Day Ones

I steady down for my dogs in my day ones Never switched, never forgot where I came from I'll hold you close to my heart till the day I die And when the lights go out, I'll see you on the other side I'ma ride for my niggas, die for my niggas If someone actin' up, then I'ma slide for my niggas If one of us drop, I'ma cry for my niggas Can never give up, I gotta try for my niggas Was really on the block, tryna find a way out We just tryna get this money, never cared about clout And my nigga like my brother, he can sleep on my couch And if you try to run up on us, you gon' see what we bout We was always skippin' school, out here tryna get rich Wasn't really makin' shit, but we would take what we get One thing about my niggas, they ain't never gon' switch Even if I got some money, they ain't askin' for shit And when it come to hittin' licks, we never snitch, that's the code And when it's time to go, my niggas, they never froze We always got each other, need shoes or some clothes You know I got em' with me whenever I'm on the road I steady down for my dogs in my day ones Never switched, never forgot where I came from I'll hold you close to my heart till the day I die And when the lights go out, I'll see you on the other side And my niggas got my back Whenever it's a problem, they comin' at full attack It don't matter what we got, one of us gon' have the strap And I'ma keep it a stack, none of us'll never lack If my nigga get locked, then I'ma post a bail He only sat up in that cell, cause he refused to tell It ain't his fault, the system just set us up to fail I help my nigga get a job and even get his L's My day ones, if a nigga trippin', they gon' speak up Try to hold him back, but I can't help if you get beat up We come from a city where it's hard how they treat us We be on the block if you ever tryna reach us Them my niggas, them my dogs, them my brothers At the end of the day, I know we always got each other That's always, I put that on my mother We really got it out the mud, out the gutter, nigga I steady down for my dogs and my day ones Never switched, never forgot where I came from I'll hold you close to my heart till the day I die And when the lights go out, I'll see you on the other side
