[Fabolous]
I'm old enough to know better, young enough to not give a f-ck
Rather hold my head high then live and duck

If you're cool being taken down and giving up
Your lifestyle's a !@*!, the way you're living sucks!
I done felt pain, waited but no help came

Went through some crazy %#@! still kept myself sane
You ever been dying of thirst and smelt rain
Ever been told ?go to hell? and felt flames

The water's to your neck and only gets deeper
Its all down hill and it only gets steeper
Gotta get over it, be a hurdle leaper

It cost to be the boss, it aint get no cheaper
But there's a man above that we all under bro
No bread truck but he work wonders though!

After you wake up, everything is wonderful
You can overcome anything you undergo
As an artist I'm just tryna paint the perfect picture

But see where tryna wait for somebody thats perfect gets you
That usually lead to nothing like virgin kisses
And I be tryna cut, surgeon (*##$es

Dreams of splurging riches, pretty but curvy misses
Chef to serve the dishes, driving to swerve the ditches
I'm just another kid on the curb of wishes

And the streets is tough, on the verge of viscious
So I sold weed and crack, business
That white girl helped a ^!$$%, Fergalicious

But getting money bring jealousy and verbal disses
So when you killin' %#@! watch out for the murder witness
An old head told me, let nothing disturb your business

Beef is only good when you in the burger business
So I chilled, but loaded up the steal
Like I wish a ^!$$% would, But I know a ^!$$% will

But for real you loaded up to kill
Cause soon as a ^!$$% could the sooner a ^!$$% will
And I don't owe these ^!$$%s nothing

Put that in a ^!$$% will
