I've
seen what it's like to have money
And I've seen what
it's like to be broke
And I've seen what it's like
to work a nine -to -five
And I've seen what it's like to sell dope
And I've seen what
it's like to have women
And I've seen what
it's like to be alone
But through all these things,
I survived this game
The situation just made me strong
And I've seen what
it's like to have money
And I've seen what it's like to be broke
And I've seen what it's like
to work a nine -to -five
And I've seen what it's like to sell dope
And I've seen what it's like
to have women
And I've seen what it's
like to be alone
But through all these things,
I survive this game
The situation just made me strong
I'm sick of waking up early, about six
Serving rock after rock shit
All day an d night on the block shit
I wanna mix cahein up in
the pot with cuttings
Make up more keys than a locksmith
So I can say I got bricks, not nicks
Cause I'm sick of eating dope up
And this run -in -front -of -knock shit
Always gotta throw the Glock with me
To protect the little I got
But I ain't got shit
But t -shirts and jeans,
I want a new outfit
I like the new Jordans,
fuck these Reebok kicks
I want a drop six, V -dozen on goods
Cause I'm so sick and tired
of this Chevy box shit
Sick of this nasty,
walkin' with a white bitch
I want a dime with beautiful breasts,
went topless
Cause I witnessed it and
seen what it's like
To realize this life I live
ain't my shit
And I've seen what
it's like to have money
And I've seen what it's like to be broke
And I've seen what it's like
to work a nine -to -five
And I ain't seen what
it's like to sell dope
And I ain't seen what
it's like to have women
And I ain't seen what it's like to be alone
But through all these things,
I survived this game
The situation just made me
strong
These motherfuckers wanna play me
like I'm weak or something
Young buck, gotta live everything
you're trying to do to come up
I realize this dope game
is like chasing the wind
Cause every time I stack five,
shit is costing me ten
How can I tell you life is all grave
when shit's shaded?
I'm cold hearted now
cause that's the way
this game made me
Lord, there's gotta be a better way
Some people livin' check to check,
I'm livin' day to day
Tryna focus on my own pockets
I got gold, a few hoes,
what does my soul profit?
Not a thing
Been through enough shit
to blow your brain
You wanna ball, young nigga,
better know the game
I got a cousin doin' fair time,
seekin' for role
Be careful in your endeavors,
partner, stay on your toes
Life ain't all about the cars
and the clothes and the hoes
Get your money right, nigga,
and reach your goals
Cause I've seen what
it's like to have money
And I done seen what it's like to be broke
And I done seen what it's like
to work a nine -to -five
And I done seen what
it's like to sell dope
And I done seen what
it's like to have women
And I done seen what it's
like to be alone
But through all these things,
I survived this game
The situation just made me strong
Some niggas scared,
just show their face without that bread
It's an addiction like tooth
snow up in your head
I done seen my niggas
on the concrete dead
Tryin' to ball off the wall
and keep their kempo fed
Listen, I don't be rappin'
all the time for me
It's a lot of shit I'm tryin'
to get my people to see
You supposed to make that dough,
don't let the dough make you
My people dy in',
tryin' to imitate the shit we do
We came from bottom to top,
back to bottom again
With church folk screamin',
devil must've got him again
It's like a lottery spin,
but you can't pick three
Lady look steady lookin',
but she ain't pick me
Who? MJG, internationally known
Everything you hear me say
wasn't meant to be cloned
You gotta take care of home
curiosity to kill
Don't be interested in nothin'
but keepin' it real
Now I'm seein' what
it's like to have money
And I'm seein' what it's
like to be broke
And I'm seein' what it's like
to work a nine -to -five
And I'm seein' what
it's like to sell dope
And I'm seein' what
it's like to have women
And I'm seein' what it's like
to be alone
But through all these things,
I survived this game
The situation just made me strong
Now I'm seein' what
it's like to have money
And I'm seein' what
it's like to be broke
And I done seen what it's like
to work a nine to five
And I done seen what
it's like to sell dope
And I done seen what it's like
to have women
And I done seen what it's like to be alone
But through all these things,
I survive this game
Situations just make me strong
I done seen what it's like
I done seen what it's like, hey
I didn't see what it's like,
I didn't see what it's like
