They Got Us lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, my n*gga holla "bang bang" as the coppers pass
'Cause just the other day they tried to rob the stash
Jammed up his cuz, now he called from the pen
They got him praying for his bail so they won't take his kids
'Cause his baby momma act out, she'd done backed out
Sold everything in the house 'cause she cracked out
He turned to me, so much pain in his eyes
Like he ain't know being black and poor came with a price
He took a toke as if it eased his mind
His nose running heavy 'cause he geeking lines
Clientele pulled up in a beamer truck
Served the driver, and he said to me "they got us all f*cked up"

[Hook]
When this storm gon' settle?
I can't hurt forever
How can I do better now?
They got us all f*cked up
Break my back for nothing (for nothing)
Lock me up for struggling
Only God can judge me now
They got us all f*cked up

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I need a nasty freak to shake that ass for me
She said "What's happenin', what's up, yeah, this ass ain't free"
I got a friend if you want her, wait, I could phone her
Everything half price 'cause Christmas around the corner
Since the recession, it's been hard if you strippin'
'Cause n*ggas pay to get in, but n*ggas ain't tippin'
She's short on rent, the landlord trippin'
Tired of eating noodles that taste like chicken
Don't really like hoein', ain't hard to tell
But when all else fails, pus*y always sell
The song stop spinnin' and her time was up
Snatch the money off the floor and said
"They got us all f*cked up"
[Hook]
When this storm gon' settle?
I can't hurt forever
How can I do better now?
They got us all f*cked up
Break my back for nothing (for nothing)
Lock me up for struggling
Only God can judge me now
They got us all f*cked up

[Verse 3]
I had a partner called Pimpin'
Had hella women, say he raw dog chicks and never ever went to clinic
Now he thinks something wrong and he scared to check
He got a girl that he claimed never cared for sex
So he slept on her, crept on her, sometimes he even
Pushed her down and he stepped on her
One of his cutty buddies called him, and it got him freaked
Say she had a checkup and she got HIV
Claim it's all his fault, screamin', raised her hands
'Cause she got two kids, and what about her man?
He thought about his girl, hopped out his truck
Called her phone and said as low as he could
"I got us all f*cked up"

[Hook]
When this storm gon' settle?
I can't hurt forever
How can I do better now?
They got us all f*cked up
Break my back for nothing (for nothing)
Lock me up for struggling
Only God can judge me now
They got us all f*cked up
