Lyrics

I'm so tired of the dope game But I know it won't change Why they wanna take my life We keep looking for the upside But you know we down bad Mixing 2 wrongs ain't right Like we pushing through some hard times

I'm weary of the drug trade, but I realize it's unlikely to transform. People are after my life, yet we persist in seeking positive outcomes. Mixing two wrongs doesn't make it right, and we're enduring tough times.

When you know the bill late Dame I know we struggle sometimes

Dealing with overdue bills and acknowledging life struggles.

But it's all about the better days in the hood

Focusing on the hope for better days in the neighborhood.

It's all about this life and how you jug

Emphasizing the importance of the street life and how one maneuvers through it.

That's all I Know Ya

Expressing a limited understanding or awareness of life.

That's all I know  Ya

Reiteration of a limited understanding or awareness of life.

Why fight if they kill us again We all know how this story is going end

Questioning the point of resistance when the outcome is predictable – death. Acknowledging the repetition of a tragic narrative.

They Killing our  people  diluting our souls let the real represent

Addressing societal issues, including violence against the community and the need for genuine representation.

On top of the world they speaking in Mics

Observing those in power who use microphones but lack substance in their messages.

And they ant really saying shit Divided our power they killing my people

Criticizing the division of power and its impact on the speaker's community.

Politicians hit or miss,  Rebuilding  my people so we can live equal get the money run it up

Commenting on the hit-or-miss nature of politicians and the need for rebuilding the community for equal living.

Been down too long our time is now reparations ain't enough Pull off with my shorty stay gripping a 40

Highlighting the long period of suffering and the urgency for reparations. Ready to face challenges with a loved one.

Hollow points hit ya man

Describing the impact of violence with hollow-point bullets.

Like crabs in a bucket we fight over nothing

Using a metaphor of crabs in a bucket to depict infighting instead of cooperation.

Instead of helping the next man

Expressing frustration about people fighting instead of helping each other.

Confused by the friends that I like

Expressing confusion about the authenticity of friends.

I'm tired of the shaking da faking da hating

Tired of deception, pretense, and animosity influencing the speaker's life.

That's running this game it's hurting my brain

Reflecting on the negative impact of certain elements in the speaker's environment on their mental well-being.

I'm trying to maintain and do it again

Striving to maintain composure and overcome challenges repeatedly.

Condensed down by the system

Feeling oppressed by the system and facing unfair legal consequences.

Plea bargains non acquitted Counterfeited how we living Black and white  Hidden feelings

Discussing legal issues such as plea bargains, non-acquittals, and the emotional toll of living in a racially divided society.

I'm so tired of the dope game

Repeating the weariness of the drug trade.

But I know it won't change Why they wanna take my life

Reiterating fatigue with the drug trade and questioning why there is a threat to the speaker's life.

WE keep looking for the upside

Continuing the search for positive outcomes despite facing adversity.

But you know we down bad

Acknowledging the challenging situation the speaker is in.

Mixing 2 wrongs ain't right Like we pushing through some hard times

Emphasizing the wrongness of combining two negative actions, akin to facing difficult times.

When you know the bill late Dame I know we struggle sometimes

Dealing with financial difficulties and recognizing occasional struggles.

But it's all about the better days in the hood

Remaining optimistic about better days in the neighborhood.

It's all about this life and how you jug

Reiterating the importance of navigating life and its challenges.

That's all I Know Ya

Reiterating a limited understanding or awareness of life.

That's all I know  Ya

Reiteration of a limited understanding or awareness of life.

I'm so tired of the dope game  dope game ya

Expressing weariness specifically with the drug trade.

I'm so tired of the dope game  dope game ya

Repeating weariness with the drug trade.

I'm so tired of the dope game but I know it want change why they want to take my life   Young Wag BCT East Tx Thang Swag let's go

Reiterating fatigue with the drug trade and questioning the desire to take the speaker's life. Identifying the artist, location, and style.
