Tell Me Lyrics by Hassaan Mackey, Apollo Brown

Daily Bread

2011

[Intro: Sample]
I'm just trynna make it real, baby
Like it is
Maybe this is what you supposed to do
Baby, this is what you grow into
Just, just think about it
Don't throw it out
Just, just think about it
[Verse 1]
They say the music is too loud but Radio Raheem's thing
Is keeping Hassaan attached to his dreams
And from killing one of y'all my man, cause shit seems
Like I won't escape from these dreams
The nightmare on my street is always a reoccurring theme
Arguing with a fiend about a dollar and dream
Who will be a peasant and who'll reign supreme
Who's destined for greatness and who's just insane
In this world full of cream, where money will allow us to be anything
But if you ain't got the spray to help you keep up with the gleam
Whatever you possess is not the brand new thing
And that will provoke you to do things
Opposite the color your mood ring
The streets make examples out of crews and teams
And cliques who be riding round in them thangs
Sitting on rims showing off they change
[Chorus]
Tell me what's up with your life
Tell me how you pay your price
Tell me how you roll your dice
Tell me what's up with your heights and lows
[Verse 2]
Wash my wears at the wash house
Ain't enough Clorox in the world to get the stains out
Same corners with the same plot same route
Hustle hard 'til they try and blow your brains out
Do all the shit in life that you can gain a name 'bout
Let the babies watch and try to take the same route
Yo you gotta be a man about yours
Can't fall for the okie doke and be on all fours
They gave the black man a black pres but what for?
Only to try and blame us more
While we live under the radar fighting the us war
Can't figure it out, what in the fuck for?
Prices on chips escalating at the store
And cigarettes cost what a weed bag cost
Got me hustling hard like I need that Porsche
But it's hard to get one and beat that court
[Chorus]
Tell me what's up with your life
Tell me how you pay your price
Tell me how you roll your dice
Tell me what's up with your heights and lows
