Roll On By (Life)

If you tryna raise out up the gutter, can I ride?
But if you like livin′ in it, my nigga, I'ma slide
I wish I could take you wit′ me but you don't want no whip
See you can take a horse to the water but you can't make ′em sip
That′s why I be chillin' by myself, smokin′ sippin' by myself, by myself
Hustlin′ hopin' I can make a million by myself
I don′t think I'm better than nobody else, jus' don′t do no hangin′
'Cause I don′t know nobody else, like I know myself

Most of these niggas they be crabs, puttin' your back in a bucket
′Cause when you ballin' they′ll help you lose it, and leave you busted
Not to Z-Ro, 'cause I made 'em get gone, y′all niggas
And talkin′ about no paper get the fuck on

Stop coming to our hood nigga tryna kill us
We tryna raise up out the ghetto, nigga roll wit' us
Best to keep us cool, in the mood, off the good, before y′all lose your life
Everybody let me hear you say you love your life (I love my life)
I don't want to die tonight (we live right)
Together we stand, together we fall, together let′s make it and live through it

If you tryna raise out up the ghetto roll with me
But if you not makin' positive moves roll on by
If you tryna bring our people together, let′s roll homie
But if you be poisonin' our children you gon' die
If you tryna raise out up the ghetto roll with me
But if you not makin′ positive moves roll on by
If you tryna bring our people together, let′s roll homie
But if you be poisonin' our children you gon′ die

I'm dry now, don′t need no mo' wet, no mo′ sherm
Sherm it be sendin' niggas to Ben Taub and Hermann
Their first time in the skies, on a life flight
Most niggas be wonderin' why we can′t live our life right
It ain′t gon' hurt you to go to service on Sunday and hear the word
He created me, the least I can do is let him be heard
Instead of killin′ each other, we need to be loccin' up
′Cause if we ain't together, Armageddon, they′ll be smokin' us

No love for the other side
But I still got love and pride for my people tryna get it
They be strivin', struggle, they just tryna hustle
But I ain′t steppin′ on no toes
'Cause haters be ride up blockin′, so we run 'em off the road

Stop coming to our hood nigga tryna kill us
We tryna raise up out the ghetto, nigga roll wit′ us
Best to keep us cool, in the mood, off the good, before y'all lose your life
Everybody let me hear you say you love your life (I love my life)
I don′t want to die tonight (we live right)
Together we stand, together we fall, together let's make it and live through it

If you tryna raise out up the ghetto roll with me
But if you not makin' positive moves roll on by
If you tryna bring our people together, let′s roll homie
But if you be poisonin′ our children you gon' die
If you tryna raise out up the ghetto roll with me
But if you not makin′ positive moves roll on by
If you tryna bring our people together, let's roll homie
But if you be poisonin′ our children you gon' die
