A Million And One Things

Word, this here is real nigga (it's real nigga)
Too real, y'all niggas gotta pay attention
Look, look

This one here's on the up dog
For all my people with bad luck dog
Struggling tryin' to make a buck dog
For all the peeps who ain't with us dog
For all my niggas in Angola stay tough dog
See this from shorty on the real
I'm tired of seein' my niggas gettin' killed
They hustlin' for a meal, nigga hustle for your bills
If you think you need help, holla at me boy I'm trill
If I got it to spend, then I got it to give
But listen man, I know you see the ice glistenin' man
I know it make you wanna go get it bad
But you gotta think before you move partner
Cause it'll make your ship sink and you'll lose partner
I know you hate to take it from a young nigga like me
But I bet you can't name one nigga like me
That's why I'm tryin' to preach my nigga
And teach my nigga
If you don't work you don't eat my nigga

You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it
You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it

Look at you, you're fuckin' up and I can tell it too
What is you smokin', everything a nigga sellin' you?
I know you could do better than that and deserve more
You used to be tight with your game back in '84
All the hoes used to jock ya, niggas used to knock ya
Stay a big shot, motherfuckers couldn't stop ya
Then you went to runnin' round the projects with them junkies
Holes in your shoes and your body all funky
Lips all ashy, eyes popped out
Spendin' your children's checks, takin' food out they mouth
And you get mad with me cause I don't wanna give you a tip
I don't support your habit, niggas y'all grown men
I got kids to feed, I got bills to pay
I got people comin' askin' me for shit everyday
I can't please everybody but I love my folks
If I give you everything baby I'ma be broke

You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it
You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it

Where I stay times is hard for a lot of my peeps
Some of my rounds doin' bad, can't even much eat
Every time I pass through beggin' me for a dollar
Thinkin' I owe them somethin', don't even wanna holla
Nigga who used to be ballin' ain't ballin' no mo'
I can see they life fadin' away slowly but sho'
Niggas who I come up with gettin' full of that dope
Used to care about they self, ain't carin' no mo'
Niggas want me to help 'em, ain't helpin' they self
You must be out your mind if you don't helpin' yourself
Ain't no love lost, I just gotta stay my distance
Gotta keep my mind straight, before I come up missin'
Gotta do my rap thing and make my paper
Mister ain't gon' let nobody stop me from gettin' my six figures
Gettin' my shine on, bling blingin' everyday
If you're not for the right stay the fuck out my way nigga

You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it
You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it

Every time I hit the block it look like it get worse
Make me wonder if V.L. and Magnolia got a curse
My niggas still my niggas, got love for 'em all
I hate to see that monkey ride they back and make 'em fall
Somebody tell me, if I ain't had change and I was broke
Would I get the same attention now I'm in a Lex' four-door?
No, I don't think so
I'd be a equal old nigga, on the set smokin' 'joes
Beggin' people for scrilla, on the real-a
If I could do it then you could
Lay your hustle down and make a way out the hood
Ain't nobody gon' give no handouts I swear
Ain't nobody gon' pay your bills and your house I swear
They don't care, you gotta stand on your own my nigga
You ain't no child look in the mirror you're grown my nigga
Do yourself a favor leave the heroin alone my nigga
And get your hustle on nigga, get it on my nigga

You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it
You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it
You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it
You got a million and one things that you could be doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' shoo-shoo'in'
Get off your ass lil' daddy and go and get it
It's starin' at you right in your face, you ain't get it

You got a million and one things
Man you could be out here tryin' to do somethin' man
I mean, every time we come through man
I do somethin' for my people man
I give the little kids a dollar or so, you know what I'm sayin'?
I try to do things for the football team
Try to take care of my people
Try to show them how to help they self
Cause they got a lot of cash...
