Worldwide  nigga it's 1999
 Shit out of control  sign of the times
 I ain't had this much fun since '79
 I was only eight then  hadn't been to the penn
 Just a young nigga on the front of a swing
 Playin football up in Powly High
 Too young to ride but it's still Eastside
 Homocides didn't happen much  niggas wasn't rappin much
 It's 99 nigga  shit  I know you strappin up
 Hell motherfuckin yeah, nigga wanna see the end
 So next year we can do it all again
 Same dogg channel, same dogg time
 Only the strong will survive in 99
 So much drama and dillusion, my conclusion is confusing
 Drippin on my memories, twisted off my music
 Tryin to make my people do things, oh yeah we do's it, we do's it
 Here's my number baby girl don't you lose it
 It's smoky in this motherfucker while we cruising
 And Eastside niggas is the shadiest (shadiest)
 But them Westside niggas is the craziest (craziest)
 Summertime on the grind, baby let me shine, let me shine
 Roll with this shit, I'm cold with this shit in my prime
 Nigga done time and I never dropped a motherfucking dime
 Be smart, fresh start is all you need
 First thing first, cuz, stop smoking cess weed
 You are what you smoke, nigga stop hating
 That's why you broke and that's why we celebrating
 But life's so hard on a G, that's what they all say
 But somehow someway, better days ahead, Freddy's dead
 And Betty said Eddie's a fed
 Sweaty in bed with a nine to his head
 And he fuckin with this hoodrat that he met up in dance
 Betty gettin mad cause Eddie wanna share
 But look at how you livin for a minute then compare
 I love confetti, I always stay ready
 Keep some killers by my side and some riders by the telli
 I'm ready to do now, who now, you now
 Eddie wasn't ready when they drew that, booyow
 Two down, with just one gun
 My nigga, and who said killin wasn't no fun
 I sit alone in the zone with a face of stone
 Live the life of Al Capone or Don Coroleone
 Tragically casulties and fatalities
 And all kinds of funny ass niggas coming after me
 My grand pappy once sat me on his lap and he said
 Sonny get your money 'fore you end up dead
 I never really understood what he said
 Until my motherfucking dogg took a slug in his head
 Cold way nigga gotta learn his lesson
 Slow down and go down, shit you know now

 Be smart, fresh start is all you need
 First things first cuz, stop smokin cess weed
 You are what you smoke, my nigga stop hating
 That's why you broke and that's why we celebrating
 But life's so hard on a G, that's what they all say
 But somehow someway, you got to make a better way

 (Somehow someway)
 You got to make a better way
 (You got to make a better way)
 You got to make a better way
 (You got to make a better way)
 You got to make a better way
 (You got to make a better way)
 You got to make a better way
 (Yeah, better days ahead)
 Better days ahead
 (Better days ahead)
 Better days ahead

 That's real.
 I feel your pain nigga.
 I used to be just like you nigga.
 Before I got off in this rap shit.
 Shit, nigga did anything to get a dollar.
 You know, but one thing I never did do.
 I ain't never beg a nigga for nothing or ask a nigga for nothing.
 I went out and got my own ya feel me?
 So from me to you, man to man.
 Better days ahead my nigga.
 Shit, keep the faith and get your hustle on.
 Cause I'm a get mine regardless.
 Nigga wether I'm rapping or on the streets.
 I gotta have it
