'Cuz I hate to spend My life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time (Lost soul) How it start? How it start? Started off with, runnin' from copses duck and hide from helicopters We open fire, who can stop us? Livin' the life of trife juveniles, hopin' for righteous Gettin' twenty-five to life, if the judge don't like us In my clearest pictures, I see authorities itchin' to get us ATF state feds scandalous bitches I wasn't promised to it, wasn't bitter or sweet See if a nigga don't hustle then the nigga don't eat Only streets livin', do or die, circle complete Repetitive motions and felons in the rush for cheese Please understand my history, a man of many acts Livin' thug life, comin' equipped, with many gats Maybe I was just a lost soul, trapped in time Livin' in between life, and the cracks were blind Even though we had hope for dreams that never came Yet and still we all feel pain Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time, stranded in the county in the worst way Hell of a way to spend my twenty-first birthday Born in the ghetto as a street thug It's for the neighborhood and weed spots that we love Lost souls Lost souls, nigga, for my homeboys that passed on Words from the mind of a lost soul Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time My brother Sean, first on my list, he stuck with a three-five When he get out would I be dead or alive He taught me the rules so much, but still in thugs I trust When in danger never hesitate to keep my fuckin' trap shut My mom dukes got a little bit of thug in her The devil loves sinners crackheads and drug dealer Sometimes I feel like the streets are takin' over Never stayin' sober, the brain over and over backtrack My stack's fat, I used to take new One love to my crew, aiyyo, this one's for you R.I.P., rest in peace to Moo Brown Know what we gotta do, baby, one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time One-time, one-time, one-time I was born twenty-two years ago, yesterday But see I saw no reason for me to celebrate, let me demonstrate Entered the world from out a poisonous womb Heroin bein' consumed, already predicitin' my doom Soon to be one of the many misguided Always the first one on the block to be done, tried it and liked it Lost before I had a chance to find my way Now I travel through life, not knowin' the time of day Crime for pay, I'm on my way, but don't know, where I'ma end up I swear to God, it's just a setup And these are the words from the mind of a lost soul (I'ma lost soul) Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time Just wait until rain turn to sunshine 'Cuz I hate to spend, my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time All of y'all, keepin' y'all in health To all of y'all, keepin' y'all in health Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself To all of y'all, keepin' y'all in health Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself For all my Doggz, keepin' y'all in health Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself For all my Doggz, keepin' y'all in health Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself For all my Doggz, keepin' y'all in health Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself Throw your hands up Throw your hands up Throw your hands up Throw your hands up
