8Ball - Stripes lyrics
[8Ball - Stripes lyrics]
Yeah respect this
Look, I got my stripes up in this rap shit
My life is like a rollercoaster
Up and down quick
Cloudy grey days hide away the sun rays
My only escape is to kneel
And pray or smoke hay everyday
Thug livin', nigga
Ain't nobody promised tomorrow
Ain't no second chance to live
It ain't no time to borrow
Money in these streets
Trouble in these streets
I'm tryin to school these niggas
Deep within these beats
Life is for learnin, learn and live, nigga
What the world hold for me
And all my real niggas?
The studio is where we meet
Up like a holy church
Worshippin the spirit's of them niggas
Who done been here first
And give it all to them young
Niggas who come after us
And don't give nothin to them boys
That's out here fakin tough
Project livin ain't no fly shit
I don't wanna go back
And I pray for all my niggas
Who can't do better than that
I live it how it come to me, good or bad
I got to deal with it, this ain't no movie
See when the gunshot spray ain't no
Tellin if a stray gonna put one of my little
Bitty sons in his grave
My nigga in the hood used to
Kick shit and do his thang
Now that nigga in a wheelchair
Damn, ain't that fucked up, mane?
Maye it was somethin comin back
From somethin that he did
Maybe that was God's way of tellin
Him he need to quit i don't know
I know he think about
That shit everyday though
What he did to make his life
Go the way that it go
Every nigga can't be blingin
Navigatin' on doubs
How many niggas really got a
Lot of stacks put up?
How many niggas got five cars and no house?
Hustlin' like a slave tryin to
Shut your baby mama mouth
Long as you hustle ain't nothin impossible
My nigga then when you get it give it back
Cause you can't take it witcha
Yeah ah ha
Yeah eightball the Fat Mack
Fatboy eightball & MJG
Space Age Pimpin from way back, baby
You know what I'm sayin? Yeah
CEO on the streets commander in Chief, baby
You know what I'm talkin about
From Orange Mound streets all over the world
East coast, West coast, overseas
This pimpin just ain't a whole lot, baby
I got my stripes up in this rap shit yeah
Look, I got my stripes up in this rap shit
My life is like a rollercoaster
Up and down quick
Cloudy grey days hide away the sun rays
My only escape is to kneel
And pray or smoke hay everyday
Thug livin', nigga
Ain't nobody promised tomorrow
Ain't no second chance to live
It ain't no time to borrow

Trouble in these streets
