lyrics

Bridge:
Ashes to Ashes dust to dust
Spark up an L for breakfast and a blunt for lunch
Walk dragging my nuts/ pants sagging so what
Counting tax free cash still stacking up
4
Verse I:
Running these streets ain’t nothing for free
Somehow a 9 to 5 just wasn’t for me
If I planned to survive I needed something to eat
So I copped myself a hustle and I stuck with my peeps
Please! I ain’t breathing right cursed by sleepless nights
Grandma praying for me hoping I see the light
Knowledge is key strife that’s why I read and write
So all you non-descript PhD’s need a life
Wanting my noggin touched ‘cause your momma love
Was probably busy blessing me when you called her up
Rough I toss it up then I spark a Dutch
Inhale deep eyes blood never coughing up
Crept from bottom up/ Cheers! Bottoms up!
Until I’m outta luck (sheyiiiiit) the world’s not enough
Shy and Diggy Di on the rise bossing up
What! We gon’ keep it live ‘til our coffins shut
16
Verse II:
I flip digits/ done did it in one pivot
This slum living gotta go hard and come with it
Apes run districts dog/ we an army
Where I’m at you either pimp/ hustle hard or zombie
Some are all three walk around half dead
Other names get mentioned in past tense
If you got knocked bid and get home safe
It is what it is Mount Rizzy’s still home base
Without a trace I’ve been trapped in this winter cage
Instead of touring states live front and center stage
On an average day get down Cassius Clay
Knocking MC’s out… the old fashion way
They talk slick but get cautious on their way home
I’ll set up some shit you settle over pay phones
My home slang will rival your sense/ the target is set
You know you’re in some shit if I start talking in French! WHAT!!!
