VERSE 1: 
I been broke 
Then I got money 
Went back broke 
Got more money 
Ended up broke again 
Went back to the money 
I know how to hustle can't take that from me 
I learned how to stack when I had them children 
When kids don't eat I know the feeling 
My mama had 3 in a small apartment building 
Some days we had meals, some days we didn't 
Some days we had to heat the house with oven 
Boiled the water on the stove, threw it in the tub and 
Washed up and went half clean out in public 
I didn't feel disgusting, a nigga felt disgusted 
I did my studies in the streets, money was the subject 
I learned how to get it, not keep it 
No budget 
I met plenty niggas in the streets like me 
Who don't grind to be free but grind for Nikes 
Despite all the errors, niggas straight terrors 
We come from the harshest situations in the area 
We the modern day savages of this era 
And just cause you rich a nigga won't spare ya 
That check don't mean shit to us but a come up 
It won't get you rank or stripes here brother 
It won't give you passes to parlay in the gutta 
But it might get u something like a kidnapped mother 
Really do you want it 
Do you wanna post up on our corner 
Just to feel gangster for a moment 
Really do you want it 
See street life and clone it 
Your body discovered in the morning 

HOOK: 
I come from a place where money won't take ya 
I was raised on the streets where money don't make ya 
And if you got dat money these niggas go mayhem 
You a silly motherfucker think that money gonna save ya 

Fuck you thought 
What the fuck you thought 
Fuck you thought 
What the fuck you thought 
I was raised on the streets where money don't make ya 
You a silly motherfucker think that money gonna save ya 

VERSE 2: 
Why niggas who ain't never been here wanna claim here 
Shit I'm trying to leave who the fuck wanna stay here 
Shoutout Ms. Gwen she still the candy lady 
R.I.P uncle Sonny real name David 
My mom found him dead right down the street from Grady 
All he wanted was bad bitches and to see me make it 
He said get that money and stick to the basics 
He came along way from smoking dope and getting wasted 
He died by his self, why the Lord had to take him 
I seen the fuck boy who tried to murder me but he got popped and locked up, why the Lord had to save him 
I still have dreams from that day on the pavement 
And no amount of money I get gonna change it 
But niggas wanna change when money get involved 
Used to be a good guy now they're breaking laws 
Used to be a college kid now they're trap gods 
Really do you want it 
Do you wanna post up on our corner 
Just to feel gangster for a moment 
Really do you want it 
See street life and clone it 
Your body discovered in the morning

Fuck you thought 
What the fuck you thought 
Fuck you thought 
What the fuck you thought

VERSE 3: 
This life might seem cool looking from the outside 
Until you see your best friend dead with his eyes wide 
R.I.P Heavy I'll see you when I'm ready 
Why they killed my dog for that little bitty fetti 
They murked him over 700 dollars that's petty 
But lames come thru here with fist full of bands 
They get hit wit that 40 and shit in their pants 
Then folks wanna say they got killed by some haters 
But what you expect when you bring a duck round all these hungry ass gators 
Niggas out here killing niggas just so they can't eat 
Bitches out here selling pussy for a place to sleep 
They do it just to live but you do it for a tweet 
You think this shit sweet 
Really do you want it 
Do you wana post up on our corner 
Just to feel gangsta for a moment 
Really do you want it 
See street life and clone it 
Your body discovered in the morning
