[T.I. - talking]

Ay I'm working here, know what I'm saying

Try to put yourself in my shoes for a second

Its not personal I'm just sayin though



[Verse 1]

Ay look

From when the moon came out 'till the sun came up

I was supplyin the days when where they flame up

Our mamas passing, by trying to explain us

Pissing in the bushes like they never house trained us

But, try to understand thats how we came up

You get to know us, you'll love us but you can't change us (naw)

Really we rather be rich and famous

But in the mean time were forced to slang dust

'Dro or crack cocaine, Penicillin to Rogaine

Ecstacy, Viagra, whatever'll get the dough mayne

Im tired of people mis-representing my dough mayne

Oh you think we out here killing for nothing, hustling

for no gain (picture that)



[Hook (sample playing in the background)]

Hey man I'm just doing my job

Hey lady, don't mind me I'm just doing my job

I don't wanna make your life more harder, I'm just doin my job

You live here, I work here I'm doing my job



[Verse 2]

I don't know if you don't know, don't care or can't see

Every time something up in the hood, it ain't me

And I ain't always up to no good and know the crease

And we ain't always gotta pass through the hood without speaking (how you doing)

We ain't out here threatining your lives, raping your children

We just out here staying alive, making a million (you know)

Working hard, trying to survive chasing a mill-ion

You hear us talking loud, just think of this is chamelion

React to the situations, but accusations is still

We vulgarizing you how...hey man you just hurting my feelings (maaan).

We got lives, we wanna live nice too

We got moms, dads, wives, kids just like you

But our options are few it hell in high school

When your helping with the rent lights and the gas bill too

So before you go judging us loving us won't hurt

Yeah under 25, staying alive is hard work



[Hook]



[Verse 3]

And for you to see what I'm saying, open eyes will help

If you could think about somebody besides yourself

Why you pointing fingers at me, analyze yourself

Quit all that chastising and try to provide some help

Instead of calling the law, you busting my balls

With all due respect, we don't even need to be fucking with y'all (maan)

And we can't help it cause it is like this

We don't like it no more than you that we live like this

Always stuck in the grind summertime to wintertime

Cutting school to sell fifty dimes by dinner time

See everything we know we learned from the streets

Since thirteen I've been hustling and earning my keep



[Hook]
