and its never been cool

when these homies aint real

i know theres somethin i love 

about this life i live

but now its gone, it left me lonley

for what ever i did

and when things get rough

i know u got my back

the way u carry your self,

the way u know how to act

i said lucky for me, u fell in love with a "G"

i can't wait to get home, hope i see u soon

and everythings top doller

from the Lex to the juiced impalas

but i need a girl, not just to have, 

someone to change up my world

settle down and have kids,

even though my rep on the streets, is "Ima Pimp"

i need you not to trip

while i handle my biz

let me do what i do 

while i hustle and grind

let me dip stack my chips

and u can have the rest of my time

cuz the truth money dont bring happiness, forever

thats why i need u to come and make everything better

so baby get to know me, show me and hold me

be here for me girl, and never leave me lonely
