Lyrics

Yeah, I'm built Ford tough
(Carmelo)
No, this how I used to be feelin'
(James, put the check, boy)
Killer girl, yeah
Crossed out, hex, feel like I'm possessed
I wanna handle baby daddy, it just ain't happen yet
My wife just sent that paper there, I just ain't grab it yet
Nominated for the Grammys, I went back to jail
Racist judge found me guilty, sent me back to hell
Lost trial in the feds, went back on appeal
My lil' ones irkin' out, he back on them pills
Zombies lurkin', close the curtains, we back on the steel
The voodoo lady say, "Okay", I say, "I had to kill"
Get 'em down there for a show and put that racket here
Traffic tickets, had too many, I was gettin' stopped
Never happen when I'm by myself so bein' friendly stopped
I rock a lotta gold chains, I am not a coward
I'm thuggin' hard, I'm connected to the higher power
Damn, near lost it all believing' in a bitch, ****
Okay, problem solved, I do shit a little different
Talked about behind my back by my own family
But I'm built Ford tough and I still hold up
Instances I used to deal with tried to hurt my marriage
But I'm built Ford tough and I still hold up
They stack the deck with bitch, ****, everybody backs 'em
(They do)
Been in the game since shit stains and I'm 'bout that action
(I'm 'bout that)
I never ratted a Louisiana livin' legend (Why?)
Bitch, I'm in traffic, you play with Gates, you got to wet it
Just remember I'm not a talker, I'm a stepper (I'm a stepper)
Broad day, I go to walkin' up, applyin' pressure
Free C-Murder, they tried to ban me from the prisons
Maybe they know I'm only happy when I see my ****
Maybe they wanna see me broke or dead or back there with 'em (They do)
Shout-out the ones in the system with a life sentence
Woman pregnant for another brother, never visit (Don't)
Shout-out the ones who still show love in the city
The way they hate you, make you kinda hate to fuck with the city
Gangster reason, long nights I remember (I remember)
I ask big Dana for some pictures, I just really miss you
(Yeah, whaddup?)
Roamin' the trenches where the cocaine get delivered
Say, look
Don't never go look for yourself
Inside somebody else, you heard me
'Cause some of these **** out here
Ain't really cut like we cut
You know, we cut from a bandana, you know
These **** cut from shit paper, you heard me?
That shit sounds good until it takes place
And I'm built Ford tough and I still hold up
And I'm built Ford tough and I still hold up
But I'm built Ford tough and I still hold up
