Appreciate Me Young Buck

[Intro]
We just products of our environment, you dig?
Survival is the mission and success is the reward, niggas, yeah

[Chorus]
Kill or be killed, we was raised this way
Either eat or get ate, gotta live this way
Is you real or you fake? Ain't no in-betweens
Can't let this white man world fuck up a nigga dreams
I got bills and they late, sellin' weight to these fiends
Say it's love but it's hate, this shit ain't what it seems
Ain't no in-betweens (Ain't no in-betweens)
So in this white man world, can't let 'em fuck up a nigga dreams
Appreciate me
Fuck 'em, I done came up from nothin'
In these projects still hustlin', motherfucker
The ghetto appreciate me
Always got my name up in somethin'
And they know how I'm comin', they tryna fuck up a nigga dreams

[Verse 1]
Homicide had no clue
Better hope that they catch him before I do
Put a seed inside these motherfuckin' projects and it grew
Had to get up out these motherfuckin' projects so I flew
And everybody ain't gon' keep it solid, you gotta push through
Watched how drivin' with no license turned into an indictment
Seven misdemeanors sent a nigga back on violation
Watch them tears start to fall, she was full of excitement
It's her birthday, and her husband's handcuffed in y'all's station
Food stamps for sale, who got some food stamps for sale?
She just tryna feed the kids, you know, while you rot in jail
And this judge wanna judge me but you not from here
Do you know how many people got shot this year? (Buckshots)
