Setback

Lyrics

Another shakedown, corner's crawling with cops Take your money and your work like it's some insider There ain't no steak now, lost your fork and your plate I had the bank roll slow but they confiscated The minor setback, but I'll be back in a week This money don't come easy, even harder to keep You got to calculate and come up with a plan My man'll front me what I need, I get him back when I can You know these bars were built way before my time Those artist iron bars with street signs and lines Got different neighborhoods with different rules to abide by Stay on the sidelines if you want to slide by Untouched by all the dirt and the grime Sooner or later you'll be knee deep, open your eyes And try and wade through, if I were a U.S. troop I'm dodging bullets like a matador's cape to the bull Another setback, I'm back on Griffin Street I've got some money in my sock, and I need some relief I cop a ten sack, but that ain't gettin' me far I put the hammer to the nail and the nail to my arm And now I's way slow, blow with the Chinese breeze That hit me like a ton of bricks and had me down on my knees And that's the last time I trade a dime for a dime Skipping stones, flippin' coins, out there grinding my time
