Dead Nigga Blvd (pt 2) Lyrics

You can gain the world

And lose your soul

Worrying about what you
ain't got



Trying to make that dollar

Trying to make that
dollar

Trying to make that dollar



Lift me up!

Lift me
up!

Lift me up!

Lift me up!

Lift me up!



Lift me
up!



"They say, you're growing up in the rough neighborhood. You're
mama's on crack.

Everytime she gets a welfare check - it's gone.

You
ain't eatin' good. You're goin' to school.

People laughin' at ya 'cause
you're dirty and shit... Get money square.

You're goin' to school. You're
eatin'... Damn, niggas gettin' jealous.

They want to take your money. So,
damn. You got to hold your's...

Can't keep takin' my money, 'cause i'm
out here every single day trying to make this money..."



Lift me
up!



"Nah, you ain't gonna take my money.

And if it lead up
to a fight - you gonna fight.

But then the next time you see 'em, it's
gonna be gunplay.

So you - basically you're defending yourself
