That's The Way It Goes
(专辑: The One And Only - 2008)
When I
got money, everybody loves me Ain't got no money, some niggas acting funny And when I'm hungry, they can't do nothing for me That's the
way, the
way it goes Cos when I'm home they say that they my homies And when I'm gone then they don't even know me Now I'm hot and niggas wanna show me, show me love And that's the
way it goes I
remember waking up to the
sight of steel bars, it was dark I
couldn't see the
sun through the
bars freezin in the
cell, I
was trapped in these walls no letter, no girl, just the
comfort of the
walls But the
world don't change, since the
flow don't change and Everybody here now, that ain't no name Lord protect me from my friends, I
can deal with my enemies But I
ain't sure who's a
friend or an enemy Since the
Smack DVD's, everybody loving me But when I
was thirsty, they wouldn't hawk-spit on me Bitches poppin up, wow, now they wanna get with me Fifteen years, same bitches wasn't missin me Man it's funny how, people act funny style Niggas switch, when they think you getting money now When the
sun shines, niggas wanna come around But they disappear, when that rain starts coming down When I
got money, everybody loves me Ain't got no money, some niggas acting funny And when I'm hungry, they can't do nothing for me That's the
way, the
way it goes Cos when I'm home they say that they my homies And when I'm gone then they don't even know me Now I'm hot and niggas wanna show me, show me love And that's the
way it goes What's good, different day, same shit It's amazing, how success change shit Now niggas trying to count what's in my pocket They be like "Can I
hold", "Nah homie, I
ain't got it" (Damn) You trying to cling to me, you ain't deceiving me And when I
started, you niggas, you ain't believe in me Instead of support, y'all just hated Said I'm too wild to rap, I
ain't supposed to make it That's fucked up yo', but I'm supposed to take it No you got the
nerve to act like, we related Just yesterday I
couldn't get a
dime from nobody Couldn't get studio, time from nobody Tyco believed in me, told me I'm wholebody Did it by ourselves dawg, we didn't have nobody Hustle hard, we 'bout to E-Ride These leeched niggas hands out, looking for free rides When I
got money, everybody loves me Ain't got no money, some niggas acting funny And when I'm hungry, they can't do nothing for me That's the
way, the
way it goes Cos when I'm home they say that they my homies And when I'm gone then they don't even know me Now I'm hot and niggas wanna show me, show me love And that's the
way it goes Yeah listen I
got family popping up, out of nowhere (oh yeah?) Got a
bunch of new cousins, coming out, all year If I
knew I
had this much love Might have never hit the
street, might have never sold drugs Might have stayed up in school and never popped guns And been a
better role model for my own son Where was you when my life was needy And my pops was high, my momma could not feed me And the
lights was off, and the
block would tease me You wasn't there, when shit wasn't easy Before rap, niggas they didn't hold it down Since I'm hot, of course, everybody love me now When I
got money, everybody loves me Ain't got no money, some niggas acting funny And when I'm hungry, they can't do nothing for me That's the
way, the
way it goes Cos when I'm home they say that they my homies And when I'm gone then they don't even know me Now I'm hot and niggas wanna show me, show me love And that's the
way it goes
