（dolla dolla bill y'all） Check this shit, yo! |
| [00:28.390] |
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side |
| [00:31.100] |
Staying alive was no jive |
| [00:32.720] |
Had second hands, moms bounced on old man |
| [00:35.720] |
So then we moved to Shaolin land |
| [00:37.840] |
A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose |
| [00:40.910] |
Only way, I begin to G' off was drug loot |
| [00:43.530] |
And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one |
| [00:46.850] |
And that one, pullin out gats for fun |
| [00:49.030] |
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend |
| [00:52.660] |
Started smokin woolies at sixteen |
| [00:54.160] |
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes |
| [00:57.160] |
Making my way on fire escapes |
| [00:59.470] |
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed |
| [01:02.600] |
The combination made my eyes bleed |
| [01:04.780] |
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough off |
| [01:08.720] |
Sticking up white boys in ball courts |
| [01:10.470] |
My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater |
| [01:13.910] |
Times is rough and tough like leather |
| [01:15.780] |
Figured out I went the wrong route |
| [01:18.160] |
So I got with a sick tight clique and went all out |
| [01:20.660] |
|
| [01:22.050] |
Catchin keys from across seas |
| [01:23.490] |
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's |
| [01:26.670] |
Yo brothas respect mine, or anger the tech nine |
| [01:29.490] |
Ch-POW! Move from the gate now |

It's been 22 long hard years and still strugglin |
| [01:44.800] |
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival |
| [01:47.420] |
I peep at the shape of the streets |
| [01:49.920] |
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep |
| [01:52.750] |
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M. |
| [01:55.440] |
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15 |
| [01:57.940] |
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much |
| [02:00.940] |
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch |
| [02:03.070] |
|
| [02:03.880] |
The court played me short, now I face incarceration |
| [02:07.690] |
|
| [02:08.630] |
Pacin', going up state's my destination |
| [02:09.750] |
Handcuffed in back of a bus, 40 of us |
| [02:11.940] |
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough |
| [02:13.880] |
But as the world turns I learned life is Hell |
| [02:16.580] |
Living in the world, no different from a cell |
| [02:18.710] |
|
| [02:19.390] |
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base |
| [02:21.460] |
|
| [02:22.020] |
Smokin bones in the staircase |
| [02:23.330] |
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess |
| [02:27.330] |
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed |
| [02:29.330] |
|
| [02:29.960] |
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth? |
| [02:32.640] |
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth |
| [02:34.710] |
|
| [02:35.390] |
Who explained working hard may help you maintain |
| [02:37.390] |
|
| [02:37.960] |
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain |
| [02:40.460] |
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks |
| [02:42.640] |
|
| [02:43.140] |
and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot |
| [02:45.460] |
|
| [02:46.020] |
Leave it up to me while I be living proof |
| [02:48.460] |
To kick the truth to the young black youth |
| [02:50.670] |
|
| [02:51.300] |
But shorty's running wild, smokin sess, drinkin beer |
| [02:53.360] |
|
| [02:53.990] |
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear |
| [02:56.670] |
Neglected for now, but yo, it gots to be accepted |
| [02:59.740] |
