Dead Nigga Blvd. (pt. 2) Lyrics - Me'shell Ndegéocello

You can gain the world 

and lose your soul 

worrying about what you ain't got 

Trying to make that dollar 

trying to make that dollar 

trying to make that dollar 

Lift me up! 

lift me up! 

lift me up! 

lift me up! 

lift me up! 

Lift me up! 

"they say, you're growing up in the rough neighborhood. you're mama's on crack. 

everytime she gets a welfare check - it's gone. 

you ain't eatin' good. you're goin' to school. 

people laughin' at ya 'cause you're dirty and shit... get money square. 

you're goin' to school. you're eatin'... damn, niggas gettin' jealous. 

they want to take your money. so, damn. you got to hold your's... 

can't keep takin' my money, 'cause i'm out here every single day trying to make this money..." 

Lift me up! 

"nah, you ain't gonna take my money. 

and if it lead up to a fight - you gonna fight. 

but then the next time you see 'em, it's gonna be gunplay. 

so you - basically you're defending yourself
