Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]My man said life ain't easy
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when shit get greasy
Streets be all like, "Feed me,
feed me"
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when shit get greasy
My man said [D]life ain't easy
[C#]When niggas gotta eat,
that's when [C]shit get greasy
[Bm]Streets be all like,
"Feed me, feed me"
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when shit get greasy
[D]My man said life ain't easy
[C#]When niggas gotta eat,
that's when [C]shit get greasy

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Hey, he had a whole lotta cheese
Plus he was a mack,
had a whole lotta steez
Made a lot of niggas fat,
gave a whole lotta Gs
Grams, man, he had a whole lotta these
And he would let you hold,
like, a whole lotta keys
Even if you lose some he
would give you new ones
Twice the bread,
it's like he had two buns
And he had a whole lotta seeds
Even his kids had meals for reals
Some rich small fries wrapped in paper
since they was lil
Catch up, nigga
My man said [D]life ain't easy

[Verse 3]
[C#]
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when [C]shit get greasy
[Bm]Streets be all like,
"Feed me, feed me"
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when shit get greasy
My man said [D]life ain't easy
[C#]When niggas gotta eat,
that's when [C]shit get greasy

[Verse 4]
[Bm]He was a heart breaker and a law shaker
If it was bout caking,
he was a partaker
International, he would take trips,
bon voyage
That's how hard he was
fishing for the chips
So greedy he never gave to the needy,
that's what some say
The [B]way he shunned all the bums
[Bm]hanging in the subways
He called them fruits,
then laughed at 'em
Delivery man on the pick- up drive
through and throw a bag at 'em
And it was hard to understand
him sometimes
Making a killing the way
he had 'em standing in line

[Verse 5]
[Bm]My man said li[D]fe ain't easy
[C#]When niggas gotta eat,
that's when [C]shit get greasy
[Bm]Streets be all like,
"Feed me, feed me"
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when shit get greasy
My man said [D]life ain't easy
[C#]When niggas gotta eat,
that's when [C]shit get greasy

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Lovers call him king, haters call him clown
He would say "bite me, that's
the way it's going down"
He was having thoughts that
maybe he should retire
Went to church on a Sunday
and saw a deep friar
Said he had beef and people
want him dead
He loved the hungry ones,
was only scared of the feds
He lived the fast life,
couldn't get his path right
Friar just told him 'bout the hooters
that he had last night
Turned himself in to the paddy wagon,
said no
Bacon wouldn't take him, half the
pigs on the payroll
My man said [D]life ain't easy

[Verse 7]
[C#]
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when [C]shit get greasy
[Bm]Streets be all like,
"Feed me, feed me"
When niggas gotta eat,
that's when shit get greasy
My man said [D]life ain't easy
[C#]When niggas gotta eat, that's when [C]shit get greasy,
[Bm]hey, to be continued
