I am addicted to the life, yes I'm addicted to it,
I don't know what happened to me
I was my mama's only boy, supposed to bring her joy,
but I don't know what happened to me
I am addicted to the joy, yes I'm addicted to it,
I don't know what happened to me
I was my papa's favorite boy,
hope they'll be like him
But I don't know what
happened to me
What happened to me,
I don't know what happened to me
I was on the street nights,
and I had that crack up on me
I was on the block nights,
posted like a stoplight
Carrying that stoplight,
yeah I had that scrap up on me
First they turned they backs on me,
then they tried to gang up on me
But I got that pent up on me,
tell them boys to back up on me
Cops frisking me,
trying to get a backup all me day
And the life of the ghetto,
that's how the ghetto ride
I am addicted to the life,
yes I'm addicted to it
I don't know what
happened to me
I was my mama's only boy,
supposed to bring her joy
But I don't know what
happened to me
I am addicted to the dough,
yes I'm addicted to it
I don't know what happened to me
I was my papa's favorite boy,
grew up to be like him
But I don't know what
happened to me
What happened to me
What
Damn, what happened to me
I didn't listen when women died
What happened to me
I needed a plan,
and they had it for me
You seem like trouble walking to me
Trying to talk to y 'all
Why you keep talking to me
You don't even smile
I feel like smiling
I'm on your case
Just cause I am
You don't know me, you don't know me,
and I don't know you
You know what I'm addicted to
The streets is my addiction,
the music's my addiction
That's probably why these chicken
heads can't get my affection
The flow sick,
these rappers can't get my infection
Sixteen bar doctor,
let me write you a prescription
Your flow's sickenin' when
you're sippin' on the
Riesling
My flow's beastin' from the
morning to the evening
Catch me out salty where our
mornings are your evenings
Freak, beast,
evil, cause he put me in position
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
I am addicted to the life,
yes I'm addicted to it
I don't know what
happened to me
I was my mama's only boy,
supposed to bring the joy
But I don't know what
happened to me
I am addicted to the dough,
yes I'm addicted to it
I don't know what happened to me
I was my papa's favorite boy, don't want to be like him,
