I Diggidy - YEAR OF RAT lyrics

intro

yo expirience life as I know it, ugh, step in my shoes

verse 1

I wake up to alarm in the morning
today Im into makin moves ayyo Im all in
My break is fast n what is more its poor
I eat it as i listen to Cormega n Im out the door
I catch a bus jump a turnstile take a seat
in the back o the bus the cuts in the breakbeat
in my iriver as we pull up to the subway
i jump a turnstile again, hop a train
the underground is packed and the rats dwell the tunnels
im out in the downtown peddeling the bundles
a 19 y.o. with my mind wrecked
i got the knack of telling a speed user from pot heads
the winter sun is bright but its not warm in it
its cold in the streets so i freeze for a minute
use it to recover my breath, aint nuttin left
for me but to keep on hustling

verse 2

the ringtone on my celular is Nas
switching sim cards for a dealer is a must
i get a call from one my girls uptown
i know we aint seen in a while but honey not now
im headed north to the block where my poppa work
45 minutes on the train for the child support\
we have a chat tho we distant we still blood
hes like u plan 2 have a job? im like nah
i cop a burger at a fastfood
we call it [bad word] cus you know it aint good
calories i dont count cus i stay fit
sweating all day except for the time i sleep
its half past five and i still got jobs to do
take a min out to stop to look
at a cute face honey with her behinds enticing
and im going back to hustling

verse 3

im in a rat race [bad word] the year of rat
losing homeboys gave me the fear of death [bad word] to my block cus its 8 o'clock
my partners cook speed i got weigh to cop, ugh
and so i try to catch a cab
but it seems like nobody wanna drive to where im living at
so i double the pay and jump in the front seat
looking back at my day things that i dun did
im at the place where they produce the product
sum are in it cus they want it and im in it cuz i gotta
and plus the dope is a kind of a big hit
cus getting used to it is real quick
there are a lot of newbies and a lot of the are frantic
about the do they bot to make its similar to epidemic
with a lotta rivals up in the biz
when the five oh catch em they usually turn snitch
this [bad word] is usual type o [bad word] on my block
telling is in the air all around the clock [bad word] get critical - none is to be [bad word] tomorrow i be back at hustling
