get it on my own

Singer:e-40

uh

this blap right here

life livin' in the cage in the tridnap

posted with the gauge in the guitar stridnap

hard-boiled eggs and a tuna fish sandwich

dopefiends with aids 'cause they can't afford their medicine

no veins in their legs

in their toes

in their nizneck

dreadlocks and braids in apartments and projects

alleys and creeps

speed bumps in the street

tarps and sheets

crime scenes deceased

peace don't exist

we ain't used to it

give a nigga a eighth

i bet he gon' do it

to tell the whole truth

but he goin' through it

x-rays of his lungs show a little fluid

and he ain't got no insurance

nigga need one

they ain't tryna do it

suffering

he ain't tryna do it

rather go out and pull it and catch a few bullets

ain't nobody handed me nothin'

i had to get it on my own

now i'm doin' what i want

ain't nobody handed me nothin'

i had to get it on my own

i'll do a nigga wrong

ain't nobody handed me nothin'

i had to get it on my own

ain't nobody handed me nothin'

i had to get it on my own

team winnin'

i been pitchin' since the beginning

tryna hit a home run every other inning

had to make a way

had to do it fast

runnin' out of bullets

runnin' out of cash

look up in the stash

only had a rollie

sold it to the plug

made about 40

spent it right back

made another 40

it was off to the races like get 'em
