can't give it up

there's always something you got to give up

if you want everything you want

my life is a jungle

i struggle hustle monday through sunday

they tell me the world is mine but shit i don't want it

who want it?

how could it be mine and i'm still hungry

still hungry

lost and lonely - so i holler at the voices of the wind as a friend

but i predicted this endin

back in the day

cuz i had visions of bad decisions knew niggaz would go astray

although we pray and we pray and we pray

we do but still wanna make the loot

no more united

divided we fall

nigga and hard

we all dealt fucked up cards but don't complain;

just play the hand that you was dealt

you play 'em right you prevail - you play 'em wrong then you fail

it ain't hard to tell

when you been headed for self destruction

cause i

could look at the piece of the puzzle

it ain't no love involved - everything we was dissolved

we all hard as one

but together we raw

and there ain't a nigga that can fuck wit that

we split up

we tied up

my nigga wassup wit that

lettin the devil get in

to the pen

devils pretendin to be friends

we was taken by that snake in the grass

should of stuck the nigga fast

yeah

that motherfuckin snake in the grass

we dropped our guards and he got inside us like a virus

now our family reunion done turned into a family crisis

there's always something you got to give up. if you want everything you want. i was never on some solo shit

always down to roll and blow a head off

he dead off and don't know me

don't tell me you love me

when i was lonely and my daddy died

all of my niggaz came to the church

and thanks for comin

i'm still stressed out over the death

when i take my breath and puff my cigarette

i think the world is just collapsin

but i'm still rappin get it all off my chest

so i came back to the action

when the bird was flyin

low

and laughin

family bashin 'til it just happened

then wally passed - and he asked me

wasn't it tragic?"
