See the star was born, don't think nobody notice
That lost a loved one to the people in 9-11
Had a lot of struggles you went through in your life
And the government ain't doing shit for my residence
(Say what)
I'm like a Cadillac door
Who are you to judge me for my sins and what I did wrong?
I've been hit, been low, been high, I guess
I'm a get it with the double if not the microphone
(Say what)
I've been hit, been low, been high, I guess
I'm headstrong plus I'm out for those dead presidents
(Ride with me for a minute y'all)
I'm fed up. plus my homies sellin' crack doin' good
I'm like a Cadillac door
And if you down yourself, you got somebody that's down
But I've been struggling trying to come up since I was a child
I've been hit, been low, been high, I guess
I'm like a Cadillac door
(Living)
I'm like a Cadillac door
(Say what)
(Say what)
(But we gonna make it)
I'm like a Cadillac door
I done struggled too long not to floss and get on
(Say what)
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left
(Say what)
I'm trying to live, don't my mama singing a sad song?
Hey, I'm dedicating this song to everybody
It's been a bumpy ride
Till the day I die
I'm like a Cadillac door
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left
So these wheels will keep on turning
Man it's hell, you see, wasn't no woman there for me
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left
I ain't got shit but a dream, that's why they chose to ignore me
Hurricane Katrina, all the folks that lost folks that they care about
It's been a long time coming
(Say what)
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left
Keep your head up dirty
(Say what)
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left
Till the day I die
You tryin' to bring they spirits up, this for y'all, man
Now I'm thinking fuck doing it legal, bring it back to the hood
(Say what)
I've been hit, been low, been high, I guess
Hey, now I'm on the block pumping rocks toting blocks
I know you've all had a lot on your mind, man
But I ain't blowin' up I'm built to ride to death
(Say what)
They say look out for your family and so I try to shurr
Tried to do a 9-5 but where's the money?
Grand mama on my head, I'm ducking and dodging the cops
I'm like a Cadillac door
(Yeah, we struggled)
It's been a bumpy ride
(Say what)
(Ride with me for a minute y'all)
(Say what)
So these wheels will keep on turning
Look, Tommy, I miss you but I'll see you when I get thurr
(Say what)
Right, been through some shit
Plus I'm praying but they breaking down in tears
(Say what)
Consequences of that end up dead or in prison, ain't shit given
I'm like a Cadillac door
(Yeah, we struggled)
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left
I'm like a Cadillac door
I'm like a Cadillac door
Now my homies busted and getting shot at it's getting serious
(Say what)
I know you can relate to my pain
I'm like a Cadillac door
But I ain't blowin' up I'm built to ride to death
I've been through the dirt, been slammed from right to left
Goin' through these trials and tribulations kept me on focus
So just feel your boy Ching-a-ling
See now that I'm on, people think money make you proud
I'm like a Cadillac door
I'm like a Cadillac door
But I ain't blowin' up I'm built to ride to death
It's been a long time coming
All 'cos I'm trying to make a living
(Ha, ha)
Coming to work damn near bumming, people thinkin' it's funny
I'm like a Cadillac door
(Say what)
(But we gonna make it)
