Come  follow me  Now  back in the day we still was thuggin'  nothin' changed
Always into somethin'  whatever  you name it  Young thug with my niggas is one
love  Lil' bad ass niggas  sneaky  a calm  collected slickster  I might not
have been on the scene  but you can believe I was in the picture  In the
mixture, sellin' llello, scrappin', carjackin', gunpackin'  I'm lackin'
everything you can imagine so I'm prayin', rappin', they'd get me outta this
jam, damn just gimme a chance  I'll keep 'em dancin' [dancin'] all night [all
night]  When times get harder and harder, my dreams got further and further
away And nigga, I chased 'em, but couldn't catch 'em to save my life  So now
I'm thuggin' on this corner  I gotta increase my financial status  I chanced
it, fuckin' with these rollers when they roll up  Yeah, don't wanna be locked
in no cell, but I also can't take strippings and be broke with no mail  Oh, yes
it's hell, and they say that gets easier, but to me it !

Just turned eightteen and caught my first case: incarcerated--caught with a
twelve gauge  Tryin' to come up with some money and made a stupid-ass
mistake--could have been my niggas fate  Fuckin' with shotguns, we out to rob
some niggas I'm drunk  I'm pumped  I made a mistake and popped him  Now, he
bleedin', I see blood  Damn, get to the doctor Nigga, don't rest in peace
Doctor's took him to emergency  Coppers came and arrested me  Not knowin' if
my nigga had made it alive and was well, I tossed and turned in my cell, annoyed
and sweatin' like hell  Praise to the lord, and I hope you hear me  And I hope
you feel me  I ain't mean to  Really  Really  I ain't mean it  I know you
seen it  I finally spoke to my nigga  He lifted up and recovered and pressed
no charges  Wait, the state done picked it up, and I gotta trial in a month
Fuck!  And the judge ain't tryin' to give me no love, 'cause it was my first
offense, but he just thinkin' he lockin' up a thug [!

Now, I'm locked inside this prison system, bitten, count days left on my
sentence  Now I can say that I've been here, but I sure ain't gon' come back
here  Uh-uh  The day they release me, I'm goin' home  I can cope, but I can't
adjust  These fuckin' steel doors drivin' me nuts  My last month, I'm ready to
move out  I'm sure  Stay on the low: I listen to thug stories, and be trippin'
on niggas love stories  I'm fin to get out of this muthafucka--heard 'em call
out my name: 250-2-2-58  Pack up your shit; it's your day  Jumped out my bunk,
give all my shit to my niggas  In fact, I left everything that I had back in
jail but my raps  I'm on the streets now  Scene unchanged--niggas still the
same  I ain't fuckin' with you bustas, 'cause I'm tryin' to make a change  I
got with the real dogs, and we was schemin' on the mill, y'all  So we had to
chill on y'all  Get out of Cleveland, if we planned to achieve it  So we
