Album: Kaly Love 4eva

V1
I used 2 cheat off my gurl homework
every day befo skool
until I got jumped n a gang
n started doing da fool...
Trippn out kuz my whole existence
I neva listend 2 nobody
going insane after gettn jumped
squabn wit foolz n da party...
Tryna come up from being broke
not even trippn off da pigz
ditchn skool wit my homeboyz
gankn foolz 4 dey rimz...
Always feeln like no one loved me
gettn whooped by my momz
kuz she got callz from skool principalz
n took off from her jobb...
Tryna put me on restriction
so I can't leave out da room
gettn paged by my homeboyz
not coming home until noon...
Shaken da pigz dat'z on our bumper
tryn not 2 get arrested
ryden on foolz like dune buggyz
kickn up dust n da desert...
Falln out wit da only person
ever loved me n da world
not realizen it was hard
raisen me n my 3 brothaz...
Kickn back n da hood klowning
n da lowryda hittn switches
tryna believe if derz a God
gettn high on da roof trippn...

Repeat Chorus:
Gettn high on da roof trippn...

V2
Finally comen 2 a realization
about what'z all going on
n befo I'm buried up n a casket
I just hope I ain't wrong...
Seeing brothaz be killing brothaz
over frivolous shyt
n when I'm gone I'm leaven a legacy
2 all my ghetto children...
Hopen dat u not n prison
4 slangn dope on da corna
wantn 2 be like deze foolz in moviez
n growing up witout fatherz...
Shaken deze hoochyz gettn pregnant
by a fool bekuz he rich
driven a Lexus after she getz
her income tax return chexx...
Using her kidz as a meal tiket
alwayz shoppn 4 goodz
Leaven her kids wit dey grandma
so she can dance at da klub...
N I'm still mad at Amerikkka
4 what they do 2 our people
n den want me 2 go fight in a war
sayn da terrorist is evil...
Wondern why all my people krazy
Steady maken our mistakez
liven n dis materialistik world
where everybody aktn fake...
Hearn brothaz get shot & locked up
kuz dey don't care n won't listen
Hopen dat one day will rise
gettn high on da roof trippn...

V3
Feeln like God maybe want me dead
n not believen da shyt
n can't find chix who down 4 me
so I don't got no kidz...
Gettn stopped every day by copz
who wanna know where I'm from
taken dey ass on high speed chase
when I'm ditchn da krome...
Alwayz tryna arrest my people
whenever samthan goes down
hearn gun shotz befo dey tell
freeze nigger get on da ground
talkn about I'm n a drug zone
when I stay n da burbz
where white folks be lookn nervous
calln da laws on us thuggs...
Telln my people we need 2 stand up
aktn like dey all scared
brainwashed by da government
dat treat our people unfair...
Lockn up all us blax in prison
n nathan left but our sistaz
turning dey baxx on all us brothaz
being oppressed by da system...
Who be lookn 2 find somebody
isn't down wit bullshyt
n women don't care who dey marry
dey only out 4 yo gripp...
Wondern why dis world so messed up
writen my hommyz n prison
I hear dat God don't like ugly
gettn high on da roof trippn...
