How Ya Livin' - Low Profile[00:00:01]
How ya livin a brother kill another for a color[00:00:20]
Now his family's forced to sit and suffer[00:00:23]
Gang violence strikes again the sound of a trigger[00:00:27]
News at 11 now it's one less nigger they figure[00:00:29]
Self-destruction bro you're goin low[00:00:31]
How can you kill a person you don't really even know[00:00:32]
In jail you played hard until one slapped you silly[00:00:34]
Turned you over like a girlie and rode you like a sissy[00:00:37]
Trapped behind bars in the middle of nowhere[00:00:40]
Doin 10 to 20 braid another brother's hair[00:00:42]
On the streets you was dope you wasn't a joke[00:00:44]
Nobody could cope you was the king of the dope[00:00:46]
Shoot a brother in a minute man that was your duty[00:00:49]
But now you're in jail just givin up the booty[00:00:51]
Spread em I'ma show you what it's like in a jail[00:00:54]
I kick reality this ain't a crickett fairytale[00:00:56]
You said you had heart homeboy how do you figure[00:00:59]
Can you prove it without keeping your finger on the trigger[00:01:01]
You'se a punk a peon a buster bound to run[00:01:04]
Never usin your fist always grabbin a gun[00:01:06]
Trigger-happy with the gat brain stiffer than a manakin[00:01:08]
Shot an old lady but you claim it was a accident[00:01:11]
Drop the sawed-off you must be illin[00:01:13]
I got a question homes how ya livin[00:01:15]
The beat is dope so I come off smooth no need to yell it[00:01:34]
Now what I seen on the streets I gotta tell it[00:01:37]
Smokers on the corner at the rock house shack[00:01:39]
Tryin to scuffle up some money for a 10 piece crack[00:01:41]
And this is critical pitiful life has become more difficult[00:01:44]
Children on the corner holdin automatic pistols[00:01:46]
Taught and trained at a young age to kill another[00:01:48]
But the bad thing about it is we're killin each other[00:01:51]
Brothers killin brothers over man-made material[00:01:54]
It's a like a epidemic better yet venereal[00:01:56]
Only if you knew that we was dominant original[00:01:58]
We'd be prepared mentally as well as physical[00:02:01]
Some say to make it though it's gonna take a miracle[00:02:03]
But they can't hold you back brother when you're spirtitual[00:02:06]
Drop the 40 ounce you must be illin[00:02:08]
Yo Aladdin break it down while I ask em how they're livin[00:02:11]
Let me tell you bout this crackhead I know[00:02:33]
Booby was a crackhead smokin that dust[00:02:35]
Like a fool he was a sucker I never could trust[00:02:37]
Used to let him in my house he didn't need no permission[00:02:38]
Until my goddamn VCR came up missin[00:02:39]
Sprung on the pipe like a fish on a hook[00:02:41]
Yo Booby got labelled as a neighborhood crook[00:02:44]
Seen him with a color TV in his hand[00:02:47]
Walkin down the streets sparked lookin for the dopeman[00:02:49]
Skinny as hell from just hittin the pipe[00:02:51]
Lost his job his two kids the beautiful wife[00:02:54]
He'd sell his mother if chanceyou gave him a [00:02:56]
Long as Booby got a piece of crack in his hands[00:02:58]
Hey yo you know what's sad or should I say it's a shame[00:03:02]
The way c-r-a-c-k destroys the brain[00:03:04]
Think - somebody wanna see these things[00:03:06]
Another dumb brother just smokin cocaine[00:03:08]
Suckin up crack until your lips turn purple[00:03:11]
From rehab to rehab you're runnin in a circle[00:03:13]
It's mandatory I touch this category[00:03:16]
That's why I made it simple self-explanatory[00:03:18]
It shouldn't take long for me to state what's on my mind[00:03:20]
Why should I sit and write a 10-minute-long rhyme[00:03:23]
Hey yo drop the 40 ounce you must be illin[00:03:25]
So I conclude this rhyme with how ya livin[00:03:28]
