[Verse 1:]
|
Good plan to be successful in the game
|
U need it
|
But liars, snakes and fake friends
|
U don't
|
Banking safe, stash your money
|
U need it
|
20 cars, 20 cribs, 20 kids
|
U don't
|
Get the power while you can
|
U nees it
|
Concieted wannabe body guards
|
U don't
|
Cause man I dun seen the biggest niggas get beaten
|
But a artist get mugged, shot up and skunked
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
You should get a box of glocks
|
U might need it
|
But west automatics that jam
|
U don't
|
Streets smarts and a cool education
|
U need it
|
Ditching school n getting laid and not paid
|
U don't
|
Ma- braveheart and down for whatever
|
U need it
|
But thinking like a coward being scared
|
U don't
|
You always run to your family when things get low
|
When your friends that was friends, isn't friends no more
|
|
[Chorus: x2]
|
U need it
|
U need it, U don't don't don't
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
A new way of living your life
|
U gon need it
|
The 19th hundred lifestyle
|
U don't
|
An attourney that'll get you out of problems
|
U need it
|
? strikes and 25 to life
|
U don't
|
Buy some things to make you happy
|
U need it
|
Buying too much n going bankrupt
|
U don't
|
Cause man I dun seen the biggest ballers (mistreated)
|
So broke they had 2 come ask me?
|
|
[Verse 4:]
|
Got a good idea write it down
|
U need it
|
Wasting time gettin loaded in the club
|
U don't
|
Listen up forget the luck man, make it for real and never will jus be about ice
|
Glistening up
|
Save a couple of bucks
|
U gon need it
|
But friends that set a day n go to the mall man
|
U don't
|
I remember all the night I was off the?
|
Just think of how fast all my dogs was gone
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
[Verse 5:]
|
Your own business to do business
|
U need it
|
But a boss that won't let u be creative
|
U don't
|
Place to get away and jus relax
|
U need it
|
Locked up for the petty crime you did
|
U don't
|
Something to get you going to feel good
|
U need it
|
Don't be stupid though, every drug
|
U don't
|
Cause you don't wana be the next rich kid od-ing
|
I don't that's why I won't
|
Yo I stay working
|
Yo I get paid working
|
I can go to parties and still get laid working
|
Like car-cop and like R.Jerkins
|
With all the cars he needs
|
I no I don't
|
|
[Verse 6:]
|
He be in the lab making hits
|
U need it
|
But wastin the talents that you got
|
U don't
|
It's funny how life jus changes on you
|
When your so-called friends become strangers to you
|
|
[Chorus: fade]
|
