Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, ya'll ain't gonna like what I'm about to tell y'all
Ya'll gain a wrong doin' the deal this time, boy
Yeah, I'ma take ya'll back
How it use to be
Back in the '90s
Oh, yeah, yeah
Yo
[Verse 2]
Pictured everything else, now picture this
Rollin' in my 2-door Monte Carlo
Lookin' for somebody I can borrow
Five or ten dollars till tomorrow
I'm doin' bad, ya'll
And I smoked my last pack of cigarettes today
You ever seen a **** diggin' in the ashtray
It's a crumbin' and humblin' sight to see
I'm doing bad, ya'll
[Verse 3]
And they teasin' me with these 23's
And these DVD's in their ride
Then they pass me by
By, by, by, by, by
And have the nerve to wonder why
[Verse 4]
I be robbin' these ****
I'm a stick up kid
That's how I live, I admit it
And I be robbin' these ****
I'm a stick up kid
And if you're doin' too much, I'm comin' to get it
I be robbing these ****
I'm a stick up kid
That's how I live
I admit it
I be robbin' these ****
I'm a stick up kid
And if you're doin' too much, I'm comin' to get it
[Verse 5]
See, lately, I've been thinkin' 'bout saving my soul
And do prayers make it to heaven from the ghetto?
I asked all my friends, but they all say they don't know
It's all bad, ya'll
And the preacher talkin' 'bout some stuff he don't know
When church done become a fuckin' fashion show
And they won't let a **** in with these timbos
It's all bad, ya'll
[Verse 6]
And they teasin' me with these 23's
And these DVD's in their ride
And they pass me by
By, by, by, by, by
And have the nerve to wonder why
[Verse 7]
Wonder why I be robbing these ****
I'm a stick up kid
That's how I live
I admit it
I be robbin' these ****
I'm a stick up kid
And if you're doin' too much, I'm comin' to get it
I be robbin' these ****
I'm a stick up kid
That's how I live
I admit it
Oh, I be
I'm a stick up kid
And if you're doin' too much, I'm comin' to get it
[Verse 8]
Nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody knows but me
Nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody knows but me
Oh, nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody knows but me
[Verse 9]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what, yeah
Huh, are ya mad?
You mad at who?
[Verse 10]
Yeah, and
That only lasted briefly
You know and then here come the police
Handcuffing a brother taking me
Throwing me in the cage with the rest of them
You know, I guess it was true
What mamma always said
The same thing that make ya laugh
Will make you cry
