So Many Places

I've been so many places (all around the world)

So many unfamiliar faces

Ohhh I pray every day (every day, every day)

To keep from goin crazy

(2x)

Well what do ya know? We still here

but we still strugglin tryin to come up on that almighty dollar

Do the damn thang and I've got to maintain, try not to go insane

Every day, I'm facin compilations

Motions I've been in the gauge, temptations of the faith

Snake in the grass

I'm keepin my eye on y'all, won't let nobody hold me back

I never did figure that in my life that it could be this real

Never did figure that bein a rapper would be so hard, oh God

But now that I'm seein the light

As soon as I open my eyes for the first time I realize I gotta die

And life don't last forever

And fast livin make you crazy if you, suck up too much

Trust me, I done seen enough (seen enough)

I've been so many places (all around the world)

So many unfamiliar faces

Ohhh I pray every day (every day, every day)

To keep from goin crazy

Done hustled all through this world, I'm really not doin it for fun

Don't worry about me a hand I see, I take it and run

And maybe we can chill out, hit a couple of yo' spots

Have some we can pass out, if not, bye-bye

Cause I got another show, some up for dough

Need to borrow my thugs, some and then we blow

And then it's on the next CD

Thugs get it all then it's easy, one of you got it then I know you feel me

That's why you gotta get your hustle, on

Everybody get the money, yeah

Got the money, reach for thousands, mmm

Got them thousands, reach for millions, y'know

I've been so many places (all around the world)

So many unfamiliar faces

Ohhh I pray every day (every day, every day)

To keep from goin crazy

Now I done traveled around the globe

witnessed some things that I wouldn'ta seen

Me and my team chasin green

runnin this Earth, tryin to live our dream

What I've seen would make the average person, run, quit and hide

And you know I'm down for the ride, I had to choke it and swallow my pride

I hate to admit it but dawg I love my material thangs was what I was after

Who woulda thought about bein a rapper? All of the coaches I captured

I got, caught in the rapture, assumed it was written

Keepin women, poverty stricken

it seems like the whole world's takin a strippin

I don't know why, and I don't know what it is

All the crazy thangs I done did brought me closer to my kids

No more bailin by my lonely, that story but I'm thorough

Me and my dogs runnin this planet, it's just us against the world, c'mon

I've been so many places (all around the world)

So many unfamiliar faces

Ohhh I pray every day (every day, every day)

To keep from goin crazy

You niggaz don't really know me, not one of my homies wanna control me

Control these nuts, I'm goin home

Come and hold me, you get one of the twins to come and fold me

Hallelujah! Only one, sacred and holy

Phony love, how they givin it only

One of them choked, thick black billie clubs with LAPD whuppin on me

Yo' bitch was strippin down in San Diego

She only in it for the money, but we all in it for somethin though

And she really loved Tony, some thick-dicked yellow nigga

He lived in the basement and he sell weed to the drug dealers

Been around the hood and now you're motherfuckin eyed

Rather die than to be caught up in deception and lies, word to the wise

I've been so many places (all around the world)

So many unfamiliar faces

Ohhh I pray every day (every day, every day)

To keep from goin crazy
