Paid Off E-40 (Ft. Stresmatic)

[Chorus: Stressmatic]
They turned our lights off and they stayed off
We all stressed out, my granny laid off
Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off
I stayed on my grind and it paid off

[Verse 1: E-40]
Taking advantage of their time on earth
Where they ask questions last and blast first
Ain't never prayed or went to church
Hecka confusing to the old heads, scratchin' their heads
Like "who the fuck raised these motha fuckin' kids?"
"Where their daddys and their uncles at?"
Aunties too active, her booty fat
Hella youngstas from the trap already hit that
'Cause she on dope, she'll suck you up for a hubba sack
The streets are his family, he had to raise himself
After his granny passed, there was no one else
It's barbaric out here, you gotta watch your guys
Where I reside, you gotta have six eyes
Two on the sides, two on the front and back
In case they sneak attack, keep a gat so you can bust back
I don't like too many people, people evil
I'm tryin' to go legit, I'm tired of livin' illegal

[Chorus: Stressmatic]
They turned our lights off and they stayed off
We all stressed out, my granny laid off
Some of my partners got years, can't take a day off
I stayed on my grind and it paid off
