Song lyrics

[Chorus:]
Brothers on the block knowing
From this point on it only gets rougher!
Sisters at the crib knowing
From this point on it only gets rougher!
Preachers at the church knowing, we still get by
From this point on it only gets rougher!
Teachers at the school knowing
From this point on it only gets rougher!
Ladies on the block knowing
From this point on it only gets rougher!
Junkies on the corner knowing, but still get high
From this point on it only gets rougher!

[Verse 1: Big Boi]
Well, here's a formal introduction,
Somethin' to make you ponder,
The situation's ugly, like “In Living Color's” Wanda. Word up!
Well, everybody play dumb, but there's some that succumb
And fall victim, I will overcome any hurdle or obstacle that's in my path,
Fast cash should be the last resort so make it last for the risk you took.
Trick, you shook your ass for some hundred dollar heels and a designer bag,
Now that's ass backwards –
All you got in the refrigerator is bratwurst.
Your stomach is balled in a knot, you got that fat purse,
Pocketbook, stop and look, pockets look void.
Destroyed by the need to indulge and enjoy the finer things in life, right?
Your dignity, your only sacrifice, slim as your chances of being somebody's wife,
They seein ya butt, booty naked every night, ain't nothin' right or wrong.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Even though things started fallin apart,
Wanda went and bought a Honda.
Now she's out of a job,
She would slob on a knob,
For a little less than a yard, a massage you could drill her like a sarge.
She would charge and rob,
Pick through yo pockets.
She got the tricks watcher, and the silver locket,
That he bought for his wife but Wanda left her license,
On the night stand fuckin with this white man.
She met in a little red Corvette, paid for sex,
Made a deal that she would never forget, you can bet,
Every action has a positive and equal reaction,
Therefore everythin' that goes around comes around in that fashion.
Fast and furiously, the was a knock on the slidin' glass door...
– Bitch, it's me! You thought you was slick the way you hit me for that lick, but you slipped, now I'm gettin' in your shit!

[Chorus]
