Round And Round - Lyrics - Haystak

Haystak is a Southern rap musician. Born Jason Winfree in Nashville, TN, to teenage parents and raised by his grandparents, Haystak grew up among impoverished surroundings. He turned to crime as he came of age, ultimately getting busted for bringing Valium and cocaine to school at age 15. After serving a two-year sentence, Haystak turned to rap music as his salvation. Initially known best for being a huge white-boy rapper from Tennessee, Haystak overcame his anomalous status with time as listeners learned to cherish his sincerity. Unlike many of his Southern peers, Haystak did not embrace materialism and greed; he rapped about his life as so-called "white trash," exploring the social dimensions of being white and underprivileged in the South. Few gave the mammoth country boy a chance to succeed, however.

They tell me focus on my future But all I see is present and past Had to talk to my momma thru a peice of glass Seen grown men die for a peice of *** The most respected men were the first to blast Locked down going against the grain of the game wrong No longer a child it pays to think now Terrorists run wild in the streets of the Tennessee Hustle hard get up on your feet and get blew away Your either a predator (err) or its prey Probably don't feel me if you aint living this way Display patience today can be the day *** fear I'm a die either way people say give it up but I've been in it for years I'm the topic of trash talk To *** with spilled beer I'm still here Unlike most of my peers Contributed blood sweet and tears to my career going... Up, Down, Round & Round City from city, and town to town We got some money in the past but the time is now. We been be Up, We been down We been round & round We didn't didn't come to play, joke, *** around We came to work *** better buckle down I get mine sixteen bars at a time You wont find many rhymes that are harder than mine What I got to do break necks just to get checks Sign with Suge Knight to get some respect Drink cristal drive a brand new roles Suck Carson Daily's *** just to be on his show *** no, I aint with no kissing no *** Even if it means being broke and getting no cash I rather lay bricks then politic with you fake tricks I feel like Keanu Reaves caught up in the hatred I had my game sulted concentration broken Explaining pill popping and the marijuana smoking Warning you don't want to play with me I'm not a die like the N-Y-F-D going... Up, Down, Round & Round City from city, and town to town We got some money in the past but the time is now. We been be Up, We been down We been round & round Life aint no joke stop smiling gun shoots and sirens It pays to be trifling in this environment Violence jumps in a instant One must train to condition if intending to go the distance Persistence pays to pray I put it down Once was lost but now I'm found Was blind but now I see Millions of *** live just like me Lord have mercy have everyone down in the dirty Commit *** for money It's hell being hungry Stress like this turn doctors into junkies The ground here is bloody no man can judge me Ya I remember when I was young used to run with the crooks Kept my *** in trouble should of had my nose in books But I was seldom seen in the class room Id be tryna get green shoot dice in the bath room Up, Down, Round & Round City from city, and town to town We got some money in the past but the time is now. We been be Up, We been down We been round & round
