How I'm Raised - Ace Hood

I chase that money every day I wake

Oh I keep my pistol on me, yea yea

And I just won’t stop until my family straight

That’s just how I’m raised, Amen

And these niggas got me fucked up if they don’t think I’m grinding

Dude you must be fucked up if you don’t see me shinin

Never runnin to feds who told em my people have crimes

That’s just how I’m raised baby

I done been through hell and back but now a nigga still learn

Hope the Lord watch over me cuz I’mma need his mercy

And I’mma put this real shit and this one in my verse

That’s just how I’m raised

Ain’t never snitched or told on my dawg

Ain’t never copped a plea to get off

Ain’t never testified on no stand

Ain’t never point a hand at no man

I done seen gangstas, niggas turn state

Seen some friends who turned into snakes

I ain’t never took for granted no days

Start getting money, them niggas will hate

Pray every day cuz a youngin do sin

Trap with that 40, don’t need I’m a friend

Rack up a millie then do it again

Copped a Ferrari, I call that revenge

Wake up, I’m thinkin the Lord’s giving

Kiss my lil daughter then hopped in the Benz

Honor thy mother, be loyal to friends

I chase that money every day I wake

Oh I keep my pistol on me, yea yea

And I just won’t stop until my family straight

That’s just how I’m raised, Amen

And these niggas got me fucked up if they don’t think I’m grinding

Dude you must be fucked up if you don’t see me shinin

Never runnin to feds who told em my people have crimes

That’s just how I’m raised baby

I heard them people out there, be cautious

Bitch niggas runnin off like faucets

That’s the type of shit that get you in a coffin

No talkin, that 4−5 sparkin

Get money, no sleep, you crazy?

Hear em hating but it really don’t phase me

Straight cashin, I whip no payments

I make a movie like I know Pete Swaily

All of my life I just wanted to ball

Most of my niggas still dodging the law

Rest in peace to my homies that lost

Word to my fam, I do it for yall

Fuck all you pussies, you haters will ball

When you go broke there’ll be no one to call

You’s in em hustling hustling, Lord amen

Only interested if we talkin money

Clique full of real niggas with me and they all 100

Come now lay me down to sleep

Thank the Lord for every day I see

Told my mama put it all on me

I chase that money every day I wake

Oh I keep my pistol on me, yea yea

And I just won’t stop until my family straight

That’s just how I’m raised, Amen

And these niggas got me fucked up if they don’t think I’m grinding

Dude you must be fucked up if you don’t see me shinin

Never runnin to feds who told em my people have crimes

That’s just how I’m raised baby
