[Lil' Flip]

Uh, take a look in my eyes, tell me what you see

A nigga who was young, grew up to be a G

I started off playin basketball for my coach

He started hatin so I took a differint approach

I'ma rap, fuck sweatin, and I'ma do somthin

(like what) that a nigga won't be regrettin

Could I ride? (no)

Could I steal? (no)

Could I jack? (no)

Should I kill? (no)

Nah, I gotta get my shit together

Cause a nigga need a house and big furniture with the leather

I pick up the pen, I pick up the pace

And I used to be broke I couldn't even pick up my face

And now, listen to the shit a nigga be doin

While you nigga's thinkin that a nigga's career be ruined

From smokin, and drinkin

Drinkin, and smokin

And I'ma try and go platinum while you thinkin and hopin

Wishin and lookin, trying to do what I do

And if ya fuck with me, ill shoot or ill sue

And how you wanna' handle business, I can get it like that

And sellin work on the block, I used to get it like that

But I had to back back, and open up my eyes

When you runnin in these streets, you might get a surprise

Your friend could be a foe, your girl could be a hoe

And everybody you think got your back, you don't know

Doop been here before a nigga got rich

So Doop right here when I ridin in my 6

My nigga Cease make beats for me everyday

And guess what he don't never ask to get payed

My nigga Red keep it real, Hump got my back

When I didn't have a car, Hump bought a Lac

Now Hump bought a Jag, and I'm in it

Runnin through these hoes but my name ain't Emitt

Uh



[Chorus: Lil' Flip]

It's a fact - everybody smiling ain't your friend

Everybody with a grin contemplating on you man

It's a fact - you reap what you sow, better watch what you do

Cause you'll do it to somebody that'll do it to  you

It's a fact - your best friend will turn his back on ya

Pull a gat on ya, even rat on ya

It's a fact - that most niggaz act like hoes

It's a fact - that most niggaz act like hoes



[Lil' Flip]

Now who can you trust, who can you depend on?

When you all broke need money to lend on

When you tryin'a ball and your money been gone

When you tryn'a put the down payment on 10 homes

Will your nigga ride for you? Will your nigga bust?

Will a nigga come and get your ass out them cuffs?

Will your nigga take you to the mall and buy some clothes?

Will your nigga ever put you first before them hoes?

Will your nigga buy you drank and smoke up the weed?

Ride for your ass when niggaz shootin down your street

Come to your funeral and tell a fuckin story

Think about them nuts that we took with no glory

That category, the list

The rappin the hoes, the hoes and the shows

It comes and it goes

De Da De Da De Da



[Flip talking]

Straight up nigga, that's how I feel

Know what I'm sayin'?

Everybody needs to be ballin nigga

If you got chain nigga, your nigga need to have a chain

If you gotta' cut nigga, your nigga need a cut

If you gotta' hundred in your pocket nigga

your nigga need at least have fifty, know what I'm sayin?

niggaz that get in the rap

forget about them niggaz who helped 'em nigga

Keep it real nigga

So that's why I don't wanna fuck with you new niggaz man

I ain't shootin marbles with you niggaz

But y'all cool



[Lil' Flip]

If it ain't Suckafree don't fuck wit me

Cause I know you got your eyes on my luxury

If you ain't Suckafree don't fuck with me

Cause I know you got your eyes on my luxury



[Chorus]
