Seen niggas lose lives over eightball money Seen crack babies grow up to serve they mommy Can't explain why we live with so much sorrow Guess the stories of today'll be a movie tomorrow Mama always said there'd be days like this Ain't got my own pot so in the alley I piss I'll risk my own life to be rich Workin' like a slave for them chains and whips I daydream around palm trees Blowin haze in the day summertime breeze But in reality I just blow my breath Let the Michigan cold numb my flesh I need a tissue cuz my nose is runnin' Faced harsh winters, locked hot summer Fuck the president and the next running None of them niggas gon' let me hold something Take one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets nowhere like that I take one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets through life like that I take one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets through life like that Take one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets nowhere like that At night I lay in bed and just pray I can sleep Think about my life with the TV on the blink Starin' at the ceiling, I just think Should I write my own will but I ran outta ink Ask God questions almost every day I almost get my answers a damn year later I rolled in (...) (...) Spit for crack babies Layin incubators This is for my niggas workin' nine to five They wanna beat they boss ass but they gotta survive For the ones who hussle, had to slow up Cause they wanna be around and see they kids grow up My boy got a chain for his thirteenth birthday Went to school, niggas jumped him the next day Truthfully, they took his honesty Cause now my nigga locked up for two armed robberies One step forward and two steps back Nobody gets through life like that I take one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets nowhere like that I take one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets through life like that I take one step forward and two steps back Nobody gets nowhere like that Yeah-yuh That's how it is sometimes you know Shout out to all my niggas with they dreams though man Don't give up You gotta keep movin' man All my detroit niggas, we fucked up We gon' make it outta this shit man
