Hey Yo!

Yo SHAM!!!
-Yo,yo,yo!

-whats the deal, son?
How you doin man?
-Chillin man
What you f**kin with that cat over there for?
-He is my nigga, son.
Nahah, don't f**k around with that nigga, yo.
-What you sayin,god?
I know that nigga--
-what? I gotta hold it down for my homes, son
Lemme talk to ya for a second,man, c'mere, c'mere
I been through bullshit, forced to pull sh*t at
the enemy
if I did it homes, it was the end of me
back in the days, I'ma say like around your age
-what makes you figure that?
yo, I used to move the same ways
carying guns, sell a nickle chums to bums
run away from home, running through the streets
with a chrome
-nigga, f**k that, you see I'm livin on my own
-my life is based on the same place and the same
zone
-thugs call me the Don, but never feel my calm
-at the same time you know it's hard for me to
stay on
yeah I'm feelin ya, but at I gotta keep it real
with ya
only when you got dough, niggas wanna be with ya
they feel ya out, find out about your whereabouts
best friends turn enemies, plotting to take you
out
-but it's all good, becuz they show me love in
tha hood
-I got this sh*t locked,don't worry bout it.
lemme cross ya out
Chorus:
Hey yo, I walk by myself,I die by myself
cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn
self
I do for my self,make moves for my self
cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn
self
I walk by myself,I die by myself
cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn
self
I do for my self,make moves for my self
cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn
self
Verse 2:
You see them cats that you run with, they allways

sat me up
-on a fact(?) shining to much
Left you wet up,same muthaf**kas used to friend

got you hospitalized, look how you end up
hooked up to a respirator, body all bent up
your moms callin me at my home,cryin on the phone
why the f**k you didn't listen? wouldn't be in
this position
you still breathing, a chance to change the way
you living
-no more claiming the streets, I got a daughter
to raise
-if i would've listened to you, I would never
have got blaised
-now I'm f**ked up,laying in this bed cramped up
-needles in my arm, thinkin how these cats play
tough
-real thoughts in my head,oh how I showed 'em
love
-f**k it, from now on gotta keep my sh*t real
calm
-plans to move up outta there, and grab my family
to be gone
