Created during a 90-minute workshop with local artist, Rob Dz.

I’ve been locked up for a minute, 
I’ve gotta get it ‘cus broke niggas make poor decisions.
I’m just tryin’a make a livin’,
stack my money to the ceiling.
I came from nothing,
most a y’all don’t know the feelin’. 
Ain’t got a letter from my girl she be trippin’, 
Ain’t got a letter from my girl she be trippin’,
I swear most a y’all don’t know the feelin’.
When somebody say they run wich you.
The whole time they fake.
Most a them I can’t relate to,
so I gotta play it safe.
Mamma always say don’t let ‘em take your plate,
say I just gotta play it safe,
yeah I just gotta play it safe,
I swear I gotta play it safe.
My mamma told me I gotta keep my head up.
I was thirteen I always head my bread up.
I got tired of niggas dissen I got fed up.
Got tired of the fears bro,
thirteen [inaudible] I caught my first case,
I swear to God it was cray.
An’ I just bust a free style on the end a this bar,
nigga no how I play.
See I’ve been locked up for a minute,
I’ve gotta get it ‘cus broke niggas make poor decisions.
I’m just tryin’a make a livin’,
stack my money to the ceiling. 
Ain’t got a letter from my girl she be trippin’ 
I swear to God I gotta get it.
I swear to God I gotta get it,
I’m a youngn’ and I jus made a poor decision.
Ah.
