Say Mike Dean, dig these blues

I remember situations as an adolescent

I couldn't roll with the homies they'd rather see a

nigga steppin'.

was it 'cause I was a "school boy" tryin' to get my

grades together?

stayed on the same block but we never played together.

all of a sudden, why they wanna come and kick it with

Ro?

thinkin' they can get free cd's and free ticket's to

show's? no!

pay at the door or you stuck out

and if you get in, don't ask for nothin' or get

escorted the fuck out!

and say lil' mama I ain't tryin' to go to bed with ya.

you smokin' thinkin' I'm about to be breakin' bread

with ya.

keep my money in my pocket, never leave it with ho's.

put a ring on my own finger 'cause I sleep with zero.

I love my enemy's more than friends that's why I

treat'em so friendly

'cause they let you know they hate you, but a friend

hides his envy.

ain't no use in flaggin' me down while I'm out on a

creep

if I'm stoppin', my gun's cockin' you droppin'.

I live and die one deep!

I don't need no help, my nigga,I can do bad on my own

and I don't need no company lil' mama, stop ringing my

cellular phone

when I be down and out, nobody wanna come and kick it

I'm a nobody until I can shine.

so when the money is long, I don't need nobody to visit

leave me lonely like you did last time.

It's the same, every day. every day is the same

dealin' with fraud ass fellas I swear it ain't gonna

ever change.

even speakin' on the hood, nigga the hood ain't shit.

so when you see me I'm a speak, but that's as good as

it gets.

but ain't no ridin' with me, gettin' drunk, or gettin'

high with me.

ten out of ten I bet you would never ride and die with

me.

all my drugs are for personal use 'cause I be stressin'

bad.

poverty and pain is all I've ever had.

I remember I was down in the dumps no one lifted me up.

niggas said I would never make it in music 'cause i

wasn't gifted enough

so why the hell would I chill with y'all?

I'd rather deal with felony charges before I have to

deal with y'all

it's one cup, one sweet 'cause it's Z-ro only

forever lonely I don't need no phony homey's all up on

me

'cause when niggas get to trippin' with their and shit,

for me, I bet my homey's won't empty a clip.

I live and die one deep!

I don't need no help, my nigga,I can do bad on my own

and I don't need no company lil' mama, stop ringing my

cellular phone

when I be down and out, nobody wanna come and kick it

I'm a nobody until I can shine.

so when the money is long, I don't need nobody to visit

leave me lonely like you did last time.

It was hard to dream when I was hooked on codeine

killin' myself slowly on purpose 'cause humans made me

nervous.

and I knew I'd have to kill one, one day.

then how could I sit up in front of the Lord come

Sunday?

that's why I eat by myself and I sleep by myself.

I'm alone twenty-four seven I'm out here on my own.

plus I'm confident that I would never jack myself

for all I know, homicides are homey's watchin' as I

stack my wealth.

when I was trippin' with my steel pointed dead at my

grill,

all my "real niggas was laughin'". didn't try to tell

me to chill.

I ain't ever had a friend like Joseph

'cause he don't give a damn if I ever was on a poster.

a skinny ass never had a penny ass nigga, treated like

a food stamp

till I dropped a few jams now they diggin' a nigga

it's plain and simple to witness,

if it wasn't for rappin' who'd give a fuck about my

business?

let me live one deep!

I don't need no help, my nigga,I can do bad on my own

and I don't need no company lil' mama, stop ringing my

cellular phone

when I be down and out, nobody wanna come and kick it

I'm a nobody until I can shine.

so when the money is long, I don't need nobody to visit

leave me lonely like you did last time.
