Uh  yeah  yeah
 Shit is crazy  yo
 (I feel you though  nigga)
 Who woulda ever thought  same nigga's
 It'd be them same nigga's
 (You are the same nigga  though)
 Same nigga that couldn?t get the deal
 Now I?m the hottest nigga wit a deal
 (You ain't changed a bit)

 Yo  niggas never got nothin' good to say  quick to blame
 'Fore you judge me feel my pain
 You know it ain?t a vest in the world that could shield my reign
 You ain?t got money for the gas bitch, get out the range
 Got welcomed to the game wit' like 4 mil' and change
 Nigga's feelin' like I changed, but I?m feelin the same
 So who cares if they beg to differ
 When all them nigga's that beg to differ
 Is cokeheads and sniffers
 Take me for example, least I made it
 You think nigga's in the hood should appreciate it
 By time it's happy birthday its gon' be belated
 When you me, everything you do get exaggerated
 You miss a nigga pound they gon' say you flipped out
 Take a piss in the street they say you pulled your dick out
 As a youth it?s just a lot of shit I wanna live out
 Got alot of friends but only had a few when I was without
 Same niggas I was starvin', couldn?t get a crumb from
 Sometimes I think, where all these mother fuckers come from
 I needed money for school, couldn?t get no ones from
 Got jumped in the park and couldn?t get the guns from
 Instead of rollin' wit a clique, roll wit my sis
 Hell no, these motherfuckers can't hold my stick
 You think I care if they get mad? I don?t owe them shit
 Wanna hold sumthin' hold my dick, nigga

 1 - We might be from a different hood
 But we the same nigga's
 (That's just the way it is)
 Don?t be thinkin' shit all good
 It be them same nigga's
 Same nigga's get caught, blame niggas
 Same nigga's, go to court and name, nigga's
 (Some things will never change)

 It be them same nigga's
 Man, regardless how you feel
 (It's the way it is)
 It be the same motherfuckers that'll get you killed
 Them same nigga's, them same nigga's, them same nigga's
 Them same nigga's
 That?s why I don?t fuck wit niggas

 I got a brotha named Ant, right? Glad to be home
 Been through a lot of shit so I?m glad to be grown
 But yo', where were these freaks when I had no jeeps
 Livin on 34th street and we ain?t have no heat
 'Cross from P.S. 92, 7th and 8th
 Asked you for dough and you said "no" dead in my face
 But now that I?m on, it's like I owe everybody somethin'
 All my niggas dead so everybody frontin'
 Same kid's went to Catholic school is dealers
 And same nigga's had no heart is now killers
 Sometimes I reminisce on what I said in the mist
 But even when I dream, it wasn?t better than this
 But actually, the nigga's who would scrap for me
 Or go as far as getting guns and clap for me
 Ain?t even here to get a platinum plaque for me
 I talk to them but they don?t talk back to me
 I ain?t know you that long so ain?t much I can ask of you
 And when I reminisce I can?t take it back wit' you
 I can?t ask "Yo' what happen to my nigga Black or Q?"
 So I don?t really need to rap wit you, ya know?

 Repeat 1

 Yo', I figured if we All Out, it's all right
 As long as when we all brawl we all fight
 I'm under nigga's hoses like roses
 Here I am, M A dolla-sign E nigga, fear no man
 Nigga hit me in the mouth and we bound to fight
 Just call my bluff and it be on tonight
 I got words of a madman tatooed on my arm
 Ain't fuckin wit my sister cuz I?m mad at my mom
 Blink sayin', "That ain?t you wit a gat in your palm"
 But Blink, it's either that or be harmed
 So the doctor give me pills for the wound, stitch my flesh
 Give a nigga last wish so he could pick his death
 So my sister wanna rap and I wish her the best
 But I would never wanna wish her my stress
 Cause it's like when I hurt, y?all laugh
 They put me on every forecast sayin' that I bought ass
 So I drink a tall glass before I spaz
 Then I take it like a man and let it all pass
 I wanted big bucks, no whammys, understand me
 I show nigga's love and nigga's underhand me
 Then they wonder why I want no family
 What I need a hooker for, gettin' head from
 And I fear when New Year's come, cuz it might be the year
 A good nigga die cuz when you good life ain?t fair
 Like you call on the saints but the saints don?t hear
 You could cry to the Lord, its like Christ don?t hear
 So instead of hood winking I give you the plain facts
 If I never change, how I?m gon' change back, explain that
 They sayin' Mase ain?t the same cat
 But every time you get robbed I get ya chain back
 Them same nigga's
 Them same nigga's
 Them same nigga's
 Them same nigga's
 That?s why I don?t fuck wit niggas

 It's crazy like that, you know what I'm saying?
 You'll be tellin' a nigga you got a deal
 He think that that shit come with Rollies
 And they come wit' Benz's
 Come with Bentleys and houses and shit
 They don't need no one to work, a nigga quitin'

 Repeat 1 until fade
