[Intro: E.D.I.]
Ain't no help, nobody cares
They don't give help to the street n***as
Don't think this world will give you nothin'
You fall, you fall, you ball, you ball you know?
This world don't owe you nothin' (It's the way it go)
Some ask me why I say that again though
This world don't owe you nothin' (Deal with it!)
[Verse 1: E.D.I.]
I can't let go, 'cause the pain is too real
I can't let go, I come from the game cocaine to pills
Late nights fistfights get ya shit right
A young n***a comin' up fast under the moonlight
Lovin' the sound of the streets what's your speed?
Fast cars or broads seem like the shit to me
'Mazed at the way the 'caine control they brain
Make 'em give up they soul, sell they life in vain
It's like a game and the winner is the sinner
A n***a'll risk it all to give his family dinner (Huh)
Penitentiary chances with life, long as hell[?]
Murder, mayhem, destruction, that's the price for wealth
Cry for help and they don't see the pain in the eyes
'Cause the only time they notice a n***a when he clutchin' on a fo'-five
Pointed at the system ready to bust
'Cause he woke up and realized that it's just us
[Chorus: E.D.I.]
Yo it's just us it ain't no love involved
See the system is set up just to see you starve
Better rise up and give your life to god
Control your destiny then let them know who you are
Yo it's just us, I know time's is hard
But believe in the light and it get you out of the dark
They can't stop us 'cause we the chosen the raw
Tired of being held down so we goin' to war
[Verse 2: Dirty Bert]
Now every time I wake up, god bless my soul
And when the hard times face us we stretch the load
Throw on my clothes, hit the road, this life of mine
Full of jail cell crooked cop pipes in crime
Let the sun shine in my grill fresh on the spot
Hit papi for some cigarillos and a blunt for my shot
Twist it up, lit it up, now look at him plot
Free smokin' ass mothafuckas ain't put in on the pot
So I blow odes and walk slow talkin' to Yak
How can we hold dope stop they flow and to' up the block
He cut me off like "what's up shit must come down
On the low bro them n***as can't fuck around"
Touch ground with a fo' pound plant ya dogs
Tuck 'em all in the morgue shit we slam to floss
What's yours is mine and mine is yours
O-U-T-Law so we bring the heat from the door
[Chorus: E.D.I.]
Ey yo it's just us it ain't no love involved
See the system is set up just to see you starve
Better rise up and give your life to god
Control your destiny then let them know who you are
Yo it's just us, I know time's is hard
But believe in the light and it get you out of the dark
They can't stop us 'cause we chosen the raw
Tired of being held down so we goin' to war
[Verse 3: Kastro]
I spend damn near quarter of a century
Free as a bird in this ghetto penitentiary
And it was evident every time I reminisce
My childhood wasn't good I was raised by ignorance
Now I'm stuck in it, lock and key
Sufferin' shit this struggle is me
I've got a chip on my shoulder weighing me down
And I talk to myself but ain't nobody around
So save a prayer, for a young player
Sprung amongst thieves and G's everywhere
Fiends everywhere, sweet dreams went sour
Powder turned to power, cowards talkin' louder
What part of the game? Explain to me
Why deaths and arrests ain't a thing to me
And it's strange to see loved ones bite dust
Ain't no justice this only us
How come?
