(Get rich) But the funny thing about that phrase to me is that these lil' niggaz be lyin! (be lyin) Cause don't nobody wanna die (wanna die), but everybody tryna get rich though (get rich) But the fucked-up thing about that these lil' niggaz don't how to get rich, so I still run with those angels, man I still peep all those angles Keep 'em with guns, speakin in tongues, talkin that Arabic and that Yiddish Ridin them trains, stashin them chains, bangles - yeah I played all those games though (I played 'em) My tag on the wall, you niggaz look up, you can still see my name yo How did I, end up, where I'm, at? It's kinda hard to explain yo I remember, all I, wanted, was a, gold chain and a Kangol I remember, all I, wanted, was a, gold chain and some Jordans too Crushed that bitch 'til I got that bitch, now all I want from her is an abortion My mind filled with distortion, my eyelids say caution Yeah I sold crack to get my soul back, they say it's gon' cost a fortune And I wonder if Allah take debit (take debit), cause a nigga got real bad credit (bad credit) If not I ain't got a whole lot, so a nigga like me just can forget it - HA~!
