[Verse]
Jah died, I had to deal with all the pain
I pray for summer, had to deal with all the rain
I know all these bitches all the same
When you in these streets, you gotta find a lane
Getting high the only thing to keep you sane
The way we living is a shame
Lost his life before he could even grasp it
Full cap and gown, Ummi see him in the casket
Shit was tragic when he saw his nigga wrapped in that fabric
At his viewing look like he made outta plastic
He was tryna be a savage
My youngings done turned murdering into a sport
Main objеctive cut a nigga life short
My life was just likе yours
I tote them hammers, ended up on the road
Wanted whatever was in his pockets, ended up with a [?]
Starfoullah, sometimes he wished that he kept playing basketball
Was up the P, selling that killer, white boys wanted adderall
After all the shit I been through, wouldn't change shit
Nowadays my niggas just park em soon as he lane switch
These niggas dangerous, keep [?] by my side cause she loyal
She tell me baby boy, these niggas ain't for you
That's when I cut you short
Niggas been snakes, what you thought
I threw the thirty at em, but only Allah know what you caught
See where I'm from, it's either jailing or telling
They turned a honor student into a felon cause he respect the code
It hit the fan and niggas get exposed
He on the block, we gonna pull up and shoot
We call that a pick and roll
Von said he had to shoot to survive
[?] address gillion niggas in a suit and a tie
If I ain't in the mood, I'm sliding
We don't shoot to the sky, we tear his face
The detectives like what they do to this guy
Shit get spooky, my young nigga in jail smoking a tookie
I was sellin Nino Brown and that crystal rock, that's Pookie
Bought a new jack, a iPhone
I make a call to get you lifted up like Sky Zone
The [?] look like styrofoam, facts
Niggas in jail fighting over the jack
The DA affiliating me with gangs cause of my tats, this shit crazy
Won't even let going to jail phase me
[?] on a case, he gonna spank it like it's a baby
Don't call back if I don't answer
We run the hood from like Cedar down to Chancellor
Auntie just beat cancer and I'm still fighting cases
I told the Judge eat a dick cause he racist
But I'm back to the basics
Was just in jail, [?] teaching me the [?]
Ummi stressing she told me I need to read the Quran
I love the streets but I think it's time that I leave em behind
I miss Jah, I shed a tear every time he on my mind
And my brother twin almost took a shot to the temple
He gotta live the rest of his life with a dimple
The way we living is simple, gotta be able to stand the shit that you into
I don't complain about the shit that I been through
It took a toll on me, I had a dream my brother told on me
I was in court, the Judge and District Attorney rolled on me
They in the county, snorting [?] from a spoon
He got sent out but in the streets he a goon
My niggas howl at the moon
Only thing you send your dog is balloons
We send em company, my nigga make room
That's a promise, slime
We sinning look forward to Ramadan
I told my Ummi that I'm stuck in the trenches and that's the bottom line
