Dancing With Drugs Lyrics

We live like mice in cages, run through mazes

While under the thumb of police surveillance

It feels like life hates us

But life's a bitch, so you put it on the corner and let it earn your wages

We rot on the corners, but we learn a lot on the corners

Play the game hard, all four quarters

For the love of our corner, we protect its borders

And anyone tryin' to cross is gettin' sent to the coroner

These black suits try to fuck with our grassroots mentality

I'm playin' Mickey, now I'm just lookin' for my Mallory

Hold the pistol like this, babe, be my lady cavalry

Ain't nobody fuckin' with you, ma, you can count on me

And believe, trust is all I ask

Please don't let these outsiders violate what we have

'Cause I shoot from the hip, I cock it and squeeze it

I give you the truth, it's up to you whether or not you believe it

She hollered, "I don't want it, I just need it."

And I told her, "Of course I under-dig."

She wants to know if there's more and where she can get it

And, baby, that's just how we live

She hollered, "I don't want it, I just need it."

And I told her, "Of course I under-dig."

She wants to know if there's more and where she can get it

And, baby, that's just how we live

We tryin' to live the dream and multiply the cream

But money's like T.O., it just divides the team

It finds the seams then it starts rippin' at the stitches

The whole block shook, wonder who the fuck snitchin'

It's a given, shells will fly once the first arrest is made

Girlfriends cry and all the grandmothers start to pray

Nigga make a couple phone calls 'fore he take the ride

Tell his Pippen play the point and bring out the 4-5

Nigga on his way to jail with no Paris Hilton paparazzi

Came home just in time to help niggas chop the bodies

They was foul 'fore jail, did dirt wherever they went

Had the white couple tied up in the basement

Goin' through they credit cards

The way they set it off it's like these niggas feel indebted to the jail bars

Did them a service, I call it like I see it

'Cause these niggas is sick and they refusin' the treatment

She hollered, "I don't want it, I just need it."

And I told her, "Of course I under-dig."

She wants to know if there's more and where she can get it

And, baby, that's just how we live

She hollered, "I don't want it, I just need it."

And I told her, "Of course I under-dig."

She wants to know if there's more and where she can get it

And, baby, that's just how we live

My mom said she can't stand the way I'm livin'

I'm killin' her slow, just call me Stewie Griffin

I spent years on the corner and I can't get 'em back

Left beers on the sofa and I slept on my back

I know enough to know what the cops are here to get

And I know enough to tell the cops I don't know shit

I don't play dumb, I play Rain Man

Old school Boston, Johnny Damon caveman

Billy Costigan, you Costello's are rattin'

'Cause every fall another nigga drops like the new Madden

Two wagons, one's the band, the other's for the drinkers

Either jump on or fall out right into the clinker

I sobered up to try to get those Oprah bucks

You floss around me, homie, you must be coconuts

'Cause any cash in your pockets, that's my doe

And you couldn't save that money if you switched to Geico

She hollered, "I don't want it, I just need it."

And I told her, "Of course I under-dig."

She wants to know if there's more and where she can get it

And, baby, that's just how we live

She hollered, "I don't want it, I just need it."

And I told her, "Of course I under-dig."

She wants to know if there's more and where she can get it

And, baby, that's just how we live
