If you're trying to raise up out the gutter, can I ride?
But if you like living in it,
I wish I could take you with me,
but you don't want no grip
See, you can take a whore to the water,
but you can't make them sip
That's why I be chillin' by myself, smokin',
sippin' by myself, by myself
I don't think I'm better than nobody else
Just don't do no hangin',
cause I don't know nobody else
most of these niggas, they be crabs
Puttin' your back in the bucket,
cause when you're ballin'
cause I made them get gone
Y 'all niggas ain't talkin'
Tryna raise up out the ghetto,
Everybody, let me hear you say
I don't wanna die tonight
Together we stand, together we fall
it and live through it, oh
If you're tryna raise up out the ghetto,
But if you're not making positive moves,
If you're tryna bring our
Homie, but if you keep poisonin'
If you're trying to raise a fight,
But if you're not making positive moves,
If you're trying to bring our
But if you get poisoned and not cheering,
You can hate me now, but lately
I've been wondering why you envy me
gonna be in infinity, hollering,
I can fit three more in the back,
but if you ain't down like four flats
Then you recognize your own shots,
Gotta realize we on the rise, like, yeah,
so please squeeze into the right lane
Cause we comin' and runnin' harder
than something that we might
Swing, better get out of sight,
But if you on the same plane,
trying to live and maintain
Then you can roll with me and Ro,
but no, you better be holding on
Cause we ain't going slow,
we moving in fast forward
but I'm just telling you how it is
I got your back and you got mine,
And be family until the end
nig ga, trying to kill us
Trying to wake up out the ghetto,
Before you lose your life
Everybody let me hear you say
I don't want to die tonight
Together we stand, together we form
Together let's make it alive through it all
you're bout' to get a roll with me
But if you be poison and not cheering,
you're bout' to get a roll with me
You trying' to bring our people together,
But if you be poison and not cheering,
I'm dry now, don't need no more wet,
be sending niggas to Ben -Tor,
and the sky's on the light flight
why we can't live our life right
It ain't gon' hurt you to go to service
on Sunday and hear the word
the least I can do is let him be heard
Instead of killing each other,
Cause if we ain't together,
Armageddon, they'll be smokin' us
No love for the other side,
but I still got love and pride
But my people tryin' to get it,
Strugglin' ain't just tryin'
Steppin' on no toes with haters,
So we run them off the road
Tryin' to raise up out the ghetto,
Before you lose your life
Everybody let me hear you say
I don't wanna die tonight
Together we stand, together we fall
Together let's make it and live through it all
If you're trying to raise up out the ghetto,
But if you're not making positive moves,
If you're trying to bring
But if you be poison and not cheering,
If you're trying to raise up out the ghetto,
But if you're not making positive moves,
If you're trying to bring
But if you be poison and not cheering,
