8Ball, MJG - On the Outside Lookin' In lyrics
[8Ball, MJG - On the Outside Lookin' In lyrics]
The hammer hit the table leaving
Me with 7 years
My history was shit so I could'nt shed a tear
My future was a wall, surrounded by a cage
Them laws got me locked down
Damn at an early age the only thing I got is
A lust for the streets
The shit I gotta learn
And the shit I gotta teach
I'm living for the minute
Muthafuck a whole hour
And I ain't pickin shit up when
It falls in the shower
My lady sends me pictures with
Her pussy in the air
But she ain't really there
So I don't really care
The only thing I got is a muthafuckin dinner
So fuck what I had
Cuz where I'm at I'm a beginner
I gots to be a winner
In this muthafuckin mix up
Get my shit together
Scope it out and try to fix up
Some confidence to keep a
Real nigga going strong
The system is my house, the system is my home
The system was designed to keep
A brotha on his back
The system crackers caught me that's
Exactly where I'm at my lawyer was a snitch
Got me framed started buggin
My muthafuckin phone and the
Judge was his cousin
It's hard thinkin positive with
Negative around me so I had to relate to
The grounds that surrounded thee
House and The Mound where I chill
With the niggas who respected a real nigga
Cuz MJG respect them too
So I had to survive living my life
With the street rule "stay cool"
Disregard school and make my money fool
Check it
It's hard to understand where I'm comin from
If you on the outside talkin shit
Lookin in, then again if you was
On the inside lookin out, 9 times outta 10
You would probably be my friend
Nigga how you figure
The system's gonna help ya
The ghetto's where they put ya
The ghetto's where they kept ya
See deep down in my heart I
Had this urge to go astray
And knock out all my problems
In one ordinary day
The system got me thinkin cuz I'm
Locked down in a tank
They saw a brotha strokin
So they had to make his ship sank
So I can't get mixed up with
Them devils or no other
With Animosity I hate when It's a brother
None other than a buck, duck, hoodle up
Shootin up thangs in the wind
I'm in the Pen, you outside lookin in
Me with 7 years
My history was shit so I could'nt shed a tear
My future was a wall, surrounded by a cage
Them laws got me locked down
Damn at an early age the only thing I got is
A lust for the streets
The shit I gotta learn
And the shit I gotta teach
I'm living for the minute
Muthafuck a whole hour
And I ain't pickin shit up when
It falls in the shower
My lady sends me pictures with
Her pussy in the air
But she ain't really there
So I don't really care
The only thing I got is a muthafuckin dinner
So fuck what I had
