[Scarface]
You win some you lose some, life in a nutshell
Free all my niggaz on lockdown, fuck jail
I seen enough of hell, to never wanna live there
Tattooed tear drops, sitting in a wheel chair
Kids on the streets doing bad, mama moved out
Dope man pushing on the corner, where the school house sits
This is bullshit, this can't be life
I can't blame it on the hood, cause it gave me life
This a stick up, don't turn it to a 1-8-7
I don't go to church, so I'm far from a reverend
Ain't nothing like a young nigga, armed with an AK
Walking up the sidewalk, shooting in the broad day
Fuck what a broad say, I'm all day villain
I'm getting money, so I'm always chilling
And even though they say, I'm killing all they children
I'm just a nigga hustling, for my millions

[Chorus: Papa Reu]
I stay rooted, I stay rooted
I and I stay rooted, crooked officer crooked officer
I stay rooted, blooow
I and I stay rooted

[Scarface]
Now if I had to play check, I'd be leaving you bad news
Everybody in here, be bound and gagged too
I'm posted at your crib, nigga hurry your ass home
You was out here high capping, now all of your stash gone
The money met the work, and that's a real life no-no
It don't take a bunch of niggaz, just me solo
I go for do-lo, I can't tell on myself
Immature ass niggaz, get you sentenced to death
Loud talking in the tank, like he a stone cold killa
And you fighting a murder charge, my nigga
The moral of the story, is keeping your mouth shut
Cause everybody's listening, speak and you fucked up
I tell ya, like them old cats say
Get what you get, and get your ass out the way
Cause greed'll get you thirty five tight
You 27, that's the rest of your fucking life

[Chorus]
I stay rooted, I stay rooted
I and I stay rooted, crooked officer crooked officer
I stay rooted, blooow
I and I stay rooted, it's in my DNA my blood type G
My roots is deep, off in these motherfucking streets

[Scarface]
Real recognize what's real, the bullshit see through
The way I spit it, ain't another one that's equal
This for my people in the game, ten toes
Rooted in the streets, and withholding info
We got secrets, we gon' take to the grave
We don't honor nothing else, except the rules to get paid
Ain't no wonder why you motherfucker, hustling dope
Everything we do illegal, eagle leaving us broke
What I hope is that a nigga, don't forget where he from
And turn his back on his hood, cause he seeing some crumbs
Ain't no money in the world, that's sad enough to respect
When somebody take a gun, and put it up to your chest
Saying fuck it at the same time, he squeezing a round
If you can blame it on your homeboy, for keeping you down
If it was me, I'd be leery of the people I meet
Cause in this motherfucking game, niggaz playing for keeps

[Chorus]
I stay rooted, I stay rooted
I and I stay rooted, crooked officer crooked officer
I stay rooted
I and I stay rooted
