Ay Im working here, know what Im saying
Try to put yourself in my shoes for a second
Its not personal Im just sayin though
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, youll love us but you cant 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, whateverll 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)
Hey man Im just doing my job
Hey lady, dont mind me Im just doing my job
I dont wanna make your life more harder, Im just doin my job
You live here, I work here Im doing my job
I dont know if you dont know, dont care or cant see
Every time something up in the hood, it aint me
And I aint always up to no good and know the crease
And we aint always gotta pass through the hood without speaking (how you doing)
We aint 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 wont hurt
Yeah under 25, staying alive is hard work
And for you to see what Im 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 dont even need to be fucking with yall (maan)
And we cant help it cause it is like this
We dont 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 Ive been hustling and earning my keep
