This for them young-ins goin thru some shit
Tell em' put they problems down and watch em ball out
Living they life but they don't know what to do with it
Cuz when it's time to put in work you ain't gon' clock out
And everyday that you wake up you better watch yo back
See, life is like a gamble you can't have no craps
There's different sides to the story gotta look at that
And even though I'm bout my cheese I can't be seen with no rats
This for them young ins in the hood who ain't got no hope
It's either school or sports, he rather pick the .44
Referees and teachers, steady seen the Po Po
He asking for them phone calls they tell him no no
He trynna see the light while looking at them closed doors
Why the good die young, nobody knows
Everybody gotta choice that's what he chose
I thank God I ain't sleeping on the floor
Let the dice shake, he just trynna hit his point
Trynna get some ice cream but all he got is coins
His enemies rolled up and smoked em like a joint
He just trynna find his way...
This for them young-ins goin thru some shit

There's different sides to the story gotta look at that
And even though I'm bout my cheese I can't be seen with no rats
He thought his life was like a movie he was watching Paid In Full
Should've listened to his teachers when they told him he should stay in school
Trynna impress everybody in the shade cuz he thought he was cool
Gave his life up to the feds now that's something only a fool will do
They was in the wrong field cuz he ain't have no good grades
Told his Momma don't worry cuz they boutta see some good days
Influenced by the wrong people, listen to what dude say
Now he out here trynna fight a case looking for a new date
This for them young-ins goin thru some shit
Tell em' put they problems down and watch em ball out
