Layzie Bone, Young Noble - What the Problem Is lyrics

Good lookin on a light nigga, yeah
Big Hollis this that shit right there man
Nigga need to smoke one
In this muh'fucker man check it out

5 in the mornin police at my do'
(police at my do')
Timberlands run across the hall wood flo'
Dipped inside the alley, to make my escape
Didn't even get a chance to grab my 2Pac tape
There's always somethin in the city of dreams
Young hustlers said bust it
Just as hungry as me
Got some niggas out in Jersey, lovin the bang
And my niggas out in LA
They love the same thang
Cleveland to Atlanta, Sacramento to A Town
We all outlaws and the
Streets is our playground
Bang on the waistline
Hang just to waste time
Money I'ma make mine, respect I'ma take mine
Can't take nothin from me so they
Wanna take somethin from me
Either my life or my money
Or one of the homies
Ain't nothin funny 'bout death
There's so sequel a cold cold world
With a few good people left

I wake up early in the mornin
Every day I'm thinkin hustle
But that's not what on your mind
- what's the problem is?
Walk out the do' go to the sto'
I see two niggas finna fight
And now I'm thinkin to myself
- what the problem is?
We tryna come up out the gutter
They keep holdin us down
And the question still remain -
What the problem is?
Is it me? Is it you? Is it us, as a group?
If it is
Then help me figure out the problem then

It's a little bit safer during the day
When the kids is out to play
When them street lights come on
They better be takin they ass home
We do our dirt up under the
Sunlight but the moonlight is dimmer
January down to December
Through the spring fall and winter
You learn to survive, in the ghetto
Better break than get took
Sellin that yayo on the corner nigga
Better break or get booked
Look, po-po is on that ass
And them jackals is on that ass
Them crackheads they make the laws
But, it's the niggas you got to blast
They so cutthroat, they sheisty!
One-eighty-seven the lesson
The niggas that's frontin they might be
The only way a nigga make it
Out the ghetto and that's real
Combat on contact
Nigga kill or be killed - swear fo' God
Thug life is serious
My heart is near and dear to this
So many pause to understand this
I wanna smoke the cannibus
I can't forget the hood
They represent my struggle right
Money, women, power
Respect that's just a soldier's life

I wake up early in the mornin
Every day I'm thinkin hustle
But that's not what on your mind
- what's the problem is?
Walk out the do' go to the sto'
I see two niggas finna fight
And now I'm thinkin to myself
- what the problem is?
We tryna come up out the gutter
They keep holdin us down
And the question still remain -
What the problem is?
Is it me? Is it you? Is it us, as a group?
If it is
Then help me figure out the problem then

Cigarettes, and this drank, and this dank
They keep my mind at ease
- what the problem is?
So I smoke, and I choke, on the hopes
To keep my mind at ease
- what the problem is?

Cigarettes, and this drank, and this dank
They keep my mind at ease
- what the problem is?
So I smoke, and I choke, on the hopes
To keep my mind at ease
- what the problem is?

Get that money, what's the problem?
(Get that money, get that money)

Yeah we ridin Caddy coupes
Stankin like it's Mercedes Benz
Malibu's and heavy Chevy's every day
I'm stackin ends
Some niggas turn crumbs to bricks while
Other niggas they fumble wit it
Make it out, start a business
While other niggas they crumble wit it
Need work? Well come and get it
Best believe that I got mine
I'ma represent for the OG's and
The hustlers that got time
City sets to the penitentiary
From one jungle to the next jungle
The lab breed beast
And I'm always ready to rumble!

I wake up early in the mornin
Every day I'm thinkin hustle
But that's not what on your mind
- what's the problem is?
Walk out the do' go to the sto'
I see two niggas finna fight
And now I'm thinkin to myself
- what the problem is?
We tryna come up out the gutter
They keep holdin us down
And the question still remain -
What the problem is?
Is it me? Is it you? Is it us, as a group?
If it is
Then help me figure out the problem then

Cigarettes, and this drank, and this dank
They keep my mind at ease
- what the problem is?
So I smoke, and I choke, on the hopes
To keep my mind at ease
- what the problem is?
