]

Time ta let tha truth be tooooold
It ain't no brighta dayyyyyyz
Cuz when it all unfoooolds

A ^!$$% gon' juss pass awaaaaaaay
Theze haytaz tryna stop my griiiiind
But I bet them hoes can't block my shiiiiine

So tired of takin losses, not this time
I can't save tha whole world i'm juss tryna look out for miinee


[Verse 1: Z-Ro]
Aye, i've been gettin alot of exposure lately on ^!$$%z songs and in they videos
Cuz they know i'm an O.G. not an original gangster but an orginized general

They see me pullin up in my 300 bangin, gators on my feet and jewelry danglin
Everybody love tha way i look on tha ouside, but inside i be painin
Iz it every gunna stop rainin ? Nuthin but thunderstorm clouds over above me

%#@! i used ta break my back ta make sure my ^!$$%z was straight but they still don't love me
Thatz why itz no moe pain on my lower arm and 1 deep tatted on my other arm
If you see me lookin in ya'll direction i'm not about ta speak finna dew you mutha $#&@az harm

Got 17 albums and they all sellin, so tell me why da $#&@ my pockets ain't swellin
I ain't neva did nuttin ta nobody dat didn't have it comin ta em (*##$ i'm a fellon
Felt like i was failin, God tell me when i'm gon' win

you know when i'm blessed you know when i'm gon' sin
You were there at tha begginin of my days, i'm juss hopin I see you after all my days end
And i don't give a damm what theze people say, half tha people in tha church got evil ways

I was juss lookin ta make a lil skrilla, but it turned a lil christian into a lil killa
From label ta label, and gun ta rifle, itz a forward march, ain't no time ta retreat
If you able ta save a nation go head, but i'm strugglin ta get myself sumthin ta eat


[Chorus: Z- Ro]
Time ta let tha truth be tooooold

It ain't no brighta dayyyyyyz
Cuz when it all unfoooolds
A ^!$$% gon' juss pass awaaaaaaay

Theze haytaz tryna stop my griiiiind
But i bet them hoes can't block my shiiiiine
So tired of takin losses, not this time

I can't save tha whole world i'm juss tryna look out for mine

[Verse 2: Trouble]

get da people a song ta sing
fill dey pockets with profit that tha streetz gave
educated by da mistakes that tha weak made

opportunity present, most don't take it
seein sight of heaven, but most won't make it
and yet we ask what we can strength tha love someone else

when we have yet ta gain since enough ta love, i'll say itz strapped by da money
it's funny, how we ain't felt tha tender touch in a second
hell'll make it here, we should pray dat therez no ghetto in heaven

know who want price we pay for peace of mind
know you control alot of things, but don't control time
full of potential, streetz'll neva take tha steps ta notice

good die, youngin don't eva get tha chance ta show it
pour out sum liquor fa my ^!$$%z not alive
and see, fortin ta fight, but wasn't strong enuff

rest in peace with every breath i breathe
here in tha gutta with tha snakes and theives
we thug livin till itz time ta leave, my goal


[Chorus: Z-Ro]
Time ta let tha truth be tooooold

It ain't no brighta dayyyyyyz
Cuz when it all unfoooolds
A ^!$$% gon' juss pass awaaaaaaay

Theze haytaz tryna stop my griiiiind
But i bet them hoes can't block my shiiiiine
So tired of takin losses, not this time

I can't save tha whole world i'm juss tryna look out for mine

[Verse 3: Lil' Keke]

Yup, yup, no moe strugglin backwards hustlin dis iz my year
I've been in da game since '95, (*##$ i'm still here
I hear that background, that side talk and cheap bumpin

If you don't like who i signed with then give me sumthin (Swisha House ^!$$%)
Juss 6 months ago they said Da Don was all ova
But i juss tightened my flow, built tha buzz and came colda
I touch them street G'z, them go gettas and crack stars
Ya 6 feet deep or somewhere sleep behind them iron bars

Cuz I done knocked off plenty cars and, off plenty hoes
Done pulled up plenty shows, candy paint and glass vogues
Look at em whisperin like some hoes on tha sideline
They 2nd stringin cheerleadin while i'm gettin mine
I know i've been down, can't wait till da next round

Tommorow's tommorow, but today ^!$$% iz right now
Itz Ke and Ro and fa sho thatz a gangsta hit
Get up out our life hoe, get up off our dick trick

[Chorus: Z-Ro]

Time ta let tha truth be tooooold
It ain't no brighta dayyyyyyz
Cuz when it all unfoooolds
A ^!$$% gon' juss pass awaaaaaaay
Theze haytaz tryna stop my griiiiind

But I bet them hoes can't block my shiiiiine
So tired of takin losses, not this time
I can't save tha whole world i'm juss tryna look out for mine
