Eightball - All 4 Nuthin' lyrics
rate meChorus<br />
A man would die a thousand times<br />
Before he reach one with soul<br />
The one he beathes will be his last breath<br />
Or does any one ever known<br />
He died with his riches in the streets<br />
Because game, is all that he knows<br />
Sacrifice his life for the paper<br />
And that's just how the story goes<br />
You do it all for nothin'<br />
<br />
6:30 in the mornin' my mama wakin' me up<br />
Tellin' me to get ready for school, or she gon' kick my butt<br />
Iron my jeans till they creased, put on nikes and a fleece<br />
She thinks I'm goin' to school, but I'm headed for them streets<br />
Before 12 am, I done did more shit than a marine<br />
Fall up in the school house, high off them greens<br />
Hoes bobbin', who that young nigga with the Figero<br />
They call him big Ball, but his real name is Primrol<br />
4th period, american history ain't too interestin'<br />
My beeper blowin' up, my homies havin' a smoke session<br />
30 minutes later, I'm stadnin' on the avenue<br />
Duck pulled up in the cut, thang<br />
Askin' me what I wanna do<br />
Jumped in the ride, fuck this shit, I ain't hesistatin'<br />
Trees, and chedddar cheese, keepin' me from graduatin'<br />
Hoes and clothes,<br />
Big bones, and vogues<br />
Young nigga puttin' in work,<br />
Superstar of the ghetto<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
Summertime, every weekend the club packed<br />
After 10, if I don't hit ya back, that's where I'm at<br />
Me and my folks get mad love from the freaky hoes<br />
Sleaky hoes, right up under they nigga nose<br />
I'm at the bar gettin' lifted scopin' out the crew<br />
Niggaz chillin' after a hard week of payin' dues<br />
North Memphis niggaz<br />
Dick from Hollywood to Douglas<br />
On the dance floor, provin' that they hood the roughest<br />
South side, and cast day and niggaz will rob you quick<br />
Reposess what you posess like it was they shit<br />
But I was a player, to all the players in other hoods<br />
From dicks and hoes<br />
From Fraiser back to Westwood<br />
Now I'm 19, my job is to supply the fiends<br />
Cook the rock, morphine, or a bag of green<br />
Posted at my mom's house when in the came the door<br />
Black suits and search warrants and I'm the nigga they lookin' for<br />
<br />
Everybody wants to live the life<br />
The good life that was seen<br />
Nobody wants to pay the price<br />
But we want to live a life that's free<br />
Why would they make such a thin line<br />
Even below we're livin' it<br />
For the life, I would do anything<br />
Then do it all, then do it all<br />
All for nothin'<br />
<br />
All for nothin' <br />
All for nothin'<br />
Sometimes, we do it all for nothin'<br />
All for nothin' <br />
All for nothin'<br />
Sometimes, we do it all for nothin'<br />
All for nothin' <br />
All for nothin'<br />
Sometimes, we do it all for nothin'<br />
All for nothin' <br />
All for nothin'<br />
Sometimes, we do it all for nothin'<br />
<br />
I'm 25 now, been gone away for 5 strong<br />
And so much shit has changed around my mama's home<br />
My P-O, said a nigga can't achieve pay no more<br />
The justice system tryin' to play me with revolvin' door<br />
Violate parole and I'll be facin' time again<br />
In the penn, tell me how a nigga supposed to win?<br />
I hit my niggaz up who turned me on back in the game<br />
Finally came across some hedges and a quarter thing<br />
So much has changed, these young niggaz be snortin' cocaine<br />
Shootin' up heroin, and shootin' niggaz for ghetto fame<br />
I gotta lace my boots and wade through the muddy waters<br />
Prey on flesh, so I can feed my sons and daughters<br />
Ain't no love, niggaz hate to see another bubble<br />
At the club sittin' on chrome<br />
Brother playin' trouble<br />
Cheefin' hay, before I knew it steel was in my face<br />
I went for mine now I'm restin' in a better place<br />
<br />
Chorus
