 [INTRO]

  D#m G#m A#m 
 
 Get you some money, nigga
 
 [VERSE ONE]
          D#m
 When you broke, it make your life harder
   D#m 
 Money changed a lot of shit
   D#m 
 Everything I seen was real, at funerals like I'm convinced
  G#m 
 Blood on my hands, dirt on my sneakers
  G#m 
 I seen the reaper
   A#m 
 Niggas ain't gangsta, they divas, that's why you hardly seen us

 D#m
 I pledge allegiance to the drug dealers
   D#m 
 Say my name, the club fill up
   D#m
 Mama prayed we'd never be no thug niggas
  G#m 
 My pops was a problem, the fuck I'm 'posed to be
  A#m
 Kept it solid, no sucker in me, that's how it's supposеd to be

 D#m
 On Google, lookin' up my name, my lifе ain't for the lames
  D#m
 Shoe string around his arm, he lookin' for a vein
  G#m 
 Youngin' all he see is red, said he lookin' for some pain
            A#m 
 He just dropped four on the Phantom and he took it to the brain

             D#m 
 Life in a crisis
   D#m 
 All of us got our own vices, I got this shit in the vice grip
  D#m 
 Got what you need
    D#m
 Check out the prices, trip to Belize, still trying to excite em
                G#m 
 Walk in the graveyard, some call it the night shift
    G#m
 Plenty of money to get
                 A#m 
 You could get rich, it's all up to you
   A#m
 You want a Honda, or you want a Bent?

             D#m
 Lord if we find em, nobody gon' miss
  D#m 
 Don't tell his mama she 'bout to be sick
  D#m
 Got in the wrong lane, couldn't switch
   D#m
 Smokin' on my own strain in the Vent
          G#m 
 Lay up on all white leather seats
    G#m
 Whiter than cocaine when you sniff
                 A#m 
 Watch off the dope game, what a gift
    A#m 
 She ain't got no brain, but she thick

           D#m
 I had a rope chain, like I'm Rakim with a .38 on my hip
            D#m 
 I took the four train with a suitcase with like thirty plates in that bitch
    G#m
 Seen way too much heartbreak, put a 808 on my wrist
    A#m 
 Back and forth, we ain't never cool, it be day to day with my bitch

           D#m 
 Feel like MJ with that .45, might fade away if I'm lit
     D#m
 Ain't no NFL, I been through hell, when they raid nigga, they blitz
  G#m
 Aye, nigga, that's Crip
  G#m
 Put that on fate, nigga, don't play nigga
   A#m 
 Thinking 'bout what you could make with us
   A#m 
 If you down, with us 'til the grave, nigga

 
 [CHORUS]
 D#m
 I took losses, I got back then I lost again, I'm still here
 D#m 
 Niggas tried to take my life, kill my spirit, I'm still here
  G#m
 Look around, lot of niggas gone, it don't feel the same but I'm still here
   A#m
 Still rollin' like a wheelchair, fuck fame, shit real here
   D#m

 [VERSE TWO]
  D#m 
 Ain't no weave, shit real here
  D#m 
 Life come like life go, buss it down, it's a light show
  D#m                                  G#m
 That ain't real, that's diet coke, know it's fake but you buy it though
   G#m 
 Watch what I say, they be wired bro
  A#m 
 Niggas claim how they in the race
 A#m 
 But they out of shape, lookin' tired bro

  D#m
 What you know about homies dyin' bro
 D#m 
 Mama cryin', tryna find a way to get through the pain and hit a higher note
 D#m 
 If you from it, that's just how it go
  G#m 
 Phone call, then he gotta go
  G#m 
 When the shotty blow, then it's adios
  A#m 
 At his door like dominoes, now his grandma and his mama know
  
  D#m 
 Down South, we at Papadeaux's
  D#m
 Cops raid, then we gotta close
   D#m
 Lot of bags like we buying clothes, I been like this since a snotty nose
   G#m 
 Body cold, man, body froze, man down, hope nobody told
   A#m 
 When that body don't nobody know
   A#m
 Play the lobby with a lot of smoke

  D#m
 Auntie always said I was a rebel like I'm Rowdy
    D#m
 But I'm more like Bobby though
   D#m 
 Foreign shit like I'm Fabio, reportin' live from El Barrio
   G#m 
 Tweakin' with a couple freaks all up in the sheets
   G#m 
 Probably off a Molly though
    A#m
 The number one stunner, I ain't never been to Hollygrove
  A#m                 D#m 
 Hollywood bitches know I'm hood, what they wouldn't do, niggas know I would
    D#m 
 What they couldn't do, niggas know I could

 [BRIDGE]
          G#m 
 I say a prayer for niggas that's gone
 G#m 
 I say a prayer for niggas that's here
          A#m 
 I say a prayer for niggas that's real
  A#m
 I say a prayer for niggas that's weird
