Have you ever felt like, like you never get life? Like you never get right? Sort of like a black sheep Back down, backing ultra dreams like some bad sleep Chasing for the wind but you never win the track meet Oh what a cold world for a broke nigga--it's bitter And life's a bitch, don't hit women so I bit her I struck enough pain let her know I wasn't playin' I was so sincere like Nas first name In Belly, they tell me It's very difficult to see 25 and if I survive it'll probably be with a celly My opportunities are low because my brown complexion floats in the ghetto rather in some heels like Giuseppe's They want me unemployed, until I hit the streets Fulfilling voids of broke D-Boys sellin' weed Fuckin' up my prestige, till I live with the blues BB King or the neighbors of Snoop
That's why I'm in the club like fuck it, though They say it's only one life, life, life And if you say I can't live comfortable Ima tell you that's a lie, lie, lie So while I hold this bottle of Ciroc with a hand full of ass Celebrate the very day that I get past Through the barbed wire So while I hold this bottle of Ciroc with a hand full of ass Celebrate the very day that I get past Through the barbed wire
Have you ever felt like, like you never get life Like you never did right? Sort of like a black sheep Tryna get away from the World stereotype Barbed wire got a barricade on your destiny She desperately in need of some inspiration, see what the people sayin' She gon have a baby then flee from her education At the age of 16, credit card scam schemes See a scar on her eye, boyfriend brutality She will never get by, no how no way Where every recipient, property of the state Housing, Section 8, corner store, prostitute The owner bout to prosecute, the niggas tell her that she's cute Hood rat trashy, six baby daddies And this baby daddy, is new to the family Chillin' in pajamis, waitin' on the first Fast forward spillin' drinks on her fur
That's why she in the club like fuck it, though They say it's only one life, life, life And if you say she can't live comfortable She tell you that's a lie, lie, lie So while she up in VIP pourin' Merlot in the glass Celebrate the very day that she get past Through the barbed wire We are, we are (fine!) We are, we are (true!) Through the, through our (wires) We will, we'll break (through!) So while she in the VIP pourin' Merlot in the glass Celebrate the very day that she get past Through the barbed wire
Have you ever felt like, you finally got life You finally got right? No longer a black sheep Livin' off ya dreams like Christina uh-Milian in the front seat Of a convertible elopin' to get married What a feeling of overcoming the odds It's like I just hit the lottery, my God There must be a God Cuz golly, you done made it through the fight while squabbling Ali Now ya lifestyles lookin' up and you escaped the crooked cops and you ain't have to kill a nigga just to make a couple bucks And she ain't have to go and fuck on anybody for a dollar, making good decisions Got an independent business mind And both of ya'll are steady grindin, doin' it the legal way just tryna make a decent pay on every second of the day But they won't give you the credit, disses out they mouth You must enter the Illuminati just to ball out
In the club like fuck it, though They say it's only one life, life, life And if you say they can't live comfortable They gon tell you that's a lie, lie, lie So even though you overcame doubt and ya livin' ain't bad Know there's a barbed wire that's always in your past Moving barbed wire
