Fler:
I stay away from trouble,
but trouble finds me
It’s not my fault
No your honor, I’m not guilty
And if you say I still did it;
well, you made me that way
as a person, you’re only worth something
if you’ve got the bills,
but you’ll be stereotyped,
fucked in the head, and thrown in jail (yeah)
and every night you ask yourself,
if it’s worth this shit, (yeah)
then you’ll be stereotyped,
fucked in the head, and thrown in jail (yeah)
and every night you ask yourself
if it’s worth all this shit (yeah)
Godsilla:
I stay away from trouble,
but no matter what I do,
at the end of the day,
the handcuffs are waitin’ for me
Then real quick,
I forget all the hope I had
and my ass’ll be grass ¹
if the judge gives me time ²
I sit here and ask myself again
if this shit’s worth it
What are the greenbacks for
when you’re locked up in here?
What are dreams for
if you’re not allowed to dream?
If your joy gets overshadowed
by every bad deed,
one regret doesn’t make
the deeds go away
You have to fight like hell
so you won’t end up like a skid, ³
someday, the reversal will come,
then I’ll be driving a Benz
and my marketing agents
will have marketing agents
You’ll need to watch where you stay;
I’ll spit on your hype
I’m on the road and
don’t have time for these whores
You say please,
I still don’t say thank you
There will be problems if the gangsters
are waitin’ at the gas station

Fler:
Is it worth the shit,
I don’t know; you tell me
that’s the way we live life
here on the street
and even at that time,
I got hazed on the playground
‘cause I had zilch;
my parents didn’t have a house and boat
I didn’t have anything,
except me and my Nike Air
and today I’m fuckin’ your women,
spread you legs for Fler
Man, I already told you,
yeah, I’m doin’ my thing
and what the teacher said up front,
man, it didn’t mean a damned thing;
man, this life, it’s easy
like 1 plus 1
everything you have,
his plus yours too, is mine
You can say what you want,
it sounds skitzo
Your mother shows up
at my place to get fucked
Screw everyone in their polo shirts
who hates me boy
I’m the G, I’m wearin’ Cordon Sport ⁴
while getting’ laid (yeah)
You say please,
I still don’t say thank you
There will be problems if the gangsters
are waitin’ at the gas station (yeah)
