That's The Way It Goes - Maino

Ohhh-Ohhh-ooooh, do-do-do-dooooo-do-do-do-do-dooooo

Oooh-aaaah-oooooh-ooooooh

When I got money, everybody loves me

Ain’t Got no money, some niggas acting funny

And when I’m hungry, they can’t do nothing for me

That’s the way, the way it goes

Cos when I’m home they, say that they my homies

And when I’m gone then, they don’t even know me

Now I’m hot and, niggas wanna show me, Show me looove-

That’s the way it goes

I remember waking up to the sight of steel bars, it was dark

I couldn’t see the sun through the bars, freezin in the cell

I was trapped in these walls, no letter, no girl

Just the comfort of the walls

But the world dah’nt change, since the flow dah’nt change and

Everybody here now, that ain’t no name*

Lord protect me from my friends, I can deal with my enemies

But I ain’t sure who’s a friend or an enemy

Since the Smack DVD’s, everybody lovin' me

But when I was thirsty, they wouldn’t hawk-spit on me

Bitches poppin up, Wow, now they wanna get with me

Fifteen years, same bitches wasn’t missin me

Man it’s funny how, people act funny style

Niggas switch, when they think you getting money now

When the sun shines, niggas wanna come round

But they disappear, when that rain starts coming down

What’s good, different day, same shit

It’s amazing, how success change shit

Now niggas trying to, count what’s in my pocket

They be like «Can I hold», «Nah homie, I ain’t got it» (Damn)

You trying to cling to me, you ain’t deceiving me

And when I started, you niggas, y’a di’nt believe in me

Instead of support, y’all just hated

Said I’m too wild to rap, I ain’t supposed to make it

That’s fucked up yo', but I’m supposed to take it

No you got the nerve to act like, we related

Just yesterday, I couldn’t get a dime from nobody

Couldn’t get studio, time from nobody

Now you’re going to believe me, you told me I’m *wholebody

Did it myselfs dawg, we di’nt have nobody

Hustle Hard, we bout to *E-Ride

These leeched niggas hands out, looking for free rides

Yeah listen

I got family popping up, out of nowhere (oh yeah?)

Got a bunch of new cousins, coming out, all year

If I knew I had, this much love

Might have never hit the street, might have never sold drugs

Might have stayed up in school and, never popped guns

And been a better role model, for my own son

Where was you, when my life was needy

And my pops was high, my momma could not feed me

And the lights was off, and the block would tease me

You wasn’t there, when shit wasn’t easy

Before rap, niggas they’din’t hold it down

Since I’m hot, of course, everybody love me now
