[TI - talking]. Ay I'm working here know what I'm saying. Try to put yourself in my shoes for a second. Its not personal I'm just sayin though. [Verse 1]. Ay look. From when the moon came out 'till the sun came up. I was supplyin the days when where they flame up. Our mamas passing by trying to explain us. Pissing in the bushes like they never house trained us. But try to understand thats how we came up. You get to know us you'll love us but you can't change us (naw). Really we rather be rich and famous. But in the mean time were forced to slang dust. 'Dro or crack cocaine Penicillin to Rogaine. Ecstacy Viagra whatever'll get the dough mayne. Im tired of people mis-representing my dough mayne. Oh you think we out here killing for nothing hustling. for no gain (picture that). [Hook (sample playing in the background)]. Hey man I'm just doing my job. Hey lady don't mind me I'm just doing my job. I don't wanna make your life more harder I'm just doin my job. You live here I work here I'm doing my job. [Verse 2]. I don't know if you don't know don't care or can't see. Every time something up in the hood it ain't me. And I ain't always up to no good and know the crease. And we ain't always gotta pass through the hood without speaking (how you doing). We ain't out here threatining your lives raping your children. We just out here staying alive making a million (you know). Working hard trying to survive chasing a mill-ion. You hear us talking loud just think of this is chamelion. React to the situations but accusations is still. We vulgarizing you how...hey man you just hurting my feelings (maaan).. We got lives we wanna live nice too. We got moms dads wives kids just like you. But our options are few it hell in high school. When your helping with the rent lights and the gas bill too. So before you go judging us loving us won't hurt. Yeah under 25 staying alive is hard work. [Hook]. [Verse 3]. And for you to see what I'm saying open eyes will help. If you could think about somebody besides yourself. Why you pointing fingers at me analyze yourself. Quit all that chastising and try to provide some help. Instead of calling the law you busting my balls. With all due respect we don't even need to be fucking with y'all (maan). And we can't help it cause it is like this. We don't like it no more than you that we live like this. Always stuck in the grind summertime to wintertime. Cutting school to sell fifty dimes by dinner time. See everything we know we learned from the streets. Since thirteen I've been hustling and earning my keep. [Hook]
