Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Somethin' serious, shorty, you know wat it is?

I know you, shorty, you know me
And you know I can't leave these streets
'Cause I mean it's in my veins, shorty
Wish I could stay but for now just pray for me

I know you, shorty, you know me
So hard for me to leave these blocks
Got my head tied in a knot always runnin' from the cops
Prayin' that I don't get caught

You know I push it to the limit
Sun up, sun down, baby, I got to get it
Gotta get it, I gotta get it

You know I push it to the limit
Sun up, sun down, baby, I got to get it
Gotta get it, I gotta get it

Baby girl, you know my situation
I know sometime you get impatient
I be on tha grind, you be at tha house
Probably think I'm at another broad house

Shorty, I'm gettin' money
More than I've ever seen
True Religion jeans, I know you like those
That's why I buy 'em for ya, smile for me

You can't believe them, hatin' b****es
They be lyin' on me, keep a nine on me
You know they plottin' on me
You just keep that p**** tight, I'm comin' home early

I gotta get it, get it
I can't leave the streets
I did'nt choose tha hustle, tha hustle chose me

I know you, shorty, you know me
And you know I can't leave these streets
'Cause I mean it's in my veins, shorty
Wish I could stay but for now just pray for me

I know you, shorty, you know me
So hard for me to leave these blocks
Got my head tied in a knot always runnin' from the cops
Prayin' that I don't get caught

You know I push it to the limit
Sun up, sun down, baby, I got to get it
Gotta get it, I gotta get it

You know I push it to the limit
Sun up, sun down, baby, I got to get it
Gotta get it, I gotta get it

Pray for me pray for me

Streets keep callin'
The block keep on watchin'
You're my shorty, hopin' you stay down
Be with me win or lose

Girl, my heart is always with you
Don't get confused
Just hold me down
I promise that we'll make it through

I'm gettin' money 24/7, life as a hustler
They wanna throw away the key and lock a n**** up
I remember when they put me in handcuffs

I look you in tha eye, shawty, what you cryin' for?
I'll be out in the morning, baby, post bail
Get your hair done
'Cause I'm comin' straight over there

I trust her with tha money, shorty so real
I put them diamonds on her, just to show I care
You stuck with a n**** in and out of jail
I know you love me, baby, I put you through hell

I gotta get it, get it
I can't leave the streets
I didn't choose tha hustle, tha hustle chose me

I know you, shorty, you know me
And you know I can't leave these streets
'Cause I mean it's in my veins, shorty
Wish I could stay but for now just pray for me

I know you, shorty, you know me
So hard for me to leave these blocks
Got my head tied in a knot always runnin' from the cops
Prayin' that I don't get caught

You know I push it to the limit
Sun up, sun down, baby, I got to get it
Gotta get it, I gotta get it

You know I push it to the limit
Sun up, sun down, baby, I got to get it
Gotta get it, I gotta get it

You know I push it to the limit
Sun up, sun down, baby, I got to get it
Gotta get it, I gotta get it

I know you, shorty, you know me
And you know I can't leave these streets
'Cause I mean it's in my veins, shorty
Wish I could stay but for now just pray for me

I know you, shorty, you know me
So hard for me to leave these blocks
Got my head tied in a knot always runnin' from the cops
Prayin' that I don't get caught

I know you, shorty, you know me
And you know I can't leave these streets
'Cause I mean it's in my veins, shorty
Wish I could stay but for now just pray for me

I know you, shorty, you know me
So hard for me to leave these blocks
Got my head tied in a knot always runnin' from the cops
Prayin' that I don't get caught
