(Hook)
Always said one day man we'd be rich
Niggas looked at us and laughed
I told u the first grand I get we was gon split it in half
If this music shit don't pay the rent. I might go back to the Ave
Oso just might kop a brick, and his bitch might go back selling Ass
(Verse 1)
Lived on the eastside of Brooklyn
Where niggas get zipped up and bitches get tooken
Niggas is slanging and cameras is looking
Related, you banging. The casket or bookings
Crack bottles on the step, feel the floor board shaking, smell the loud in the air
Walk in to a bitch with the baggy in her left, breaking weed with her right, with her mama right there. Woo
You hanging you slanging
Get taken, no naming, no statement
Them apartments they vacant they vacant they vacant
The D's snapping pictures they taping they taping
Glory to God
Promise me tomorrow
I promise to stop selling work, put in work and get off my ass and work hard
(Hook)
Always said one day man we'd be rich
Niggas looked at us and laughed
I told u the first grand I get we was gon split it in half
If this music shit don't pay the rent. I might go back to the Ave
Oso just might kop a brick, and his bitch might go back selling Ass
(Verse 2)
You can smell the smoke from the hallway
I'm from where niggas gotta make it out the hard way
Dodging ducking calls, talk in code in the car cus if they ever pull us over it's gon be a fucking car chase
My homie caught a case for a burner
Beat the case then moved outta state for the summer
Moved weight, bought a house, then he gave up trapping
Went to law school, the nigga lived happily ever after uh
Gangstas don't rap boy. You'll never see a kingpin wit mic
Everybody wanna talk about the hood but ain't never been to the fucking hood in they life
Ain't no God in the trap nigga. The devil wear a cross
I'm from where you sin to survive, and drug dealers pray in the dark
(Hook)
Always said one day man we'd be rich
Niggas looked at us and laughed
I told u the first grand I get we was gon split it in half
If this music shit don't pay the rent. I might go back to the Ave
Oso just might kop a brick, and his bitch might go back selling Ass
