The Cycle

Lyrics

(Verse 1) [Big Ice] When I was young I'd would close my eyes Used fantasize about a different life Momma job wasn't meeting ends We went hella nights without a single light It was days we were dead broke All really we had left was eggs and rice Never knew who our daddies was But all well, we'll be alright Momma had to find a way to get it So she hit the block started fuckin' niggas Late nights with ya momma gone Man that shit really start fuckin' with ya Momma hit lick Nigga doubled back Sent a bullet straight thru her dome Cop came n knocked on the door And said "Sorry kids but your mother's gone" I'm 17 and my brother 12 Ain't no fam around and we gotta eat So I'ma do what I gotta do I'ma boss up and I'ma hit these streets I'ma do all that he want And he knows that it come with a fee He just put a dub in my hand Then ask when's the next day I'm free? (Hook) (x2) [Big Ice] And I do it again And I do it again And I do it again And I do it again I don't need love I don't need friends Just tell me when I'll do it again (Verse 2) When I was young I would close my eyes Use to fantasize about different things Now I'm 20 & my brother grown Since momma died' shit ain't been the same Rents paid but our stomachs growl And my little brother tired of feeling pain Hit the block with some grams in his sock He done fell victim to the game He done fell victim to the gang Glock 40 with a stupid aim Popped a nigga and it hit his brain He ain't even really feel ashamed Putting bullets in his friends Putting bullets in his enemies Any thing for that bread Duck and dodging hella felonies Gotta get it by any means Cause ain't no morals when you starving Ain't no light up in the darkness Ain't no love when you heartless All well All well Gotta finish what you started And long as a nigga got money for me I'ma pop this pussy regardless Uh An I'll do it again
