Celebration
We back, uh (Barnes)
Some niggas need to be celebrated, huh?
I'ma give you your roses now
That's a fact, though, you heard me? Capo
You gotta watch them higher-ups
they try to trick you out position (Facts)
Build you up, then tear you down once they
Get you in position (You easy)
All them bricks that we was whippin'
They tried to hit us with the sniffin'
I done prayed plenty nights that we
Could get you out of prison (Amen)
'Cause we done been through it all
Talkin' the midst of the crossfire
(What else?) even down at the lot
You smell the rubber from the Porsche tire
(Smell that?)
I'm goin' to court, back and forth acquires
I done bonded with jewelers
I even sat with the raw suppliers
I'm talkin' (Uh) , so many things
That we've accomplished, homie
Even the robberies and when
You been my accomplice (Chill)
We been carryin' sticks with shoulder
Stacks by the armpit (Uh)
I be fresh to death, I see
Angels in my Palm drip, woah
Celebratin' life, celebratin' life
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
We ain't livin' wrong
But we ain't livin' right
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
Celebratin' life, celebratin' life
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
We ain't livin' wrong
But we ain't livin' right
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
Uh, all they wanna do is prosecute us
Shoot us when they ain't gotta shoot us
They kill us
Turn around and then protect they own
Meanwhile, we can't even protect our own
If we try
They lock us up and don't wan' send us home
Next time you see your kids
They be already grown
Only God could judge me, only heaven knows
Gotta keep a weapon close
Or might end up ghost
Try to tell my youngins take a different road
'Cause for that bread, niggas gettin' toast
For that chicken, niggas get you roast
They hate to see you gettin' paid
They wanna see you broke fuck 'em, though
Still up drummin' on your bitch
Give her different strokes
They see you make it rain
Then try to get you soaked
Hate to see a nigga get his own
Movin' forward
So they try to keep you pigeonholed
Celebratin' life, celebratin' life
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
We ain't livin' wrong
But we ain't livin' right
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
Celebratin' life, celebratin' life
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
We ain't livin' wrong
But we ain't livin' right
'Cause where we from, it ain't nothin' nice
