All That I Know

My baby want me out the game
But I tell her this is all that I know (all that I know)
I could've took a nine to five
But the hustle life is what I chose (is what I chose)
My team need me on the streets
But my fam' want me on the right road (on the right road)
And now the pressure buildin' up (yeah)
Got me feelin' like I'm 'bout to explode (like I'm 'bout to explode)
(Let's go, yeah, yeah)

Out here (out here), it don't feel like work
I'm a ODB, the new dirt McGurt
I've been at so long (uh-huh)
My skin's like leather (okay)
From the cold, my bones and heart aches together (eh)
I'm a soldier, I represent that two percent
Every tattoo on my body proves who I am (for real)
I'm a Winnipeg boy, that's who I am (peg city)
And my name more feared than the ghosts of Saddam

I'm a monster (a monster)
A peg city vet (ah-ha)
And the goonies, they soldiers
They ain't cadets (for real)
Go and put em' to the test
See you breathe your last breath
We last the last man standin'
They're the last ones left (for life)

Streets is dangerous
Life gets cold in the snow
I told myself, "No more," but I can't let go
These streets is all that I know (ah-ha)
These streets is all that I owe (okay)
And if this rap don't work, player
Guess where I'll go

My baby want me out the game
But I tell her this is all that I know (all that I know)
I could've took a nine to five
But the hustle life is what I chose (is what I chose)
My team need me on the streets
But my fam' want me on the right road (on the right road)
And now the pressure buildin' up
Got me feelin' like I'm 'bout to explode (yeah, okay, yeah)
(Like I'm 'bout to explode)

Every time I leave my house, my girl say that she worry (I love her)
She say she plagued my dreams of my casket bein' buried (uh-huh)
But I'm movin' fast, do the flurry (fast)
Money comin' in a hurry
Plus I drink and smoke kush 'til my vision goin' blurry (uh)
Game got a funny way of pullin' me back
Try to stay on the right side by makin' these tracks (uh)
Get away from the bad life by pushin' them packs
But I'm addicted to fast life, I gotta get stacks

I got this stress on my mind, I can't even go to sleep
Paranoid of the boys in blue, they stay up on the creep, so (five-O)
Even though I'm free, I can't run wild on the streets
'Cause I'm livin' on parole, my P.O. is holdin' the leash (ha-ha)
I'm just tryin' to get my money, have my family livin' right (uh-huh)
Make it through the dark 'til it's sunny, and walk into the light
It'll probably never happen, but we doin' alright
How you want me to leave the game, baby? This is my life

My baby want me out the game
But I tell her this is all that I know (all that I know)
I could've took a nine to five
But the hustle life is what I chose (is what I chose)
My team need me on the streets
But my fam' want me on the right road (on the right road)
And now the pressure buildin' up
Got me feelin' like I'm 'bout to explode (like I'm 'bout to explode)

It's been a long time comin', it's been a long time runnin'
In the ghetto and I love it, 'cause money-makin' is nothin'
My family is who I'm trustin', and nothin' comes over hustlin'
40 cal' comes out when Brooklyn start bustin'
That nickel-plated heart and the puzzle was puzzlin'
And I was bad to the bone and I grew up with them munchkins
And mama used to trip out about how much money kept comin'
I had to watch my back as my money kept doublin'

And it was fast life, young cutty's nothin' but clubbin'
And it was 5-star hotels with the jacuzzi bubblin' (whoo)
And rather than lie, my people knew I was thuggin'
And rather than hate it, my mama, she learned to love it

My baby want me out the game
But I tell her this is all that I know (this is all that I know)
I could've took a nine to five
But the hustle life is what I chose (is what I chose)
My team need me on the streets
But my fam' want me on the right road (on the right road)
And now the pressure buildin' up
Got me feelin' like I'm 'bout to explode (like I'm 'bout to explode)
