Why are those people cryin'?
 Watch out for the double cross
 (Is it for something they've lost?)
 Tear drops and closed caskets
 (Why are those people cryin'?)
 Mafia, what else
 (Is it for something they've lost?)
 Blockworks, let's get it
 I used to get confused, choosing my battles wisely
 I had to pick and choose
 My friends came and went, but most of them was murder victims
 Dead before 20 or caught a frame and had to serve a sentence
 Free my nigga Raymond, realest nigga from the Murder Mitten
 Stood tall, hit a nigga for ten thirty-sixes
 All he wanted to do was ball, and spread the rock around
 Built my foundation on solid ground
 Always in and out of town
 Waking up out of my sleep to them chopper rounds
 Stick in a gleeko, ColecoVision
 Me and Nico off the Cliquot, we got three hoes kissin'
 Niggas eatin', gettin' fat, laced in Moschino, drippin'
 Wishful thinking with the bag, we get them kilos missin'
 Grew up in a hell hole, that's why I think so twisted
 When your wifey a rich bitch, it make you treat hoes different
 Had to pay my respect, ain't takin' likely to no threats
 Take a nigga connect, kill him in blatant disrespect
 Erase him with a text, pop up at your mother crib
 From the city where niggas get hit for shit that they brother did
 Fuck a gig, my niggas out here grittin' in Upper Striggs
 Ain't have a fuck to give, but shit, for now, this just what it is
 Grandma cussin' me out, quit runnin' in and out the house
 What's all the fuss about? It's either cut me in or cut it out
 Ain't grow up with no silver spoon, we had to thug it out
 I hid a half-a-slab in my room, just waitin' for the drought
 That money come and go, but who gon' be there when it's gone?
 When you was off your square, but I bet they was there when it was on
 The moment all your tokens gone, no minutes on your phone
 God bless the child that hold his own, that shit hit close to home
 When everything you ever loves, you lost to the gun
 From all that you done
 But down the line that could cost you a son
 Is it for something they've lost?
 Why are those people cryin'?
 Is it for something they've lost?
