Wake up in the morning try to remember last night
drank somethin, smoked smothin, got some ass, right
new day, same place, gotta my cash right
I'm trying to shine brighter than god damn flashlight
but right now I only got a note to my name
not even enough cop some dope to slang
and that hundred is already spoke for
gotta pay bills and shit, plus I gotta smoke more
my phone turned off, gotta pay my metro bill
reception hella weak but i stick with my ghettro still
cuz I ain't got no credit, so verizon can forget it
so metro store is where I'm headed
need some more unleaded cuz my gas lights on
I seen a stop sign, but I smashed right on
cuz ain't no stoppin my hustle for paper
except if I run outta gas in my scraper
shell too high, gotta hit the arco
8 dollars on gas, I ain't goin far tho
copped some swishers and a black & mild
turned up my stereo and start to act real wild
gas, brake dip up outta the station
giggin in my seat till I reach my destination
gotta pay the bill quick, and that's fa sho
Husalah right, foo's get shot up at the metro store
and I ain't trying to be a victim, I got moves to make
58 dollars gone then made a smooth escape
got a joog on a sack, somethin coo for 8
but he take hella long, why this foo be late?
30 minutes later is when my sack will arrive
then we match blunts to get twice as high
feelin like a drink so I'mma hit the store
off to one of the 6 close liquor stores
flip four ohs copped 2 so I can sip some more
and walked so I ain't gotta waste gas in the whip no more
time to post on the stairwell and see what's happ'nin
maybe later I'll get on the sticks and whoop foos in madden
that's when Eddie asked if I seen pookie, but I hadn't
he looked mad and I asked the foo what had happend
"that nigga came thru to cop something
asked me if I got something, and if I could front him, oh you forgot something?
I'm not frontin without dough you gettin not nothin zero
until you come with the right deniro"
I said that's a normal think for knocks to ask
and then we both stopped and waited for the cops to pass
he said "that ain't even why I'm trippin,
this foo had a sidekick and I ain't talkin scottie pippen"
he asked me for money for it, I gave him a twenty for it
crackedhead prices, that shit be real funny don't it?
then that foo broke out so quick
before I could even see if I could work this shit
and that's when i realized that shit was your cousins"
you think that's her shit? I bet you that it wasn't
she dipped to LA, you know she been gone
"call her" then I heard that custom ringtone
lets go check her apartment its just round the block
and he ran in her shit we gonna beat down the knock
lo and behold her window was busted in
and 2 fiends ran out before we could start rushin in
I jetted down the stairs at full throttle
already pissed cuz I just dropped my whole full bottle
grabbed pookie by the back of his nasty ass shirt
threw him to the ground and stomped till blood was on the dirt
puttin in work as eddie grabbed the knock bitch
"what you took from her crib?" she said "I ain't got shit"
heard them sounds, "yo its the cops, shit"
pookie lucky they came cuz I didn't wanna stop, shit
them boys gave chase and made the situation more tense
made two lefts, a right, then hopped over an old fence
pounded on the door of the homegirl keisha
let me hide out, and if the cops come then get amnesia
she said "fasho, you like my little brother
and you cousin go way back, she knew my mother"
I told her about the whole fiasco
as we ate some cup of noodles with added tobasco
i said I'm still mad my 40's gone
"I got heem in the freezer, do you want some?"
do you even gotta ask? pour me a glass
as she reached in the cabinet I noticed her ass
a little bit bigger than I remember
after a few drinks asked her about last december
"if you talkin bout our little thang under the mistletoe
I still remember, and I'm single now to let you know"
do I need to even say what came next?
her then me, with latex, safe sex
wen't back to the crib after I done busted
but stopped at eddies and over a blunt we discussed shit
glad to see he didn't get locked away
gave him a pound, turned around and walked away
stumbled back to the house, my eyes bloodshot red
took off my air force ones and passed out on the bed
yeah, its not really the good life
just some normal everyday hood life
