Envy Lyrics

[00:06.45] Yo This is going out to all my peeps locked down
[00:12.76] Charlie Rock, LD
[00:14.71] All my peeps who passed away, yeah
[00:21.58] I remember when we used to chill on a hill
[00:24.17] When Forest Projects, used to be Godsville
[00:27.29] Brothers was wilin, others was cool
[00:29.71] Some hit the island, some smoked fools
[00:32.40] Me I chose the life of crime since day one
[00:35.12] 13 years old, already trying to cop a gun
[00:37.79] I never understood why my pops would beat me
[00:40.46] No matter what I did, yo he'd still mistreat me
[00:43.22] That's why I never listened to a thing he said
[00:45.83] And I wasn't just mad when I used to wish him dead
[00:48.75] Instead, me and Ma Dukes kept tight
[00:51.20] Promised that one day everything would be alright
[00:54.11] 14 Years old, cutting mad classes
[00:56.94] Puffing on a bone, breaking car glasses
[00:59.60] Nothing but dreams of cream on my mind
[01:02.14] Shook motherfuckers on the block droppin dime
[01:05.02] Everybody knew Joey Crack represented
[01:07.48] And if I told then I'd take your life
[01:09.21] Hey Yo, I meant it
[01:10.33] That's the way it goes
[01:11.32] When you deal with the real fake jacks
[01:13.63] And get your cap peeled
[01:16.11] Hey Joey, let's just get this money
[01:22.34] Brothas just be wilin
[01:26.88] Hey Joey, you can't trust nobody
[01:33.10] Brothas they been triflin
[01:37.08] Yeah Momma never said life would be so hard
[01:39.68] Sometimes i find myself alone just praying to god
[01:42.45] Hoping that today won't be the last
[01:44.94] I mean, Just the other day this kid I knew got blasted
[01:47.79] (Say Word) Word, it wasn't over no cash.
[01:50.34] It was over some broad who liked to auction off the ass
[01:53.21] He was a cool kid, although we lost him big
[01:56.19] If he was a real nigga, then he wouldn't have got did
[01:58.65] Life's trife, and then you die
[02:00.82] Nobody dies of old age, but in the hands of another guy
[02:04.42] That's why I keeps an alibi
[02:06.64] Juliani wants to see a brother fry
[02:09.58] So I maintain to keep my mind peace focused
[02:12.44] Keep the gat there in case a nigga wanna smoke this
[02:15.08] Times are difficult on the streets of New York
[02:17.35] It's kinda hard trying to hope for and not get caught
[02:20.14] Blue eyes is on my back with intentions of arresting me
[02:22.99] But they won't get the best of me
[02:24.49] Cause riches are my destiny
[02:25.96] Hey Joey, let's just get this money
[02:32.94] Brothas just be wilin
[02:36.82] Hey Joey, you can't trust nobody
[02:43.73] Brothas they been triflin
[02:47.96] No one expected me to blow like this
[02:49.95] What was once hand me downs
[02:51.45] Is now the best of? atanovich?
[02:53.10] Yukon Jeeps creepin through the streets
[02:55.16] Catching the eye of every big booty cheek freak
[02:57.80] Daten rims so shiny you can see your reflection
[03:00.79] Green plush interior, under the seat
[03:03.16] The heat for protection
[03:04.88] Momma look at me now
[03:06.27] Got a house in Long Isle for my spouse and my child
[03:08.72] D.E.L. condos for first impression hoes
[03:11.32] No more holes in my gibros
[03:12.87] Strictly denim and clothes
[03:14.36] Airwaves blasting my latest single
[03:16.84] All up in the Mecca Club
[03:18.46] Making Lucci while I mingle
[03:19.81] Jingle jewels in the face of past enemies
[03:22.86] Eat your heart out son, you never was a friend to me
[03:25.99] Hey Joey, let's just get this money
[03:32.36] Brothas just be wilin
[03:36.76] Hey Joey, you can't trust nobody
[03:43.04] Brothas they been triflin
[03:57.54] Big Joe, South Bronx
[04:02.40] Represeeeeeent
[04:10.68]
