Argue and fought myself
Yeah, I had told myself the road [?] down here
And I told me, shit, I'mma keep it G
You lookin' aight, Big Mike
Big money, big car, big house, big booty wife
Shit, nigga, that's your life
That's your car, your house, your wife
I'm just sayin'
You can have all that without the strife for the life that a nigga endured
You ain't gotta drop outta college
And watch your Grand Momma ask the Lord, "Lord, why did he do it?"

Eyes of the State, no fun fun
Woke up in the dawn, alone, the mood hung there, yawnin'
I don't see calm that often
Lit the stick in her hair with no [?]
Walkin' the Earth again, better get poppin'
Check the old gold watch, I ride often
It don't mean much, but it's mine, I copped it
Have it on my wrist 'til my heart starts stoppin'
Go [?] to my mind, my mind is [?] coffin [?]
I don't advise, who am I to act wise?
Nine out of ten times the swine had arrived [?], so I lie
It ain't a-okay
Eh, you get nine bucks then why eight?
Try'na chase you and parade around [?]
Try to remind myself they will pay
You don't got shit, take a [?] to my camp
