Same old shit dog, just a different day

(It is not a fucking game) You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

If it's fuck me nigga, you know it's fuck you

I kick it to shorty to try to help him understand

Hit him with work, 'cause yo, that's my little man

He asked a few questions 'bout the game and I told him

So when he made a bad move it was my place to scold him

Never told him nothin' wrong, kept it fair

Didn't listen, so I might as well have been talkin' to the air

Everybody makes mistakes, a mistake is aight

But if it ain't, I'ma tell you straight, time to say, "Goodnight"

Nobody likes to be played regardless of the relationship

But shorty's fuckin' up big time, I hate this shit

I'm caught in the middle of havin' love for a lil nigga

Knowin' what's expected of me as a real nigga

My next move is crucial, what do I do

How do I keep it real with shorty in my crew

Didn't want to kill him so instead of puttin' the Mac on him

I did the only thing I could do, turn my back on him

Here we go again

Same old shit dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggaz do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me nigga, then you know it's fuck you

Niggas that I fuck wit, wanna get him dead

But I'm cool with shorty's peoples, so I let him live

Under normal circumstances, he would be a marked man

But I hit him with a grand, just didn't shake his hand

Go about your business, do what you gonna do

Be what you gon' be, I wash my hands, I'm through

I can forgive, I just can't forget

You're on your own lil' man don't ask me for shit

If you paid attention to what I taught you then you good

If I see you again, get it, understood?

Go 'head before I change my mind 'cause you know you should be dead

I just wanted to say, "aight, go ahead!"

Instinct told me to kill him but the savior is

I'm a good nigga, plus I owed his peeps a favor

But I also knew the decision I just made

Went against the rules of the game that we played

Here we go again

Same old shit dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggaz do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me nigga, then you know it's fuck you

I should have followed my first instinct 'cause I knew

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

Now this nigga's fuckin' with the competition

Ungrateful motherfucker, shoulda got him missin'

This nigga got the nerve to take my kindness for a weakness

Gotsta get back on some street shit so I can creep this

Rat, when I act, take one, set him up, to take two

Get him there, take three, get him done

Wasn't hard for me to get him where I wanted him, confronted him

Bzt, click, there was a bullet in one of them

Feelin lucky, click looks like you are

Click, click, click, luck ain't goin' too far

What you did was put on another pair of shoes

And they just happened to be too big

What you did was stupid, real fuckin' stupid

Well shorty I gave you a chance and what did you do?

Threw it back in my fuckin' face so fuck you too

Here we go again

Same old shit dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me nigga, then you know it's fuck you

Here we go again

Same old shit dog, just a different day

Here we go again

You know how niggas do, when we play, how we play

Here we go again

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Here we go again

So if it's fuck me nigga, then you know it's fuck you
