[Intro]
EbmAwwwww...hDbahaBm  
[Verse 1]
Now I was barely sevEbmenteen with a pocket full of hope
Screamin' "dollar and a dream" with my closet lookin' broke
And my nigga's lookin' cEbmlean, gettin' caught up with that dope
Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap?
Nigga I can tell you thEbmings that you probably shouldn't know
Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor?
Flashbacks to the paiDbn, wakin' up, cold swBeats
Six o'clock in the mornin', gotta hit the BowFlex
Get my weight up on the Ebmblock, keep watch for the cops
God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot
Nowadays crime pEbmays like a part time job
And the drought got me prayin' for a Carl Thom vibe
Summer Rain come aEbmgain
Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon
In my mind I been cryin', know it's wrong but I'm sellin'
EyDbes wellin' up with tears
Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the diBrt
Immortalized on this shirt
[Hook]
Real niggas don't Ebmdie
Forward with the plot
One-Seven-Forty-Five
Form at the plot
Real niggas don't dEbmie
Form on the block
Real niggas don't lie
Form in the plot
My niggas don't Ebmdie
Form on the block
Real niggas don't dEbmie
Form on the block
Real niggas don't Dbdie
RBeal niggas don't Bbmdie
[Verse 2]
Have you Ebmever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon?
Have you ever seen a nigga that was black on the moon?
Have you eEbmver seen your brother go to prison as you cry?
Have you ever seen a motherfuckin' ribbon in the sky?
Nope, Ebmall I see is that C.R.E.A.M nigga, that green
I'm a black king, black jeans on my black queen
And her Ebmass fat, too fat for a flat screen
I'm the type of nigga make the whole fuckin' trap lean
EbmKingpin nigga, put wings on a crack fiend
If they want a nigga, they gon' have to send a SWAT team
DbAnd I'm goin' out like Scarface in his last scene
BA legend, what that mean—?
[Hook]

At the bottom and hanged
The strangest frFmuit that you ever seen
Ripe with pain, lEbmisten...

[Intro]

Ebm Db Bm

Awwwww...haha

[Verse 1]

Ebm

Now I was barely seventeen with a pocket full of hope

Screamin' "dollar and a dream" with my closet lookin' broke

Ebm

And my nigga's lookin' clean, gettin' caught up with that dope

Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap?

Ebm

Nigga I can tell you things that you probably shouldn't know

Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor?

Db B

Flashbacks to the pain, wakin' up, cold sweats

Six o'clock in the mornin', gotta hit the BowFlex

Ebm

Get my weight up on the block, keep watch for the cops

God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot

Ebm

Nowadays crime pays like a part time job

And the drought got me prayin' for a Carl Thom vibe

Ebm

Summer Rain come again

Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon

In my mind I been cryin', know it's wrong but I'm sellin'

Eyes wellin' up with tears

Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the dirt

Immortalized on this shirt

It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained

At the bottom and hanged

The strangest fruit that you ever seen

Ebm

Ripe with pain, listen...
