you hear me? that's why i act like this
wish i could ask you to love me
wish lovin' you wasn't hard
wish i could make you believe me woah
the grass is greener in my yard
wish i could have you for the long run
if you never see me like i see you
for every time that i wondered
if loving you wasn't smart
i'll have you tell me you love me
when you let me in your heart
all of this hopely will stop
and i won't hesitate to say
but you should have loved me from the start
so if you understand 'cause i'm out here hustlin'
just like any nigga on the corner out there slangin'
goin' through the risk he gotta take
to slang whatever he gotta slang
and all this risk the niggas shall make me go through
i'mma make them feel the fire likei got to feel the fire
and everybody can understand that
they don't understand a black thang
just 'cause yall would act white
just 'cause all these other mothafuckas act white
when they get their papers
i'm about bands 'cause that's what niggas do
you understand me? i'mma smoke weed 'cause that's what niggas do
i'mma pack a gat 'cause that's what niggas do
you understand me? i'mma get drunk 'cause that's what niggas do
you understand me? i'm not going to change just 'cause mothafuckas got money
breaking my heart just like the next man
i'm 21 years old and god helped me make another day
but i'mma cop doing it with my okay

but then came a motherfucker out there tell me shit 'cause i was all
startin' with nothing now i got a little bit of somethin'
that's why i act like this
