Have you ever had the feeling That you was being had Don't that shit that make you mad They treat you like a slave With chains all on your soul And put whips up on your back They be lying through they teeth Hope you slip up off your path I don't switch up I just laugh Put my kicks up on they desk Unaffected by they threats Than get busy on they ass See that's how that Chi-Town made me That's how my daddy raised me That glittering may not be gold Don't let nobody play me If you are my homeboy You never have to pay me Go on and put your hands up When times are hard you stand up L-U-P the man, 'cause a brand that the fans trust So even if they ban us They'll never slow my plans up!
