[Lil' Flip:]
Whooooooo! 

[Lyfe Jennings:]
Uh [x8] (talk to em Lyfe) uh [x4] (talk to em Lyfe) uh [x4] 

[Chorus x2: Lyfe Jennings]
I just can't go..... I just can't stay... I just can't, you just wont 
I just can't get away....... 

[Lil' Flip:]
Ghetto mindstate! 
At 15 I was making moves 
Drinking beer shooting dice at school 
when most niggas had a 9 to 5 shit 
on the block we making 9 to 5 grand... 
each day yeah we got cheap yay (holla) 
My niggas on lock they called me on 3 way 
The hood hot like a crock pot 
Dope fiends cutting yards for a 20 piece of crack rock 
Around my way aint nobody watching matlock 
We trynna hot wire cars and break pad locks 
Turn soft to hard drop it in glad locks 
And drive flashy cars and get mad props 
And still I wont change 
Last week they caught my patna with a block of caine 
And can't no amount of money stop the pain 
They gave him 35 years his momma went insaine 

[Chorus x2]

[Lil' Flip:]
Ghetto mindstate! 
Coming up with no father figure 
I guess that made me a harder nigga (why?) 
Cuz I dont like to ask for shit 
When I came in the game with a half a brick (yes!) 
But I aint telling lil' kids to go that route 
But is on TV everyday like they dont know that route 
And Lil girls being fast 
Being grown trynna Flirt 
Leaving home wearing pants 
then change in to a skirt 
Huh! 
I live in the ghetto I stay in the ghetto (yeah!) 
Run up grown Im spraying that metal 
Cuz aint shit sweet around my way 
All I know is one thing how to get paid (yeah!) 
With Lyfe on the hook I know we got another hit 
This motivational music 
I know you feeling this (ey!) 
And i was raised in a church 
But were Im from you gotta do that work 

[Chorus x2]

[Lil' Flip:]
Why everybody trynna bring me down 
because of me they respect H-town 
Look I was here when yall wouldnt around 
The first week you did a alright 
But then that shit went down 
Why everybody trynna bring me down 
because of me they respect H-town 
Look I was here when yall wouldnt around 
The first week you did a alright 
But then that shit went down!! 

[Lyfe Jennings:]
They tell you you were born to die 
Yo momma she was born to cry 
Yo woman she was born to lie 
Hold you down so you can't rely 
I tell you that its all a lie 
Young nigga You just gotta try 
Keep your eyes up on the sky 
Don't let your dreams pass you by 
Cuz somebody said
