We're in the time where many doors are too hard to enter in

And many people really ain't worth the mentionin

Thugsme hugsand plus a little gentle friend

Or the mentals if I wile I get antetion then

Do my drama from court to case

While others turn they back I turn my hate to faith

Thats why I'm herebut boo'sany place or date

If theres tear in my eyes you come to dry my face

Now thats deepy'all turned from my fans to my friends

After the pastI didnt think I could stand it again

On the streetsme and miny wonderin shall I kill

I do for allwhen will someone ask me how I feel? 

Ladiesif you're down and my pics on you're wall

Just pop in this song and wont let you fall

To all my ladiesgot ya letters and I love you to death

Now I appreciate the breath that the dear lord left



[naughty by nature] (coffee brown)

Why do I stand for my fam and put it down for my peeps? 

(ooooooooohhhhhhhhhI like it)

'cause they woulda done the same for me

Why do I see my women fallin down and put 'em back on they feet? 

'cause they woulda done the same for me

Why do I put it down for the streets and my r.i.p's? 

(ooooooooohhhhhhhhhand I like it)

'cause they woulda done the same for me

Why do I embrace the face that sets the mob free? 

'cause they woulda done the same for me



With the kindness of people and most don't even know

'cause this wilderness was'nt designed to see us grow

My thugs through the years who've always been true

Just know that I take the bullet for you

Life ain't livin without givinworth fryin for lyin

Ain't jack for freebut I'm supplyin if you're tryin

Have friends before the benzrespect before a lexus

Mama's(mama's) gave us lifebut brotha's have to protect us(protect us)

Some wonder why I still got love

Why I still live in the hoodand why I still share grub

Why I play with the kidslose money on clubs

To keep my people off the streets and away from the slugs

Sometimes rats run traps while our sista's get named

Sometimes bitches do thangsand our queens get blamed

But I'm puttin things on blast for my women and g's

'cause you woulda done the same for me

Where's my ladies who support and understand when

Yeah I'm tired but I still gotta visit the pen

I appreciate you love the love I show them

Woulda want the same thing if I had to go in

Lost the love of my life over stress and strife

If I couldn't care for meI couldn't care for a wife

So I looked at the lord and what he said was right

"theres obstacles but everything is gonna be alright"

If you feelin what I'm feelinlay back and give me love

So when you see me on the streets or clubs give me hug

To understand unityyou gotta understand we

You and iyou and themthem and mesee

Y'all did for menow I'll bow for the royalty

Just to know y'all is the love the loyalty

Behind every strong man theres a strong lady with 'em

Behind me I seem to have a whole nation of women



[naughty by nature] (coffee brown)

Why do I shout out all my women and adore my queens? 

(ooooooooohhhhhhhhhI like it)

'cause they woulda done the same for me

Why do I destroy anything that stops my teams dreams? 

'cause they woulda done the same for me

Why do I see my people is and tell 'em what I see to be? 

(ooooooooohhhhhhhhhand I like it)

'cause they woulda done the same for me

Why do I embrace the face that sets the mob free? 

'cause they woulda done the same for me



Coffee brown:

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhand I like it

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhand I like it
