I say the world keep turning
The clock keep ticking
So don't be wasting time

They said it wasn't gone
Happened for me over night
Best believe this gonna take some time

You just gotta stay down

Yea I know I gotta keep it correct

But I still get to seize the connect
You know I gotta stay down
Yea, I had to struggle just like you

I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you
That's why I gotta stay down


I see ^!$$%s got a hard on for me because my grind tight
Money right, I'm going all in shortly
Mi amigo down bottom, put the call in for me

No $#&@ing business, make sure it's all there for me
Yo watch the diamond, no offense
Yea the block been good to me

But running these streets, there's a lot that you regret
The innocent corrupted, the ^!$$%s you don't $#&@ with
%#@! I don't rap with all the ^!$$%s I grew up with

And that's over principle, yea that %#@!'s real
Gotta keep it pushin', no way I could sit still
Bricks to the boy and pounds to that sense a mill

Gotta kill him in the suburbs serving them ten appeal
Now I'm back with the summer's report
Everybody tryna make it but a few ^!$$%s coming up short

Yea, some different %#@! day after day
So I stay out the way
But I'm still gonna play how I play


I say the world keep turning
The clock keep ticking

So don't be wasting time
They said it wasn't gone
Happened for me over night

Best believe this gonna take some time
You just gotta stay down


Yea I know I gotta keep it correct
But I still get to seize the connect
You know I gotta stay down

Yea, I had to struggle just like you
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you
That's why I gotta stay down


The hood be sayin' they so proud of me
I'm proud, love my city, the haters' my only allergy

Man they just mad cuz the music takin' off
I'm worried 'bout the dottie and the Julie takin' off
All in the whip when the coupe be satin off

Make it easy for these ^!$$%s, the roof ? I take it off
One button, let them see what the guts be like
All the (*##$es looking at me like it must be nice

This %#@!'s workin', get your girl, your (*##$ flirtin'
I'm something like a pimp that got him on the strip workin'
Now I'm back, got the stomach for that

Just stay down like I'm supposed to, the money just stack
Where my ^!$$%s 'bout their business? Where the hustlers at?
Quackin' the jungle with gorillas, we'll be confortable there

Yea, time is money, it's a race against the clock
Some ^!$$%s die tryin', some make it to the top


I say the world keep turning
The clock keep ticking
So don't be wasting time

They said it wasn't gone
Happened for me over night
Best believe this gonna take some time

You just gotta stay down

Yea I know I gotta keep it correct

But I still get to seize the connect
You know I gotta stay down
Yea, I had to struggle just like you
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you
That's why I gotta stay down
