5-9-95

I’m just glad to be alive

I 2-3 in the spotlight

3-2 with the dimes

My nigga Ian hit my phone before they had him doin’ time

Like my niggah Ron you gotta make it big before your prime

Aye, aye

[Verse]

I’ve been down to my last dollars but being broke it gives you knowledge

Niggas dropout on their dreams before they graduated college

And while mentally institutioned to living Mercian dreams

They eating off of yo pockets to fuel the government schemes

Oh no

Don’t ever give too much info

It’s the hardest things in life made simple

Know that when it rains it pours down

Then the hate floods in like a ripple

Shoot to kill they had that glizzy cocked back on my temple

“Monetizing what you do is how you really get it done”

Never chasin’ flows I’m gettin’ old so I ain’t trynna run

But best believe it that I run it like Harriet with two Tubman’s

I Mamba in the winter I’m hittin’ like 2 dozen

Jiggin’ dat A-Boogie I’ll call up both of my cousins

Young it is what it is now but I remember when it wasn’t

I’m just glad to be alive

I 2-3 in the spotlight

I 3-2 with the dimes

My nigga Ian hit my phone before they had him doin’ time

Like my niggah Ron you gotta make it big before your prime

[Verse]

I know a lot of niggas envy all the titles that our mine

They trynna sign me off some Beatles shit go check the E-M-I

I’m the first flyin’ from north side like Ron Byrd Bennett from The Chi’

Go get that proclamation ready we puttin’ ends to genocide

Been the father of this shit since birth control was legalized

My nigga Jason hit the screen way back when shortie tried to slide

And you can never trump the truth when livin’ life with too much pride

Eddie Murray up at bat

I hit it home from either side

5-9-95

Yeah
