Caught Up Lyrics

Mama said theyll be times like this

So we eight hours like a nine to five shift

Cut from the same cloth my pops had

Split a beach towel

Now we both got washrags

Daddy wasnt home much

Out doing hold ups

Tryna uphold the household and so what

Most of my friends

Aint have daddys growing up

I was lucky I aint peep it

Now Im old enough to see it, YEAH

Thru the window of the benz I reflect

My reflection is someone

To the end i respect

So when I step in front of him

Tho my gear is correct

My connection and loyalty

To hims to the death

My success importantly

I begin to accept

So Im offended

If someone comprehends something less

My obsession is something

I pretend to neglect

Tho my profession was funded

By the friends I connect

Organized confusion Im a mess

When its organized to music im a threat

Yet

Its funny how the same homie

Counting on you for ins

Will be the same phony that got it out for you

Yup

Growing up you use to ride for me

Blew him up he switched sides on me

Damn

We use to call ourselves three deep

Knew him since four

Now he cant get a five from me

Somebody show me the top five

I knock guys under

Six feet when the shots fly

You not fly

Stop by the chopper with a cocked eye

The scope on top

Not by a long shot

Guys cannot dodge

So for future reference

Yall cant get with me

In ya presence

Im past ya'll the rest is history

And the moral of the story

It aint one

So take what you can

From this man verse and paint one

Im caught up

Im caught up in the life

Im caught up in the life

Don't get caught in the wrong

I tote guns but I know it aint right

Im caught up in the life

And the unfortunate likes that goes with it

Don't get caught in the hype

Niggaz caught up in the hype

I'm caught up in the life

Fast cars, fly girls and ice

Im caught up in the life

Im caught up in the life

Im first family you no relation

So no relating to my thuggacation association

Or my gangland affiliation

Face it

That quiet money make it my motivation

You ain't paper chasing

Slow ya pace then

Im use to getting it fast

No patience

Divide the time of the day

By the time that it takes

To grind and get paid

Thats how Im a stay

Notation

Show yall how serious this can get

I got Brooklyn on speed dial

This is it

I got niggaz in the penile

Like this the shit

You think you cold

Til they kill who you chillin with

I sit and kick it with niggaz you idolize

Topic of discussion is you niggaz out of line

The clock tickin they figured was our demise

The block clickin for Trigger & I to rise

Family is sacred

Some niggaz envy the thought of that

Disrupt your brotherly love

All because of that

Stuntin talking bout they ride

How smart of em

I hand pick niggaz a curb

And start parking em

The game killed my homie

Wish i could rewind the time

But

You get to live

Every time i rewind the rhyme

My boy swindle blow it down

Son toke

So now

Noel get left unsmoked

The industry they real stingy

Until then we

Keep spending my own penny

Im still indie

Dope coke credit card

Stick up loansharking

Blue magic on white lines

No margin

Niggaz got slick

Elevated the hustle

Niggaz got rich

Then celebrated the struggle

We talk politics

Everything subtle

We talk dollars

Then everything's trouble

Saw you on the strip posted up

Flippin holding ya dick

Look

You ain't pop nothing but shit

Heard you strapped dying to come

Good come to die

I come leave you sprawled on ya nine

For lying on ya gun

Mister outlaw scared to pop off

Look get out of my sight

You bout as right as a southpaw

And niggaz heard you got bands

I want some

You a target

Marching to the beat

Of ya own drum

Im caught up

Im caught up in the life

Im caught up in the life

Don't get caught in the wrong

I tote guns but i know it ain't right

Im caught up in the life

And the unfortunate likes that goes with it

Don't get caught in the hype

Niggaz caught up in the hype

Im caught up in the life

Fast cars, fly girls and ice

Im caught up in the life

Im caught up in the life
