Still Hold Up

Yeah
 I'm built Ford tough (Carmelo)
 You know, this how I used to be feelin'
 Killer, you heard me? (James put the check, boy)
 Yeah
 Crossed out, hex, feel like I'm possessed
 I wanna handle baby daddy, it just ain't happen yet
 My wife just sent that paper there, I just ain't grab it yet
 Nominated for the GRAMMYs, I went back to jail
 Racist judge found me guilty, sent me back to Hell
 Lost trial in the feds, went back on appeal
 My lil' ones irkin' out, he back on them pills
 Zombies lurkin', close the curtains, we back on the steel
 The voodoo lady say, "Okay," I say, "I had to kill"
 Get 'em down there for a show and put that racket here
 Traffic tickets, had too many, I was gettin' stopped
 Never happen when I'm by myself so bein' friendly stopped
 I rock a lotta gold chains, I am not a coward
 I'm thuggin' hard, I'm connected to the higher power
 Damn near lost it all believing' in a bitch nigga
 Okay, problem solved, I do shit a little different
 Talked about behind my back by my own family
 But I'm built Ford tough, and I still hold up
 Entities I used to deal with tried to hurt my marriage
 But I'm built Ford tough, and I still hold up
 They stack the deck with bitch niggas, everybody backs 'em (they do)
 Been in the game since shit stains
 And I'm 'bout that action (I'm 'bout that)
 I never ratted, a Louisiana livin' legend (why?)
 Bitch, I'm in traffic, you play with Gates, you got to wet it (grrat)
 Just remember, I'm not a talker, I'm a stepper (I'm a stepper)
 Broad day, I go to walkin' up, applyin' pressure (boom, boom, boom)
 Free C Murder (ooh), they tried to ban me from the prisons (ooh)
 Maybe they know I'm only happy when I see my niggas (ah)
 Maybe they wanna see me broke or dead or back there with 'em (they do)
 Shoutout the ones in the system with a life sentence (oh, oh)
 Woman pregnant for another brother, never visit (don't)
 Shoutout the ones who still show love in the city
 The way they hate you, make you kinda hate to fuck with the city (hm)
 Gangster reason, long nights I remember (I remember)
 I ask Big Dana for some pictures, I just really miss ya (whaddup?)
 Roamin' the trenches where the cocaine get delivered
 Say, look
 Don't never go look for yourself inside somebody else, you heard me
 'Cause some of these niggas outchea ain't really cut like we cut
 You know, we cut from a bandana
 You know, these niggas cut from shit paper, you heard me
 That shit sounds good until it takes place
 But I'm built Ford tough, and I still hold up
 But I'm built Ford tough, and I still hold up
 But I'm built Ford tough, and I still hold up
