Oh yeah, I got the perfect song

For the kids to sing





An' all my people that's drug dealin' just to get by

Stackin' money 'til it get sky high


We wasn't supposed to make it past 25


Joke's on you, we still alive

Throw your hands up in the sky an' say


?We don't care what people say?




If this is your first time hearin' this


You are about to experience somethin' so cold, man


We never had nothin' handed, took nothin' for granted

Took nothin' from no man, man, I'm my own man





But as a shorty, I looked up to the dope, man

Only adult man I knew that wasn't broke, man


Flickin' Starter coats, man, man, you don't know, man


We don't care what people say




This is for my ^!$$%s outside all winter


'Cause this summer they ain't finna' say

?Next summer I'm finna' sittin' in the hood


Like community colleges?


This dope money here is little Tre's scholarship




'Cause ain't no tuition for havin' no ambition


An' ain't no loans for sittin' your $$# at home

So we forced to sell crack, rap an' get a job


You gotta do somethin', man, your $$# is grown




Drug dealin' just to get by


Stackin' money 'til it get sky high


Kids, sing, kids, sing

We wasn't supposed to make it past 25


The joke's on you, we still alive


Throw your hands up in the sky an' say

We don't care what people say




The second verse is for my dawgs workin' 9 to 5


That still hustle 'cause a ^!$$% can't shine off $6.55

An' everybody sellin' makeup, Jacob's

An' bootlegged tapes just to get they cake up




We put %#@! on layaway, then come back


We claim other people kids on our income tax

We take that money, cop work, then push packs to get paid

An' we don't care what people say




Momma say she wanna move south

Scratchin' lottery tickets, eyes on a new house


'Round the same time, Doe ran up in dude house

Couldn't get a job, so since he couldn't get work

He figured he'd take work




The drug game, bulimic, it's hard to get weight

A ^!$$%'s money is homo, it's hard to get straight

But we gon' keep bakin' 'til the day we get cake


An' we don't care what people say



My ^!$$%s drug dealin' just to get by


Stackin' money 'til it get sky high

Kids, sing, kids, sing

We wasn't supposed to make it past 25

The joke's on you, we still alive


Throw your hands up in the sky an' say

We don't care what people say




You know the kids gon' act a fool

When you stop the programs for after school

An' they DCFS, some of 'em dyslexic

They favorite 50 Cent song, '12 questions'



We scream, rock, blows, weed, park, see now we smart

We ain't !@$!s, the way teachers starve

Hold up, hold fast, we make more cash

Now tell my momma I belong in that slow class



Bad enough we on welfare

They tryin' to put me on the school bus

With the space for the wheelchair

I'm tryin' to get the car with the chromie wheels here

They tryin' to cut our lights out like we don't live here



Look what was handed us, fathers abandoned us

When we get them hammers, go on call the ambulance

Sometimes I feel no one in this world understands us

But we don't care what people say



My ^!$$%s drug dealin' just to get by

Stackin' money 'til it get sky high

Kids, sing, kids, sing

We wasn't supposed to make it past 25

The joke's on you, we still alive

Throw your hands up in the sky an' say

We don't care what people say
