But everythang is still the same in my neighborhood
Niggas frown when you up and smile when you down
And when you change for the betta shife fools stop comin around
I see the jealousy and hatin in the wicked ways
We all lost children, praising paper, smoking our lives away
Got to the point where I could not decipher day from night
She say she love me but all we do now is fuckin’ fight
My conscience fuck with me so much that I can’t eat or sleep
The other side is sellin dope and out there runnin the streets
And even though I’m gaining street fame coming from this rap game
Lustful thinkin and compulsive drinkin is a normal thang
Some get erased and misplaced tryin to win the race
Some try to hold on to their place by smoking with lace
But see drugs and plastic thugs ain’t gone change the hood
I’m smokin skunk and poppin the trunk to make me feel good” —Pimp C - Diamonds & Wood
my favorite verse ever
from my favorite album ever
first time i heard it was the spring of 2005
my best friend got locked up for a year
my girlfriend at the time left me in that same week
another girl claimed that she was preggers by me ( i dont have any kids)
i was out there selling them lil whatevers whatevers
and i had this album on repeat the whole time
this album plus jeezy’s tm 101 were the soundtrack to my life that year
thank god everything turned out fine
