[Freeway]

Man Man, if I get rocked, this shit for my kids kids, nigga
It's that real shit... shit

[female singer, repeated throughout the verses]
Even though what we do is wrong... wrong

We still hustle 'til the sun come up
Crack a 40 when the sun go down
It's a cold winter
Y'all winter, y'all niggaz better bundle up
AndAn' I bet it be a hotter summer, grab a onion
Yes
Yes, the ROC gets down, you hot now, listen up
Don't you know cops' whole purpose is to lock us down?
AndAn' throw away the key
But key, but without this drug shit your
Your kidsenter deleted
ain't got no way to eat, huh? eat

We still try to keep Mom...smilin'... Mom smilin'
Cuz'Cuz when the teeth stop showin' and
An' the stomach start growlin'
Then growlin', then the heat start flowin'
If you from the hood hood, I know you feel me ([Jay-Z:] Keep goin'...) me, keep goin'

If a sneak start leanin' and an' the heat stop workin'
Then my heat start workin' I'm-a workin', I'ma rob me a person
Catch a nigga sleepin' while he out in the open
the open...and I'm-aAn' I'ma get him ([Jay-Z:] him, keep flowin'
Keep flowin'...)
We gotta raise our kids while we livin'
Make a million off-a record off a record, bail my niggaz outta prison
Fuck a Bentley or a Lexus Lexus, just my boys in the squadder
Nigga talk reckless reckless, then I hit 'em with the Smif 'n... an'

But I'm never snitchin' snitchin', I'm a rider
If my kids hungry hungry, snatch the dishes out ya kitchen
I'll be wylin' til they pick me outta line-up... line up

We keep the nines tucked, chopped dimes up, rap about it
Wyle out, fuck niggaz up, laugh about it
I'm not tryin' to visit the morgue but

[Beanie Sigel]
...no, Know B. Sige in the third lane
Gramps still prayin' workin prayin', workin' on my nerves man... nerves, man
Like, "Son you gotta get your soul clean... clean
Before they blow them horns like Coltrane..." Coltrane"

But still I cry tears of a hustler
Wipe tears from my mother, pull out beers for her brothers... brothers
That's above us, make beds for the babies
Tuck kids under covers, buy cribs for their mothers
Shit
Shit, I'll probably be wylin' with their fathers
Tell Ms. Robert, tell Enijah that I'm ridin' for her father
That's like my brother, like same mother mother, different father
Any problems dog problems? Dog, know I got 'em
And
An' still we grind from the bottom
Just to make it to the bottom bottom, sold crack in the alleyways
Still gave back Marcy a 'A Dollar Day Day'
Real gangstas make hood holidaysenter added
They ain't thank us but we still paid homage mang homage, man
Soul Food Sunday Sunday, lookin' like Big Momma's mang Momma's, man
Tell the gang I never break my promise mang...mang...unnh! promise, man, man

Even though what we do is wrong
