Life as a Shorty - Shyheim

Thug niggas bounce to this

Only thug niggas bounce to this

Word up

I wan’t no fruitcake ass?

niggas bouncing to this shit right here

Word up, strictly hardcore only, check it

Gunshots, they travel throughout my projects quickly

I stay thuggin', for pray the god that none hits me

Me and my peoples we swarm in packs

Some rap others sell crack, to get stacks of the green paper

We move makers, lex and landcruisers takers

Block vacators, thugs that run 5 acres of land

Flooded with dealers who kill for grams

It’s the street life, baby you wouldn’t understand nothing

Getting my hustle on, just 8 to 10

But here I go again, cause recreation programs

They makin' me no grands

So much stress on my mind I can just kill a man

I never knew my own dad when I was young he broke out

That’s when my mom got smoked out

And I took the street route, I hung around with real gangstas

Playas and hustlas, I guess they liked my style a lot

So they took a little nigga under the wing

Eventually I started slingin' white shit

No time for school cause the hours didn’t mix

So sleep late at night most nights I didn’t even sleep

That’s how I got caught up, and sold a dime to the beast

They offered me a 1 to 3, hahaa, I do a bullet

Traded in my gats for greens that’s how the state do it

I’m movin' ain’t no joking get your muthafuckin' dosage

So when you and the penal don’t be acting like no biaaatch

I’m seventeen now, and I’m off to parole

I see the?

a month, hopefully I be home

I’m kinda anxious, I haven’t seen my friends in a year

My moms OD and when I think about it every seals

But I’m a young man that gotta change his lifestyle

Get a job at compound, it ain’t easy as it sounds

I gotta have some fast money, flippin' burgers everyday

I been to?

house, I get a slinky day

Anybody in my way I’m blasting, fuck the peace

Cause there’s a war upon the streets

No south west or east, all my niggas in the struggle

Hold your head and get the CREAM

Big gunz money and pussy be the US ghetto dream
