Lyrics
0:00Hurt to think that you lied to me
0:12Hurt way down deep inside of me
0:23And it breaks my heart
0:29And it breaks my heart
0:35Get paid a pretty penny for my thoughts
0:37I'm hardaway with grammar I'm hot
0:39They only care 'bout a ni**a when he handle the rock
0:42Or when he dishing the pill or when he grippin' the steel
0:45Bailing out my brother tell the lawyer get the appeal
0:48With the flick of the pen write the check and he out
0:51Two years later he be at my shows checking me out
0:54Know he proud of lil bro and how my records be out
0:57Flashbacks to childhood when he was deckin' me out
1:00Now it's clear lil maine is the best mc out
1:03Hands down flow water can't drown
1:07My flow father go harder cole smarter
1:10Shout out to fiends in queens I'm team no daughters
1:13I seen it all at this young age
1:15The only thing left to do is die and hit front page
1:18Should I knock on wood and pray like god forbid
1:22These hoes be poppin' pills these niggas be poppin' sh*t b**ch
1:25Pac on the mic in his prime
1:28They only care 'bout a ni**a when he writing a rhyme boy
1:31Kenny lofton you feelin' my pace
1:34They only care 'bout a ni**a when he stealin' the base
1:37It's like I'm wilt the stilt I'm f**king them all
1:40They only care 'bout a ni**a when he dunkin' the ball
1:44And it breaks my heart
1:46The world's a stage I'll just play my part
1:48Just caught fire like a young richard pryor with unforgettable quotes
1:52They only care 'bout a ni**a when tellin' a joke or when he's sellin'
1:56His d**e
1:56They tell the reverend man I rather get to heaven with coke
1:59Then live in hell and be broke
2:01Shout out to black man who beat the odds by yellin' for hope
2:04Today he asked if I could
2:05Twitter y'all and tell you to vote
2:07My ni**a how could I knowing what I know
2:10It's a game of charades masquerade for the dough
2:13Read the teleprompter these niggas is actors on the low
2:16Yeah I voted for the ni**a cause he got the best show
2:19Like I got the best flow
2:21On your mark set go
2:22Mama got us out the hood but we still ghetto
2:26I seen it all at this young age
2:28The only thing left to do is die and hit front page
2:31Should I knock on wood and pray like god forbid
2:34These hoes be poppin' pills these niggas be poppin' sh*t b**ch
2:38Pac on the mic in his prime
2:40They only care 'bout a ni**a when he writing a rhyme boy
2:44Kenny lofton you feelin' my pace
2:46They only care 'bout a ni**a when he stealin' the base
2:49It's like I'm wilt the stilt I'm f**king them all
2:53They only care 'bout a ni**a when he dunkin' the ball
2:56And it breaks my heart
2:59The world's a stage I'll just play my part
3:02I said you wouldn't know the truth if it was right there in your face
3:05See I can't explain the feeling when the feds surround your place
3:08In that pj rose I drink that sh*t by the case
3:11Like somebody pray for me reverend run pastor mase
3:14See I do this for my homie he got caught with a soft eight
3:17When I say a soft eight yeah that's two less than ten
3:20If they let him out today he gon' do it all again
3:23Say he lost the first time it won't stop until he win
3:26Street life will have you drunk I'm talkin' serious gin
3:29Yeah we screamin' scarface but we all know how that ends
3:32Every word is like d**e you can snort it like lines
3:35If I said it then I meant it they reciting' every line
3:38If I had to write a book it would be the life times
3:41Every verse is that work you can weigh it like a nine
3:44You see I lost a lot of niggas and it broke my heart
3:47Life is staged I'll just play my part
3:52Pac on the mic in his prime
3:53They only care 'bout a ni**a when he writing a rhyme boy
3:57Kenny lofton you feelin' my pace
3:59They only care 'bout a ni**a when he stealin' the base
4:02It's like I'm wilt the stilt I'm f**king them all
4:05They only care 'bout a ni**a when he dunkin' the ball
4:08And it breaks my heart
