New Orleans baby the street called eagle
And everybody's ill yea illegal
People steal cars we steal people
We eat like dogs but we're still people
And even when your lost trouble still see you
And even if your dead broke we are still equal
One time for the little people eat your meal
Don't let the meal eat you
Your running me crazy with this one
And just the other day my nigga Chris killed himself
I pray to god that I never feel the way he felt
Where do we go when theres no help
He figured heaven so he went left
Ya'll know that ain't right
Plus he was high as a plane on that same night
Shit I probably been on that same flight
Shit I probably had that same fight
Twelve rounds come and bells ringing
(i run to trouble, trouble)
Introduced to the game when I was just a child
Mama know the drug dealers straight quit her job
He took his life and along with him I died
Then came my daughter to my bedside
Told me, "daddy, don't cry, I'm alive"
I look her in the eyes and see me with no sins
But this is how the note ends
I have walked a bitter line
Still I look for better times
I run with trouble, trouble...
(Though I look for brighter times)
The tooley poked out the jeans
The coke smell just like a bunch of coffee beans
And everything ain't what it seems
Don't play that game without your team
I will have that red beam on high beam
Wait I think I see one behind me
I ain't jumping in that jumpsuit
I fuck around and check you
Mines under the seat by my feet
Too much whores nigga huh
You never heard that before
Shit, and we stop these snitches at the door
Cut the tail off the rat he wont rat no more
Get trapped fucking with my cheese
Keep shooting till I burn my sleeve
Represent New Orleans like a Florida leash
Steal from the rich so the poor can eat
Or niggas act accordingly
Hey soldier don't war with me
