lyrics

Time and money tell me how you spend it
Everybody want it 'til they get it

Fast cars jewelry and the women
Want this life until we really live it

Most my people come up from the trenches
Never had much in they condition

You can't really blame us nah you can't really blame us nah

Look inside the mind of a menace
Wouldn't show love if this was tennis

Hate in his soul got him limping
Broken pockets grabbing ammunition

Hope the money erase all the pain
Upped his coins now his mood changed

Late nights swerving thru the lanes
In a bucket thinking of a Range

Ten toes gripping every block
Ten hoes working 'round the clock

Ten fold rising like a stock
Ten four hear it from the cops

Copy that cop another pack
Run it back to back to back to back to back

Same shit just a different day
Tryna get it each and every way

Time and money tell me how you spend it
Everybody want it 'til they get it

Fast cars jewelry and the women
Want this life until we really live it

Most my people come up from the trenches
Never had much in they condition

You can't really blame us nah you can't really blame us nah

Time and money tell me how you spend it
Everybody want it 'til they get it

Fast cars jewelry and the women
Want this life until we really live it

Most my people come up from the trenches
Never had much in they condition

You can't really blame us nah you can't really blame us nah

Look inside the mind of a artist
Thinking of a luxury apartment

Bullseye tryna hit the target
Life disconnected I can't call it

Wake up write another verse
Scratch then replace hope it work

Came up out the mud from the dirt
Everything I write is down to earth

Running this imaginary race
Remind me of my peoples down on Chase

Serving rocks tryna beat a case
I'm serving raps tryna be a great

Late nights grinding in the booth
Ain't have no money for the stu

Fuck it put the mic in my room
Mad villain motherfuckers doomed

Treat 'em like the food on my plate
Niggas threw dirt on my name

Cleaned it off ain't leave a stain
Cleaned it off ain't leave a stain

I take ya hip hop license
Just 'cause you gotta sixteen don't mean you can drive it

I'm 'bout to suit and tie it
Business professional

This is correctional sentencing
Call this shit your indictment

Lock you up bars holy struck with the touch Midas
And they side with a brother like Joseph Biden

Yeah they side with a brother

Dip and diving
See 'em scrutinizing

When I spit lines is sick get the flu if you try to bite it
In the booth I'm the truth they can never fight it

Talk in peace don't you speak you got laryngitis

Time and money tell me how you spend it
Everybody want it 'til they get it

Fast cars jewelry and the women
Want this life until we really live it

Most my people come up from the trenches
Never had much in they condition

You can't really blame us nah you can't really blame us nah

Time and money tell me how you spend it
Everybody want it 'til they get it

Fast cars jewelry and the women
Want this life until we really live it

Most my people come up from the trenches
Never had much in they condition

You can't really blame us nah you can't really blame us nah

Look inside the mind of a nigga
Society like to paint a picture

Reckless beings with no real ambition
Tryna keep my niggas at a distance

Same cycles hoping that it change
Rap sell packs who's the blame

Systemic racists or the game
Pipeline to prison or the fame

Growing up I saw both sides
Tell me how the truth coincide

It's mathematic how we all divide
Subtract us then they adding to they pie

American dreams turned into night terrors in the blink of an eye
Vision clouded tryna reach for the sky

Instead we landed in a pile of lies

Gimme space gotta levitate
Need a peace of mind need to meditate

Want a piece of mine I'm a set 'em straight
Elevate my mind need to medicate

Bodies dropping
When the pistols popping

Running out of options
Put 'em in a coffin

Been a pallbearer one too many times
So I write these lines just to keep from falling

Tell me who to blame
We can blame the game

We can blame the cops
We can blame the pain

Blame it on the block
Blame it on our age

Blame it on the rocks
Blame it on our race

But nothing happens when you placing the blame
The hardest truth is realizing that you gotta change

Nigga

Time and money tell me how you spend it
Everybody want it til they get it

Can you really blame us, can you really blame us
