[Intro: Rondoe]
Yea, turn the beat up (turn me up Big)
Yea, I just do me
I can only be me man, that's it
You feel me, that's all
Yeah
[Verse 1: Rondoe]
I was out here, when shit got hot
Was steady out there, trying to bleed the block
Trying to squeeze every penny out this motherfucker
The winter gone, here come another summer
They plotting on my downfall, so much hatred
They probably sitting around, hoping that I don't make it
I made a vow to myself, keep suckas from around me
For they have me eating noodlеs, stuck in the county
Shit I love my kids, and I know they lovе me
Just trying to teach 'em, nothing in the world come free
Shit I tried to change, I tried to leave the game
I can't stay away, the streets keep calling my name
My grandma used to stress, how these streets was no good
'Til I got older, I never understood
Too many niggas locked up, hella niggas in the dirt
You know you a legend when everybody rock your t-shirt
Life's a bitch, then nigga you die
I got people counting on me, I gotta survive
Some people spend they whole life, getting high
Some people work they whole life, and barley got by
Grandma stopped working, cause her feet start hurting
Steady trying to get me to come to Sunday service
Mama praying every night, she know I ain't living right
I wish I could tell her all the shit I did in my life
[Chorus: Lil Mo]
Life's been a long road, took a lot of wrong turns
Mama on my ass, screaming "One day you gonna learn"
Don't matter where you came from, it matter where you going
Said I'd never amount to shit, so I had to show 'em
And I'm knowing God saved me for a reason
And the streets raised a heathen
A demon, but what's the meaning
And I'm seasoned, day one, yea, I'm wit the shit
I learned the meaning of life, get chips
[Verse 2: Rondoe]
Man, I'm trying to tell you, this world hella crazy
Just wanna thank God, for all the times that He saved me
Trying to feed my fam, trying to raise my babies
You don't know shit about my life, or what I'm going through lately
Niggas better respect me, that's all I ask for
Cuz I'd hate to be lurking around in your backyard
I love money, fast cars, and fast women
And some niggas'll do anything to get it
And I know snakes, so I know how they move
Ain't nothing new, under this old moon
I gotta cousin, she used to be a fucking smoker
We treated her no different, we still loved her
But thumps up to her, because she clean now
She looking good, back doing her thing now
Shit I done think that I've seen it all
Knew the rules of the game, but still got involved
[Chorus: Lil Mo]
Life's been a long road, took a lot of wrong turns
Mama on my ass, screaming "One day you gonna learn"
Don't matter where you came from, it matter where you going
Said I'd never amount to shit, so I had to show 'em
And I'm knowing God saved me for a reason
And the streets raised a heathen
A demon, but what's the meaning
And I'm seasoned, day one, yea, I'm wit the shit
I learned the meaning of life, get chips
