This World - Slim Thug

This world goin' up in flames

And nobody wanna take the blame

Don’t tell me how to live my life

When you never felt the pain

Don’t judge the book by the cover

The legacy is way more than Thugga

Born hustler

Out the Nawf, decided to get rich

Ran towards hard work, now look at all this shit

It’s hard to get when everybody say, «You ain’t shit»

Same street as the bricks, how I’m gon' do this?

Got pissed at bein' passed, looked at as last

Had to get up on my cash, but I couldn’t crash

Old block got locked up, stabbed up, shot up

I was back up at the cut, duckin', tryna chase a buck

It sucks, 'cause you can’t take your friends

Some ain’t made to win

It’s a difference in bein' a boss to floss and to swim

So many in the Penn, movin' too fast

Try to tell 'em, «Slow down,» but men make they own path

Stay G, but please, stay free

It’s too many babies and ladies without they family

This world goin' up in flames

And nobody wanna take the blame

Don’t tell me how to live my life

When you never felt the pain

'Cause this word is such a… um…and when I say, «this world,» I mean it.

I don’t mean it in an ideal sense.

I mean… in the everyday, every little

thing you do.

It’s such a «Gimme, gimme, gimme!

Everybody, back off.

«You know, everybody is likely to be taught that from school, everywhere,

big business.

You wanna be successful?

You wanna be like Trump?

«Gimme, gimme, gimme!»

«Push, push, push, push!»

«Step, step, step!

««Crush, crush, crush!»

That’s how it all is…

Never felt the pain of the streets

Like how the hell my kids gon' eat?

Can’t sleep

Paranoia with my future, stay bright

I’m tryna live this lifestyle for life

Can’t depend on none, all depend on me

Those who have more have more responsibilities

We was raised to be G’s, so fuck it, it’s on me

But when I need help, I be feelin' lonely

Well, all my homies

This world goin' up in flames

And nobody wanna take the blame

Don’t tell me how to live my life

When you never felt the pain

World, goin' up in flames

And nobody wanna take the blame

Don’t tell me how to live my life

When you never felt the pain
