Lyrics

Yeah, It's going down
Feel me, Southside representing
Reality, Show Love
Things are crazy in this life
Gotta get my smoke on
It's getting hard to hold on
Things are crazy in this life
Gotta get my smoke on
It's getting hard to hold on
One thing's for sure: Gotta get my smoke on
Pop trunk, dome light crawling down on chrome
Been dragged through society for twenty-six years
See my ghetto peers locked
Mama shed so many tears
Highway to hell, will it ever end for a brother?
System got us killing each other, we supposed to love one another
The game got our minds in a headlock
But in reality we working for a jail block
Will it ever stop?
I mean the game
Revolving doors, escalator, when it pours it rain
And there's no limit to life so you gotta keep teaching
Practice what you preaching, young minds that you reaching
To be above the rest is the quest that you strive for
What you gotta realize, material shit ain't nothing to die for
But I lie for my **** that's gonna lie for me
And ride down on our so-called enemy
Ain't no kin to me
But I intend to see
Brighter days where I'm headed, everything copacetic
Big Benz super-leaded as I smash on scene
Fat Pat on the place, that's the way it gotta be
Tryna see a different level of the game fo sho
Ain't too old to learn so I gotta listen, you know
What I'm saying, try to hear me 'cause I'm singing the blues
Every morning waking up, see myself on the news
Things are crazy in this life
Gotta get my smoke on
It's getting hard to hold on
Things are crazy in this life
Gotta get my smoke on
It's getting hard to hold on
Hot mind blown, drifting off into space
Wondering will there ever be a day when there's no hate
But it's too late because the system is corrupt
Young kids growing up with their minds fucked up
Stuck up in the ghetto with no place to go
Tryna provide for the family, but it's slow
And shit be a trip, will we ever prevail?
Tryna keep the family fit, they taking us to jail
Living hell on Earth, that's what it is
But it goes back to when our parents were kids
We're just a new seed or a different breed
Born into the future at a high rate of speed
Shall I proceed? Jealousy and envy and greed
All them haters need is a push and they'll be hiding in your bush
Tryna take what you got, that mean another brother shot
Devastating schemes and plots, my people mean a lot
No doubt we got problems, but we gotta bump hard
Pray to the Lord, keep our head straight above the sword
Time repeats itself, so you gotta put it down
Roll over, roll blunts and put the past behind
And try to maintain and capitalize on the game
And get your paper for your name and represent this thang
You knowm sayin'?
Things are crazy in this life
Gotta get my smoke on
It's getting hard to hold on
Things are crazy in this life
Gotta get my smoke on
It's getting hard to hold on
We gotta hold on
We gotta hold on
We gotta hold on
