Pagne

[Verse 1: Skitzomichigan]
It's hard when you all alone and you grow up on your own
You become the man of the house inside a single-parent home
I know a girl, she a Burger King manager
Her rent fifty dollars a month on Section 8, she drive a new Challenger
And she don't see no problem with it, she get child support
From three different niggas but they never come visit
She be messin' with the rose, she be lettin' niggas hit it
When she alone, she be cryin' but she never admit it
I just want to make a song that touch a motherfucker's soul
To let my people know we got a long way to go
Only lonely road we gotta watch the pit holes
And be a man of your word, never break or fold
It's a drive, don't know what key and I know it
People be havin' secret agendas but they never seem to show it
My music is different 'cause it got content
Here's a penny for your thought that go along with your common sense

[Chorus: Cali]
Fuck what they told us (Told us)
They cannot hold us (Hold us)
But the whole world against me (Against me)
They gonna see us shine
See me shine, see me shine
They gonna see us shine

[Verse 2: Skitzomichigan]
What you know about goin' to prison? Never gettin' a visit
Not havin' a female down with you to ride out the sentence
Now your phone privileges get suspended
And they don't understand how the system can slowly rip away your innocence
The plan, survive, do anything that you can
Credit card scams until the feds put you in the can
'Cause you addicted to the fast life
Until you look inside that rearview mirror and all you seein' was the flashin' lights
I should have took my grandmother's advice
She said watch the snake eyes when I'm rollin' the dice
All toes on the road, now I'm payin' the price
Chicken curry with the basmati rice, I'm livin' life
I can admit I had a hard head, I used to rock 360s but nowadays I got a bald head
A young nigga, skinny jeans, nappy dreads
Ridin' home from the feds, take care of his kids

[Chorus: Cali]
Fuck what they told us (Told us)
They cannot hold us (Hold us)
But the whole world against me (Against me)
They gonna see us shine
See me shine, see me shine
They gonna see us shine

[Verse 3: Cali & Skitzomichigan]
Cali, talk to 'em
I never wondered what I could be (Never once?)
Always just down with what I was (Oh, real)
Sometimes I really miss your front seat (You do huh?)
I was just tryin' to catch a buzz (Oh yeah)
Know it never matter what I am or what I ain't (What you doin'?)
Used to run the streets but now I sit at home in pain (Fuck yeah)
Ain't always been a blessing but I never been afraid (Yeah)
And they gon' mark my words with every fuckin' thing I say (Ayy)

[Chorus: Cali]
Fuck what they told us (Told us)
They cannot hold us (Hold us)
But the whole world against me (Against me)
They gonna see us shine
See me shine, see me shine
They gonna see us shine
