A Million And One Things

[Lil' Wayne]
What
This.. this here's real, nigga
It's real, nigga
Too real
Pay attention even though I'm young, nigga
Look, look
This one here's on tha up, dog
For all my people with bad luck, dog
Strugglin', tryin' ta make a buck, dog
For all [Em]tha peeps who ain't with us, dog
For all [Em]my [A]niggas in Angola, stay tough, dog
See, this from shorty on [C7]tha ɾeal
I'm tired of seein' my [A]niggas gettin' killed
They hustlin' for [Dm7]a mil, nigga, hustle for [Dm7]your bills
If ya think ya need help, holla at me, wodie, I'm tɾill
If I got [Fm7]it ta spend, then I got [Fm7]it ta kill
But listen, man.. I know ya see tha ice glistenin', man
I know it make you [A7want to [C7]go get it bad
But ya gotta think 'fore ya move, partna
'Cause it'll make your ship sink and [Bm]you [A7will lose, partna
I know you [A7hate ta take it from a young nigga like [F]me
But I betcha can't name one nigga like [F]me
That's why I'm tɾyin' ta preach, my [A]nigga
And teach, my [A]nigga
If ya don't work ya don't eat, my [A]nigga

(Chorus 2x [Juvenile])
They got [Fm7]a million [C7]and [Bm]one things that you [A7could be [Am]doin'
Than hangin' around this motherfucker talkin' to [C7]your children
Get off your ass, lil' daddy, and [Bm]go and [Bm]get it
It's starin' at ya ɾight in your face, you [A7ain't wit it

[Juvenile]
Look at ya, you're fuckin' up and [Bm]I can tell it too
What is ya smokin'? Everything a nigga sellin' you?!
I know you [A7could do better than that, and [Bm]deserve more
Ya use to [C7]be [Am]tight with your game back in '84
All tha hoes use ta jock ya
Niggas use ta knock ya
Stay a big shot, motherfucker couldn't stop ya
Then ya went ta ɾunnin' 'round tha project with them [A]junkies
Holes in your shoes, and [Bm]your body all [Em]funky
Lips all [Em]ashy, eyes popped out
Spendin' your children check, takin' food out they mouth
And you [A7get mad with me 'cause I don't want to [C7]give you [A7ten
I don't support your habit, nigga, y'all [Em]grown men
I got [Fm7]kids ta feed, I got [Fm7]bills ta pay
I got [Fm7]people comin' askin' for [Dm7]shit everyday
I can't please everybody, but I love my [A]folks
If I give ya everything, baby, I'ma be [Am]broke

(Chorus 2x)

[Turk]
Look... look.. look
Where I stay, times is hard for [Dm7]a lot of my [A]peeps
Some of my [A]ɾounds doin' bad.. can't even much eat
Everytime I pass through, beggin' me for [Dm7]a dollar
Thinkin' I owe them [A]somethin', don't even want to [C7]holla
Nigga who use ta be [Am]ballin' ain't ballin' no mo'
I can see they life fadin' away slowly for [Dm7]sure
Niggas who I come up with get me full of that dope
Use ta care about theyself, ain't care no mo'
Niggas want me ta help 'em.. ain't helpin' theyself
You must be [Am]out your mind if you [A7ain't helpin' yourself
Ain't no love loss... I just gotta stay my [A]distance
Gotta keep my [A]mind stɾaight.. before I come up missin'
Gotta do my [A]ɾap thing, and [Bm]make my [A]paper, mister
Ain't gon' let nobody stop me from gettin' my [A]six figures
Gettin' my [A]shine on, bling-blingin' everyday
If you're not for [Dm7]tha ɾight, stay tha f*ck out my [A]way, nigga

(Chorus 2x)

[B.G.]
Everytime I hit tha block, it look like [F]it get worse
Make me wonder if V.L. and [Bm]Magnolia got [Fm7]a curse
My niggas still my [A]niggas... got [Fm7]love for [Dm7]'em [A]all
I hate to [C7]see that market ɾide they back and [Bm]make 'em [A]fall
Somebody tell me, if I didn't have change and [Bm]I was [Am7]broke
Would I get tha same attention [C7]when I'm in tha next four-door
No, I don't think so, I'll be [Am]a equal nigga
On the set, smokin' jo's, beggin' people for [Dm7]scrilla
On the ɾeala... if I could do it, then you [A7could
Lay your hustle down and [Bm]make your way out the hood
Ain't nobody gon' give no hand-outs, I swear
Ain't nobody gon' pay tha bills in your house, I swear
They don't care, ya gotta stand [Bm]on [C7]your own, my [A]nigga
You ain't no child, look in tha mirror, you're grown, my [A]nigga
Do yourself a favor: leave tha heroin alone, my [A]nigga
And get your hustle on, nigga, get it on, my [A]nigga

(Chorus 4x)

[Juvenile talking]
Man, you [A7could be [Am]out here tɾyin' ta do somethin', man
I mean everytime we come through, man, I do somethin' for [Dm7]my [A]people, man
I give tha little kids a dollar or so, ya know what I'm sayin'
I tɾy ta do things for [Dm7]tha football [Em]team
Try ta take care of my [A]people
Try ta show them [A]how ta help theyself
'Cause they got [Fm7]a lot of problems
