I always been a soldier, but I never did look for no wars 
I walk with God, but I still receive bruises and scars 
Everybody was shitting on me, for no reason 
Couldn't wait to get my money right, and finally get even 
Remember when I pushed the canary colors, with a pocket full of lint 
Booster cables was necessary, for everywhere I went 
Sold dope for a minute, till my nigga start snitching 
Guess they didn't wanna see a nigga, get money out the kitchen 
'Fore my mama died (mama said), people gonna hate ya 
Cause they can't do what you doing, cause they women wanna date ya 
Be ready for it, it's gon happen all day long 
If everybody got love for ya, you doing some'ing wrong 
That's why I strive to please Z-Ro, keep my money on the low 
Cause if my friends try to get me, they gotta go 
You can hate me all you want, cause I'ma use it for my good 
Thanks for helping me, to make it out the hood 

This one is to my real niggaz, that hate me every single day 
Because of you, I make the world pay 
Ain't got no love for nothing that got love for me, cause love ain't live 
They don't love me, they love my nickels and dimes 
(2x)

Everytime I pray to God, I ask him to forgive me for all my flaws 
But I'm paranoid, I can't keep my pistol out my drawas 
Seem like everytime I move, somebody watching me 
But still I continue to pay my dues, it ain't no stopping me 
Till I'm satisfied, until then I'm left to ride till it's over 
But I travel with no passengers, you can't ride if you ain't doja 
I don't even trust myself, so where you think you stand with me 
Fuck everybody, I feel like everybody out to get me 
If it ain't so, tell me why I live like this 
Po' than a motherfuckers, but I still give like I'm rich 
I promise trying to make it to heaven, is hard as hell 
Especially now, when all I receive is pictures and mail 
Motherfuckers was plotting on me, just to get me out the way 
You them ride or die niggaz, I use to fuck with everyday 
I appreciate y'all, for turning your backs 
Once I was alone, all my poverty turned into stacks 

This one is to my real niggaz, that hate me every single day 
Because of you, I make the world pay 
Ain't got no love for nothing that got love for me, cause love ain't live 
They don't love me, they love my nickels and dimes 
(2x)

If you look me in my eyes, you will find no emotion 
The reason why I pass my homies up, and keep on coasting 
Cause life has been hard, and they ain't make it no better 
Making a mockery out of Joseph McVey, for lack of cheddar 
But now I make the world, pay me jewels and riches 
Remember when I gave a fuck, about you niggaz and bitches 
But when I was doing bad, I couldn't get up out the pit's hand 
Couldn't even spend the night, when I didn't have a spot to live in 
I barely had enough scratch, for a dime sack and a cigar 
To the world, I was just another nothing ass nigga 
But I made it out the ghetto, in the nick of time 
Right before I let my Z-Ro haters, see me lose my mind 
It's a different ball game, now I'm in the major leagues 
No longer have to be dreaming, just to see me play with G's 
I know my haters, can't stand me 
Cause everyday they homeboys and homegirls jam me, I'm loving it
