Hey Nat You still in the Marines?

Naw Dawg With that shit going on over there in Africa

If I wanted to Kill Niggas I could of stayed my ass in Sherwood

At least some of those Muh Fuckas actually did something to me

Fight and Strive to live right

From sun up to sundown to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

Fight and strive to live right

From sun up to sun down to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

Worked in a warehouse eighteen hours a day

Six days a week, four fifty was my pay

Took a day’s pay if late on Saturday

Convicted felon can’t fight back no way

Game set up for you to fail

Random check sites, get the beat down

Who you tell?

Folks don’t care about sending you to jail

You lost in the system, new residence hell

Worked a full year for the slave driver

My dogs pushing dope, my block on fire

I won’t take no chances I’m leaving the hood

Trucking twenty-five days a month, bye Sherwood

Hauling poison, acid, formaldehyde

Make a spill on yourself, you won’t get back right

It was me, the lord, and my baby mama

She convicted too, so we got nothing but drama

We only come back to check in on the first

To pay the law back, now I’m broke, and I’m hurt

At least if I’m hurt, that means I’m still alive

They haven’t killed me yet, so I still got to try

Fight and Strive to live right

From sun up to sundown to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

Fight and strive to live right

From sun up to sun down to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

After a year, mama off them papers but pregnant

Life better for a moment, than foul flagrant

I’d leave her home, baby take care of the house

With niggas coming by, and they sleeping on my couch

I paid all bills, water, rent, and the light bill

Ain't flush the toilet, been home, or hit the light switch

Daddy gone paper chasing for a better life

Niggas coming over and they digging out my wife

Forty below, zero in the mountains

No fresh water, even frozen in the fountains

Living in a four foot by eight box sleeper

Ninety-five mack won’t find no cheaper

I sacrificed everything for this damn rap

Christmas came and went, my kids didn’t get crap

Ate bologna sandwiches all the while I’m gone

Got injured on the job, couldn’t get a ride home

Fight and Strive to live right

From sun up to sundown to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

Fight and strive to live right

From sun up to sun down to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

Got injured one day, then fired the next

Blue collar truck driver gets no respect

Four years of service given to a faceless company

No employee benefits or for of injuries

I scream to GOD; can he hear me?

Yes, my son but gave you hands and feet

It’s a new game so you got to dig deep

Put up everything I owned to start a record company

All the cash I saved, all the bread I paid

Foot in the door, but I want much more

As I started growing so did the thieves and snakes

Evil enough to steal from the church offering plate

Fight and Strive to live right

From sun up to sundown to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

Fight and strive to live right

From sun up to sun down to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

It’s so cold, in this damn game

So many busters lying and they got no shame

Talking about pain, nigga it hurts

Makes me want to leave them with wet t-shirts

Can’t sleep but two hours a night, thinking about this life

Studio rapist up in your guts tonight

Take my advice, got to a click, keep them tight

Anything you want you must fight

A studio and keyboard don’t make you Suge Knight

Let them tell it, he was at the house last night

So many foes, make the game so sleazy

We all would make it, if the game was easy

My first album, I paid up front

Taxing my pockets like every first of the month

More fudge packing than a click full of punks

I made cheese, now I take punks to the dump

Beware of Nat and his twelve-gauge pump

Nobody talks after riding in my trunk

I smelled the rap game, and the rap game stunk

Deepest in the south living in the swamp

Fight and Strive to live right

From sun up to sundown to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

On dark desert highways all alone

Fight and strive to live right

Everybody that you meet swear they got connections

Most gone screw you without an erection

Tell you what they did for someone else

The only thought they got is to go for themselves

Don’t kid yourself saying “they’ll do right”

They only do right when they threaten they life

Take your hard earned cash, take it real fast

Do nothing like minute men who come fast

Best hear me, or be broke quick

You can spend a half a million and not have shit

In and out of studios with high hopes and dreams

Producer tell you what you want to hear, selling dreams

Got you spending more cash than a crack fiend

But you can buy, buy, buy

But won’t get a high, high, high

Just another lie, lie, lie

All you busters die, die, die

If I kill for nothing for uncle Sam, I’ll kill you too

And won’t give a damn

Fight and Strive to live right

From sun up to sundown to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

Fight and strive to live right

From sun up to sun down to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

Ask yourself, is this you?

Paid them cash, is this what they do?

Paid me for this, paid me for that?

Did a whole album and still ain't done jack?

Not even a show, never been on stage

And won't respect you till you get your twelve gauge

I’ve been ripped off for more cash than I can count

Like paying for a grand of weed and only get an ounce

For every crook, you best pray that I make it

If I got nothing to lose, your life, I will take it

You know who you are, and you know me

The one with all military strategy

Best believe that, if nothing else

Now you feel me, tell me what you felt?

In Snakeville, I know you feel that

Fight and Strive to live right

From sun up to sundown to midnight

Natalac Records got started on the road

Prepaid Stage is like a Prepaid Phone Wanna talk Pay on ya Phone

Murder ain't Wrong Some of you Bitch Niggas Need to be Gone

Fuckin up the Game Crushing People before they even get a chance to grow

Don't worry Dog you cross me that's yo ass Know what I'm sayin that's just the way it is

If I'd Kill for free For five hundred Dollars every other week and they didn't do shit to me

Fuck with me and see what happens take that with ya From Snakeville. Snakeville USA
