Geyeah NYMP the realest uhh[00:00:03]
This is educated thug MU-SIC niggaz[00:00:07]
Life's a battle mean streets eat you alive[00:00:11]
Blocks'll have you tryin to maintain your course[00:00:14]
Through the potholes and gravel[00:00:17]
Hot holes and what-have-you tryin to clock dough[00:00:18]
Foes tryin to pop shots through you by code[00:00:22]
Pigs tryin to grab you and lock up your soul[00:00:24]
Through the Hot Apple nighttime shots crackle[00:00:27]
(bucka bucka bucka) Fiends tryin to gaffle you[00:00:29]
Not only cokeheads but the Feds in the Mercuray Topaz[00:00:32]
After you up the avenue[00:00:35]
Tryin to give you big numbers you got math to do[00:00:37]
Tryin to make you miss summer shit that ain't cool[00:00:40]
I caught smaller cases tryin to get cap or two[00:00:43]
Up against the wall tryin to pass through[00:00:45]
Ghost-like hear the cries from the tortured souls[00:00:48]
Most nights I hold my toast tight and it goes like[00:00:51]

Hot shells only thing niggaz could get from me[00:01:21]
Cocktails thrown in your living room KA-BOOM[00:01:23]

They shoulda never let me go on probation yo[00:01:28]
I'm a hustler; except that [00:01:31]
No correctional facilities can correct that[00:01:33]

I held tears back I gathered myself and stared back[00:02:22]
I'm from where you don't crack the weak don't live[00:02:25]
You gotta bounce back homey the streets don't give[00:02:28]
I take and rape villages who gon' stop him [00:02:30]
Not Rudy Guiliani not Hillary Rodham[00:02:33]
Still I still pop him[00:02:35]
Shit I grassy knoll and hilltop him it's all political now[00:02:37]
I think big when I spit at you now[00:02:42]
Between my dog and the figures the four gonna get'cha[00:02:44]
Between life and death they killed my spirit[00:02:46]
So what little life I got left y'all can expect me to ball[00:02:49]
I myself teacher said I was a lost cause[00:02:53]
Cause I used to roam them halls[00:02:56]
