Master P, RBL Posse - Tryin' to Make a Dollar Out of 15 Cents lyrics

The ice cream man is coming!
The ice cream man is coming!

Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent

See it's a fucked up life that I'm livin' in
Hit that slang cola cause I
Didn't have no dividends
My baby mama stressin' she don't
Want me to slang dope
The ghetto's tryin' to kill me
Which way should I go? Now I'm on the corner
Takin' penitentiary chances
Even though there's marks on my
Turf that can't stand me
Think to myself, one, should I leave?
Two, say fuck em' and continue, hit my weed?
I guess I'm a G about
My scrilla cause they dashin'
Fools know that P is quick to
Put em' in the casket
The game got me stressin' but the
P ain't gon' stress out
Even though the task just
Raided a nigga's house
Took a loss in the game tryin' to bubble up
Find the P deep in the grind
Slangin' the dope fiend's double ups
And pretty soon I'll be back to a whole thang
And if I had to do it again
I'd probably do the same thang

Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?

Man it ain't nothin' but a thang
To let yo nuts hang
Cause in this game a million niggas
Striving for the same thang
I know it be like on, on my block
Niggas must be on the cell while
Another on the short stop
It won't stop and it won't quit
Tell me another quick way for a
Nigga to check a grip, shit
I'm kinda in a rush, it's kinda like a must
To get some 'In God We Trust'

Bein' broke sure ain't no joke
Cause I barely got enough money to
Buy me a whole loaf
And niggas be spendin' money like record
So I moved from Mike
Chester to Girbaud pocket, check it
'Cause unless a nigga's out
There singin' 'Shoop' or playin' hoops
He ain't gon' never see no
Signs of no quick loot
Dank costs ten and the drank costs five
So I gots to have more in my
Pocket than a nickel and a dime, bitch

Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent

Gold fronts in my mouth
Hella dope and got my bags tight
Bitches on my dick cause they know
The P rags are tight
But I ain't trippin' off no
Hoochies with no lil' skirt
I'd rather deal with them Turks
Puttin' in work they caught up in some dirt
Cause I'm the ice cream man
Droppin' off hella loads vanilla, stawberry
Cherry bitch I even got Rocky Road
Take yo pick
I know you dope fiends wanna lick
But that's gon' cost you twenty bones
Case you hoes want a hit
I love you, you love me
But this ice cream don't go for free
It's a ten, twenty, fifty
Hundred dollar sack a cone
And if you ain't spendin' bring
Yo broke ass home gold ones on my vehicle
Fools they can't see me though
Tens for twenty
(nigga that's plenty) meet me
At the liquor store
Fiends want credit but cha' know
I can't fade ya
And when you get yo' cash together
Call me on my pager
I'm stressin' off the game
I barely get sleep i just had to bury my
Little partner last week
In and out of alleys gettin'
Chased by the 5-0
I gotta get my hustle on, my way of survival
And if I get caught I got played
But I ain't goin' out without
Two stones to the head

How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
How come when I was broke
You wasn't brown nosin'?
Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent

I got candy the ice cream mayne
Holdin' them thangs in my hand
'Cause I'm the ice cream man

Tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
