Oh, yeah
I got the perfect song for the kids to sing
And all my people that's-
Drug dealin' just to get by
Stack your money 'til it get sky-high (I just wanna, I just wanna)
We wasn't s'posed to make it past 25
Joke's on you, we still alive (I just wanna)
Throw your hands up in the sky and say
"We don't care what people say" (yeah, yeah, yeah, uh)
If this is your first time hearin' this
You are about to experience somethin' so cold, man
We never had nothin' handed, took nothin' for granted
Took nothin' from no man, man, I'm my own man
But as a shorty, I looked up to the dope man
Only adult, man, I knew that wasn't broke, man
Flicking Starter coats, man, man, you don't know, man
We don't care what people say
This is for my niggas outside all winter
'Cause this summer, they ain't finna say, "Next summer, I'm finna"
Sittin' in the hood like community colleges
This dope money here is Lil' Trey's scholarship
'Cause ain't no tuition for having no ambition
And ain't no loans for sittin' your ass at home
So we forced to sell crack, rap, and get a job
You gotta do somethin', man, your ass is grown
Drug dealin' just to get by
Stack your money 'til it get sky-high
Kids, sing, kids, sing!
We wasn't s'posed to make it past 25
Joke's on you, we still alive
Throw your hands up in the sky and say
"We don't care what people say"
This second verse is for my dogs working nine to five that still hustle
'Cause a nigga can't shine off 6.55
And everybody sellin' makeup, Jacob's
And bootlegged tapes just to get they cake up
We put shit on layaway, then come back
We claim other people kids on our income tax
We take that money, cop work, then push packs to get paid
And we don't care what people say
Mama say, "She wanna move South"
Scratching lottery tickets, eyes on a new house
'Round the same time, Doe ran up in dude house, couldn't get a job
So since he couldn't get work, he figured he'd take work
The drug game bulimic, it's hard to get weight
So niggas' money is homo, it's hard to get straight
But we gon' keep bakin' 'til the day we get cake
And we don't care what people say, my niggas
Drug dealin' just to get by (yeah)
Stack your money 'til it get sky-high
Kids, sing, kids, sing!
We wasn't s'posed to make it past 25
Joke's on you, we still alive (alive)
Throw your hands up in the sky and say (uh-huh, yeah)
"We don't care what people say" (yeah, yeah, ugh)
You know the kids gon' act a fool
When you stop the programs for after school
And they DCFS, some of 'em dyslexic
They favorite 50 Cent song 12 questions
We scream, "Rocks, blow, weed, park," see, now we smart
We ain't retards the way teachers thought
Hold up, hold fast, we make more cash
Now, tell my mama I belong in that slow class
It's sad enough we on welfare
You tryna put me on the school bus with the space for the wheelchair
I'm tryna get the car with the chromey wheels here
You tryna cut our lights out like we don't live here
Look what was handed us, fathers abandoned us
When we get them hammers, go on, call the ambulance
Sometimes, I feel no one in this world understands us
But we don't care what people say, my niggas
Drug dealin' just to get by
Stack your money 'til it get sky-high
Kids, sing, kids, sing!
We wasn't s'posed to make it past 25
Joke's on you, we still alive
Throw your hands up in the sky and say
"We don't care what people say"
