[Intro: Lil Pete]

Ayy, Hardaway, yeah

Hardaway, yeah

They say the murder gang cool 'til you live in a box

Can't, with them niggas, they wasn't passin' the rock

Yeah, yeah

Ayy

[Verse 1: Lil Pete]

This shit'll eat you alive

Seen a nigga lose trial 'cause he was living with pride

He was a million dollar nigga, now he beggin' for five

I can count my real niggas with a hand to five

Had to go up in the house before sundown

System love nobody 'cause the kids gettin' gunned down

10 years old, seen a nigga get ran down

War goin' on so you sleepin' with your gun out

Champions and chances, keep a line in Kansas

Never front your move, they gon' paint you like a canvas

I won't never stop grinding 'til my mama in that mansion

All he wanna do is jack sons like he Janet

And never sit up on your ass, 'cause them people, I can't stand it

Direct like TV, we don't diss with Instagram-ing

She boosting and she scamming, baby do damage

Do it by herself 'cause lil' baby bring them bands in

[Chorus: Lil Pete]

They say the murder gang cool 'til you live in a box

I can't win with them niggas, they wasn't passin' the rock

Poppin' Dom Pérignon while y'all poppin' Ciroc

Same niggas that salute wanna see a nigga flop

Poppin' Perkys for the pain, pop your bitch 'cause you a lame

When you doin' bad, they act like they don't know a nigga's name

Public housing, Section 8, we from the mud and the rain

Don't compare us, we are not alike, we aren't the same

[Verse 2: Babyface Ray]

They say the dope game good until the end of your trial

We in a frenzy for that money, you can't spend when you die

The streets on fire tryna make it through the end of July

The road wipe him out, you ever seen a grown man cry?

Couple niggas switched sides, got me layin' with mine

Still scrambling in the streets, mama praying outside

Son take it one day at a time

They took Snoop, fuck 'em two at a time

Your day comin' if you true to the grind

You gotta live with them mistakes, ain't no pressin' rewind

And if the plate big enough then I be blessin' the guys

Niggas ain't solid, they was snakes in disguise

They thought I was falling off, I was taking my time

I was really falling back, I was crossing them lines

Taking penitentiary chances just so I could provide

See an opp, take his life 'cause they'll try to take mine

Niggas smilin' like they happy, wanna see me break down

The harder way

[Chorus: Lil Pete]

They say the murder gang cool 'til you live in a box

I can't win with them niggas, they wasn't passin' the rock

Poppin' Dom Pérignon while y'all poppin' Ciroc

Same niggas that salute wanna see a nigga flop

Poppin' Perkys for the pain, pop your bitch 'cause you a lame

When you doin' bad, they act like they don't know a nigga's name

Public housing, Section 8, we from the mud and the rain

Don't compare us, we are not alike, we aren't the same
