[T.I. - talking]
Ay I'm working here, know
what I'm saying
Try to put yourself in my
shoes for a second
Its not personal I'm just
sayin though

[Verse 1]
Ay look
From
when the moon came out 'till the sun came up
I
was supplyin the days when where they flame
up
Our mamas passing, by trying to explain
us
Pissing in the bushes like they never house
trained us
But, try to understand thats how we
came up
You get to know us, you'll love us but
you can't change us (naw)
Really we rather be
rich and famous
But in the mean time were
forced to slang dust
'Dro or crack cocaine,
Penicillin to Rogaine
Ecstacy, Viagra,
whatever'll get the dough mayne
Im tired of
people mis-representing my dough mayne
Oh you
think we out here killing for nothing,
hustling
for no gain (picture
that)

[Hook] (sample playing in the
background)
Hey man I'm just doing my
job
Hey lady, don't mind me I'm just doing my
job
I don't wanna make your life more harder,
I'm just doin my job
You live here, I work
here I'm doing my job

[Verse 2]
I don't
know if you don't know, don't care or can't
see
Every time something up in the hood, it
ain't me
And I ain't always up to no good and
know the crease
And we ain't always gotta pass
through the hood without speaking (how you
doing)
We ain't out here threatining your
lives, raping your children
We just out here
staying alive, making a million (you
know)
Working hard, trying to survive chasing
a mill-ion
You hear us talking loud, just
think of this is chamelion
React to the
situations, but accusations is still
??? and
rise in your house, I mean you just hurting my
feelings (maaan)
We got lives, we wanna live
nice too
We got moms, dads, wise kids just
like you
But I ??? a few, its hell in high
school
When your helping with the rent lights
and the gas bill too
So before you go judging
us loving us won't hurt
Yeah under 25, staying
alive is hard work

[Hook]

[Verse
3]
And for you to see what I'm saying, open
eyes will help
If you could think about
somebody besides yourself
Why you pointing
fingers at me, analyze yourself
Quit all that
chastising and try to provide some
help
Instead of calling the law, you busting
my balls
With all due respect, we don't even
need to be fucking with y'all (maan)
And we
can't help it cause it is like this
We don't
like it no more than you that we live like
this
Hallway, stuck in the grass summertime to
wintertime
Cutting school to sell fifty dimes
by dinner time
See everything we know we
learned from the streets
Since thirteen I've
been hustling and earning my keep

[Hook]
