Lyrics

[Intro: Stalley] Tin Lizzy Ford to a Rolls Royce boy A bumpy ride turned smooth In the fast lane we cruise We ghetto, this life we didn't choose From the get-go we never settled Why should you? [Verse: Stalley] I used to be influenced by a hustler with a chain Now I'm influenced by a man asking for some change I used to pray for riches, now all I want is change Like Obama man, I'm trying to do the right thing For my momma's sake She don't wanna see her son boxed and confined and chained My pops, he already did that man Filled with marijuana and cocaine veins Not a chip off my old man See these malt liqours (?) Man how can we escape this lane I'm telling my young folks sometimes that cool ish is really lame See I sat back and peeped game Twenty years and nothing changed I could have kept my diary blank and still maintained Cause its all the same Its a recurring stress, I tried the cess, I tried to rest I never fell so I'm next to sell I'm playing life 'til there's nothing left Its still hard even though I know the test As long as I give my all and put my best Everything else, is god blessed In life nothing's ever really hard pressed I really address for my niggas with fear bubbling in their chest We got it now let's Evreything's a reason to stop heron thinking Cause homies are leaving and families are grieving And I can't stop speaking about what I'm seeing I wanna pop bottles and throw money around for no apparent reason To express my wealth Cause I'm from the hood and I like to live good I just choose to speak and do well when its time to express myself When its time to express myself Express myself Express myself Express myself Express myself Express myself Express myself [Outro: (?)] You don't know What love is Ooh ooh ooh You don't know What love is Ooh ooh ooh
