Just sit back you know what I'm saying man
Slow it real, way back in the motherfucking cut man
Feeling like shit, you know like what, come on man
Street lights are glowing everyday's another struggle
I'm moving slowly inside I'm steady making sure my hustle is air tight
These city streets is hectic gotta get it
Hear tomorrow ain't a promise to me so I don't live in fear
Work until I touch it, stack it until I need it
I spend it on what I want, re-up and that's when I bleed it
The soldier could never see me as being something that's lesser
A nigga straight out the gutter, murdered without a question
Product of my surroundings, clickin' clackin' and downin'
All they know is he missing but niggas ain't never found him
I'm sorry but it's killing me, I don't live with no regrets
I'm a motherfucking killer for real but this ain't a threat
I'm as gangsta as it gets and my advice to you is live your life
You never know when niggas might hit you under city lights
I'm as gangsta as it gets and my advice to you is live your life
You never know when niggas might hit you under city lights
I'm as gangsta as it gets and my advice to you is live your life
You never know when niggas might hit you under city lights
So get it right, you never know when
Niggas might hit you under city lights
So get it right
Lord forgive me cause I know I ain't living right
Still I gotta make something happen under them street lights
But pay attention let me show you what my life like
You can get your days cut short under them street lights
Folks got me under the scope cause I ain't living right
Still I ain't the one to provoke I hope you get it in 20-20
Gettin' soups when I cruise under them city lights
Careful with the road I choose you lose your life
I'm praying and hoping I never get caught in the moment
Shot from a Glock that's smoking if I'm not scoping
When a nigga told me you don't work your weed
So I'm slanging dank for cheap where the street lights meet
In my five was a rolling stone, fifteen I was grown
Sixteen I was holding my own
Is it wrong to say you dream or say you zone
A long way from home on this road I roam
Still I ain't pouring the liquor for niggas who ain't with us
Everybody ain't a gangsta, every gangster ain't a killer
Naw, but them laws couldn't tell you the difference
So pay attention or find yourself locked in prison
Lord forgive me cause I know I ain't living right
Still I gotta make something happen under them street lights
But pay attention let me show you what my life like
You can get your days cut short under them street lights
Lord forgive me cause I know I ain't living right
Still I gotta make something happen under them street lights
But pay attention let me show you what my life like
You can get your days cut short under them street lights
Years of passing shit in the hood getting drastic
Two days ago my homegirl got twisted
This shit is tragic, happened right on my block
I'm feeling paranoid laws might run in my spot
Slipping living low key and them folks don't know me
Slowly I ride through the city, smokin'
Then I slide out to the hideout and smoke on
Haters watching my chest is froze like a snow cone
But hold on, trash talking ain't my game
Rather pimp me a dame or switch lanes in the Range
Peep this it ain't a secret them laws ain't right
They like to catch you late night living the life
That's why I'm on top of my game always thinking twice
Don't get it twisted I still got a mean right
But most of the time my nigga I'm on chill
It's real in the field, it's easy to get killed
Lord forgive me cause I know I ain't living right
Still I gotta make something happen under them street lights
But pay attention let me show you what my life like
You can get your days cut short under them street lights
Lord forgive me cause I know I ain't living right
Still I gotta make something happen under them street lights
But pay attention let me show you what my life like
You can get your days cut short under them street lights
