Testo Dying In My City Mean Green
major player
whether they grinding hustling flipping things yaâll know what I mean
if it donât fold if it donât ching ching
then you ainât a real soldier if you canât maintain
if it donât fold if it donât ching ching
then you ainât a real soldier, if you canât maintain
[Mia X]
now mama canât be compared to no other broad
cause I spit that mental and keep them niggas peeling off Franklins
Franky # 1, Iâm on the force checks in my hands
most demand to be manâs thugs Mrs.
I piss on all you so-called fire starters
and all you fakes claiming flow
Iâm known to touch your water
I started with a quarter flip my way to six figures
ground work down and dirty hustling like a nigga
I figured ainât no sense in sleeping if my kids ainât eating
and ainât no sense in you creeping if you ainât treating
Iâm seeking dollars if you with me baby follow me
trying to buy a key like itâs a ticket out of poverty
but every key donât always open up a friendly door
on the other side might be the law so
plain strategies clean your gâs and keep it coming
donât be another ghetto child hustling for nothing
chorus
[Master P]
uhhhhhhh
Iâm a ball till I fall nigga pops wasnât home
put it in a zip lock bag or either ride with the chrome
I thank god for my big cousin Jimmy nigga taught me how to hustle
see life is like a puzzle always in and out of trouble
from the jail to the street we hustle till we weak
from a quarter to a key nigga momma gotta eat
see this ghetto got me crazy
and if it wasnât for no limit could they pay me
two million in the bank for the babies
independent black owned is why they pay me
chorus
[Silkk]
what what what
now look dollars Iâm trying to fold
three keep me rolling like wheelchairs
see Iâm from the south I love east and west
just like I lived there
ran the streets with my thugs
often I sold
iâd be lying if Iâm tell you iâm doing this rap stuff strictly out of love
Iâm in it for the money
but yaâll can keep the fame and all that
bitch let it be known that my name I bring like all that
hate me that I got riches
hate that I got bigger
even got picture of me flossing in drop 6s
I like to have things and I donât like to dream
picture my benz riding rubber 20s so I put em on 19s
aim high my dream house cost about 6 mil
I wanna step out the house cause I paid boy
about six bills
no limit and mean green you gotta like respect our flow
respect our dough, respect that we trying to get some more
major players do what they want
you haters do what yaâll can
Iâm trying to bury money understand
for my real gâs 100s and grams
see Iâm a no limit soldier so Iâm a represent
if it donât fold or ching ching, then it donât make sense
chorus
[Mean Green]
Yeah and there it is
whatâs up this is the Mean Green
wanna explain to you about maintaining
remember the days yaâll
us black folks had love for each other
we wasnât jacking each other for cars and clothes
you know we was maintaining
we grew up in a materialistic ass world
gotta get away from that
now itâs time for us soldiers to step up
be proud to be who we are
as we groove into this new millenium
you know
itâs time for us to make our kids proud
time to take care of our families like we supposed to
thatâs whatâs important
major players, well we do what we want
haters, stand on the side and do what they can
and that is
