Pass Me By

Dear Mrs. Bill Collector,
I know you're just doing your job, don't mean to disrespect ya
But we been going through this thing since way back
I told you when I get the dough, I would pay back
But I got problems, baby
Yeah, if you only knew
I got bigger problems, baby
Yeah, hey
So why you talking bout the money that I owe?
Like, as if I didn't know
Man, it don't mean nothing to me
Cause' right I know I got my little boy crying
and my Grandmother dying
Could you please stop fucking with me?
Listen here, I ain't looking for no tears
But my Brother got a year and my Momma keep smoking that shit
On top of that, I'm broke
Please put that in your notes for the next one
And call me up, talking that shit
So life, don't pass me by
Cause sometimes, it'll leave ya stuck
Don't ask me why, why
Gotta keep this train moving
No time to cry
So lonely days, I'll say goodbye
Gotta live for today
So life, it won't pass me by
Cause sometimes, it'll leave ya stuck
Don't ask me why, why
Gotta keep this train moving
No time to cry
So lonely days, I'll say goodbye
Gotta live for today
So life, it won't pass me by
Dear Mr. Police Man,
Hey, am I wrong or ain't you supposed to keep the peace man?
I could've swore that I was driving pretty peaceful
So why the hell is you pulling over me for?
Is it this black Mercedes?
Oh, no, I get it, I get it, I get it
Or cause' I'm black
Hmm, maybe?
Yeah, hey
Tell me why my hands start sweating and I hold my breath
Every time that you get behind me?
I turn my music down so you won't hear a sound
Man, I'm nervous like I got a couple pounds on me
You pull me over
You frown on me
With your flashlight, tell me what do you see?
Thug niggas, drug dealers, it's a trip
Every nigga in this whip got a mothafuckin' college degree
So life, don't pass me by
Cause sometimes, it'll leave ya stuck
Don't ask me why, why
Gotta keep this train moving
No time to cry
So lonely days, I'll say goodbye
Gotta live for today
So life, it won't pass me by
Cause sometimes, it'll leave ya stuck
Don't ask me why, why
Gotta keep this train moving
No time to cry
So lonely days, I'll say goodbye
Gotta live for today
So life, it won't pass me by
My middle finger to the law
I'm bustin' back, tryna touch the sky
My teacher said "Impossible"
But Ima fuckin' try
Plus, how he gon' tell me?
He don't make the rules
There's niggas dyin' everyday
Man, we don't make the news
Instead they talkin' 'bout some thunderstorms, cyclones
Timmy got his bike stole
Top story

Anchorman, stop snitchin'
Cut to commercial, he be textin' all his side bitches
Hey, my goodness
How ironic
I'm tried for possession of some chronic
My lawyer came to court, man
He was higher than a comet
Hey, your honor, is you kidding?
How you sit above me?
Are you perfect, mothafucka?
How you finna judge me?
When you home, you don't cuss, drink, and puff like us?
These cops is bad boys, baby, just like Puff
They hate they jobs, and they days be fucked up like us
At the end of the day, you niggas just like us
So life, don't pass me by
