So Gone lyrics
by Missy Elliott
Uh, ha, I'm takin' sacrifices erryday, n*gga
From the work to the work, a big cake, n*gga
These n*ggas glorifyin' sh*t that real n*ggas live
Like the type of sh*t you hopin', God forgive
I'm from the slums, bro, I grew up different
I was that badass kid that had to hit prison
I got my sh*t straight now, it took a long time
Too busy focused on the streets, it wasn't on my grind
I love this sh*t too much, they was tellin' me
I gave my heart to the hood I mean heavily
I'm a different pedigree I say what I mean
Now when I f*cks with all y'all but I spit for the streets though
A lotta strugglin' times they shy away from
A lotta homies ain't homies I stay away from
I've been hated since day one by day ones
My n*ggas gotta feel that, look at yo' day ones
How many still here? How many you f*ck with?
How many jealous are you? The ones ain't got sh*t
Too busy focused on the props for me to sidetrack
b*tch, I'm a money hog, now tell 'em run that
Yeah, the future lookin' bright, too many long nights
Too many arguments, and a lotta fistfights
A lotta bad b*tches, a few ugly hoes
You might regret f*ckin', but still did it though
Look, I ain't rich, b*tch, but I'm gettin' to it
I don't rock fake belts, I don't do fake music
All you n*ggas say you real well what's yo' definition?
You need to take this burner case or I'm back to prison
You gon' get probation, n*gga, my deal fold
I got a strike two, you supposed to be real though
Yeah, I was so gone, yeah, I was so lost
And life a chess game, every move cost
But I got no regrets, I gain wisdom
I won't be disappointed, 'cause I got tunnel vision
All I see is guap, that's all I'm livin' for
That's all it got me... (Oh man, I f*cked up on that on the end, f*ck, man, I was on, aight, I'm ready)
La, all I see is guap, that's all I'm movin' for
That's all I got my attention, that's how you win, bro
I stay burnered up, that's how it gotta go
'Cause I'll be damned if a n*gga catch me slippin' though
These streets is grimy as f*ck, you just'll never know
And if I pull mines out I'm 'bout to let it go, n*ggA!
Dawgie, brrrra!
