We're in the time where many doors are too hard to enter in 
And many people really ain't worth the mentionin
Thugs, me hugs, and plus a little gentle friend 
Or the mentals if I wile I get antetion then 
Do my drama from court to case 
While others turn they back I turn my hate to faith 
Thats why I'm here, but boo's, any place or date 
If theres tear in my eyes [bad word] to dry my face 
Now thats deep, y'all turned from my fans to my friends 
After the past, I didnt think I could stand it again 
On the streets, me and Miny wonderin shall I kill 
I do for all, when will someone ask me how I feel? 
Ladies, if youre down and my pics on youre wall 
Just pop in this song and wont let you fall 
To all my ladies, got ya letters and I love you to death 
Now I appreciate the breath that the dear lord left

Why do I stand for my fam and put it down for my peeps? 
(Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh, I like it) 
'Cause they woulda done the same for me 
Why do I see my women fallin down and put 'em back on they feet? 
'Cause they woulda done the same for me 
Why do I put it down for the streets and my R.I.P's? 
(Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh, and I like it) 
'Cause they woulda done the same for me 
Why do I embrace the face that sets the mob free? 
'Cause they woulda done the same for me 

With the kindness of people and most dont even know 
'Cause this wilderness was'nt designed to see us grow 
My thugs through the years who've always been [bad word] 
Just know that I take the bullet for you 
Life ain't livin without givin, worth fryin for lyin 
Ain't jack for free, but I'm supplyin if you're tryin 
Have friends before the Benz, respect before a Lexus 
Mama's(Mama's) gave us life, but brotha's have to protect us(Protect us) 
Some wonder why I still got love 
Why I still live in the hood, and why I still share [bad word] 
Why I play with the kids, lose money on clubs
To keep my people off the streets and away from the slugs 
Sometimes [bad word] traps while our sista's get named 
Sometimes [bad word] do thangs, and our queens get blamed 
But I'm puttin things on blast for my women and G's 
'Cause you woulda done the same for me

Where's my ladies who support and understand when 
Yeah I'm tired but I still gotta visit the pen 
I appreciate you love the love I show them 
Woulda want the same thing if I had to go in 
Lost the love of my life over stress and strife 
If I couldn't care for me, I couldn't care for a wife 
So I looked at the Lord and what he said was right 
"Theres obstacles but everything is gonna be alright" 
If you feelin what I'm feelin, lay back and give me love 
So when you see me on the streets or clubs give me hug 
To understand unity, you gotta understand we 
You and I, you and them, them and me, see 
Y'all did for me, now I'll bow for the royalty 
Just to know y'all is the love the loyalty 
Behind every strong man theres a strong lady with 'em 
Behind me I seem to have a whole nation of women

Why do I shout out all my women and adore my queens? 
(Ooooooooohhhhhhhhh, I like it) 
'Cause they woulda done the same for me 
Why do I destroy anything that stops my teams dreams?
