for the cops, on my way to the topAin't no reason to
even question if I'm rugged or notI saw the neighborhood
stars drivin' our favorite carsSee they out gettin'
theirs, so now we tryin' to get oursThrough a neighborhood
tours, goin' through neighborhood warsGettin' bigger
doors, mixin' this neighborhood sportWe had a powerful
team, doin' powerful thingsThe American dream,

it's for my whole familyThis is for all of y'all,

someway, somehowGet mines,
get yours, get up, get downSometime,
someday, someplace, some townIt's starts,
with us, right here, right nowAmidst the dangerous
days, and the dangerous nightsThe lost wages and the
salary heightsI stayed out of harms way,
helped my family to fightWhen I slipped into darkness,
they brought me back to the lightPray to the Lord above
for added insightA man confronted with these challenges
in his lifeTo the ladies I might,
be the compassionate typeCome see if it's real and
feel what my action is likeRight,

for a king, is how rich'll beYou tryin' to win,
get a piece of this victoryAnd don't ask about my past,
