Lyrics

Little man he hustle hard standing on the corner put his faith in God

Little man works hard on the corner, relying on faith in God.

Pocket full of rocks pitching off the hard, gotta make it back home cause his baby mom, wont let the younging breathe gotta feed his seed

Carrying drugs, facing pressure from his baby mom, needs to provide for his child.

So he run up on you got 2 or 3 if you ever try to play him he gon cock and squeeze

Prepared to resort to violence if anyone threatens him.

But he all about his money just cop and leave

Primarily focused on making money and leaving quickly.

Thinking about his mama adding on the stress

Thinking about his stressed mother working two jobs.

She working 2 jobs but she making less,

Mother working hard but earning less, adding to the stress.

Daddy ain't around left him in a mess taking care of two houses got him smoking sess

His absent father left him in a difficult situation, coping with drugs.

Link up with a crew so he carry a chrome, active in the streets smell like bullet cologne

Joined a crew, armed, and active in dangerous streets.

Quick to handle beef gang signs for the zone

Quick to handle conflicts, displaying gang affiliations.

If they ever cross sides he gon pop and gone

Willing to resort to violence if loyalty is betrayed.

Grinding everyday wake up and pray

Works hard every day, starts with prayer.

Then he grab his gun in the streets he play

Engages in street life, armed with a gun.

No matter how hard boy don't ever fold

Encourages resilience despite challenges.

Judge him all you want this the life he knows- OBAS!

Defends his lifestyle, acknowledges judgment - OBAS!

Little mama got her own problems

Little mama facing her own problems.

Pretty face cry a lot in silent

Pretty face hides tears, silently enduring heartbreak.

Heart broken she keep riding

Despite hardships, she keeps pushing forward.

Life is hard but she keep fighting

Struggling in life but determined to fight.

Intelligent mind better than the rest

Intelligent mind surpasses societal expectations.

But all they see is what's in her dress

Judged for appearance rather than intellect.

To move up she gotta play the game sometimes involve spreading legs

To progress, she faces compromising situations in her career.

Hate her job and got big dreams, the bright lights and big scenes

Dislikes her job but aspires for big dreams and success.

But everyone who leans in to help always try to slip in her jeans

Encounters individuals offering help with ulterior motives.

Fed up she take a different route getting paid is what she all about

Frustrated, she chooses a different path focused on financial gain.

Daytime she in her school books and night time she on a stripper route

Balances education during the day and a stripping job at night.

Dance for dollars she lost now her sacred parts she toss out

Engages in stripping for money, losing her sense of sacredness.

All she wanted was to be loved sometimes in life it don't pan out- OBAS

Desires love but faces disappointment in life's outcomes - OBAS!
