Give And Take

Hey yo, turn the headphones up a lil' bit

Alright, yea alright, umm, umm, yo yo

Yo, yo, yo, yo ,yo

Yo, ain't no mistakes, they say give and take

And if you know like I know, you gotta live the breaks

Numbing all the dope infested

Unprotected ghetto life style with killer crime records

I make it a point to understand this ain't wonderland

It's either kill or be killed, law of the land

Just to see that my mind expand rapidly

I can't lose sleep, I stay on my feet and flip enough to eat yo

Ain't nothing sweet when milk money ain't enough to feed the tummy

We mummified in this land of milk and honey

Home of the never free, become ghetto celebrities

Living in jeopardy, playing around where some will never be

Take it in stride, that's how we ride through the streets where I'm from

Trying to get some, hoping for the big one seven figures and them some

Make it and spend some, hustling with the man steady taking your income

Ya heard me?

hook

See you win some, you lose some

And then you spend some on em' when you choose em'

See it's a cold world, and it's a cold game

But if you learn to give and take it ain't no thang (2x)

Nigga break bread with me, stay ahead with me

And if your loyal then you know your gonna fare it with me, say it with me

And play it with me rugged raw style

Respect my mind, I'm looking nothing like your product child

You know I let the beats bang and slowly do my thang

If you can't hang then say you can't hang nigga

What I deliver will give em' shivvers in the night time

And I ain't trippin' I just write rhymes about my lifetime

How I stand secure when the pressure endure

While the rest fall off they ain't sure

To mimick my methods I won't except it if the truth ain't true

I watch em' die in disguise wicked as voodoo

Niggas holler who, what, where, and when you want to try

Know your dealing with a hustler living it do or die

Don't ask why, my nigga this just fate

In this life we life, you gotta give and take, that's how it operates

I'm looking for a ONE-TIME in the summer in the city

Where the girls look good, but they attitudes shitty

With a fifty sack of sticky bailing up G Street

Through the corner projects hauling my heat

I heard they took my partner out the game last week

We come from the same streets now they trying to blast me

More money more murder, I'm cold-blooded and these hoes love it

But that's the quickest downfall and I'm for sho' you know

It's like time keep on slippin' and niggas keep trippin'

So I keep a nine with the clip in

Holstered up hot and heated

You can thank it's a game but come and see it to believe it

You ain't know, I'm representin' out that dirty-dirt

Southside nigga living untrustworthy

You heard me, where word be wicked and rotten

See a gun and nigga fuck what you saw

You know, for sho'
