Nobody ever said life was gon be easy[00:00:00]
But d**n[00:00:13]
Just a kid moms died when I was seven[00:00:13]
Pops died eleven whats up with heaven[00:00:15]
Its hell when you're an orphan at a early age[00:00:18]
This impressionable stage no love breeds rage[00:00:21]
In the heart of a child who never knew his roots[00:00:25]
Looked up to pimps and to hustlers in the eel skin boots[00:00:28]
Parkin caddies on the sidewalk gangsta talk[00:00:31]
Truckin diamonds and gold[00:00:34]
Rubberbands around the bankrolls[00:00:36]
Fly girls to make your head spin[00:00:38]
Seemed they partied all night long[00:00:40]
I was like put me on[00:00:42]
But they said little fellow run and go play[00:00:43]
Take your butt to school or else you'll have to be like us one day[00:00:46]
I didn't understand but I tried to get a job[00:00:49]
While all the players got the girls cause theyd hustle and rob[00:00:53]
I was like makin bout 1 50 a week[00:00:56]
And after taxes you know what that is lunch meat[00:00:59]
And I know I can be better than this[00:01:04]
I gotta get me a car man[00:01:09]
I gotta get a girl[00:01:11]
I know I can do it out there man[00:01:14]
I'm finna go for it man[00:01:19]
I gotta get some money[00:01:22]
Word[00:01:25]
Streets of anger trouble and crime[00:01:28]
I had it hard had to sleep in my car sometime[00:01:30]
But I never let another player see me down[00:01:33]
I kept my front up my gear clean[00:01:36]
Even when checkin minor green[00:01:38]
Brothers knew my game was true[00:01:40]
So I hooked up with the real crew[00:01:44]
That knew excactly what to do[00:01:45]
Bank jobs and jewels quick to flex with tools[00:01:46]
Pimpin h*es on the block[00:01:49]
Checkin cash non stop[00:01:50]
Crack spots armor with interior bars[00:01:52]
No lie I used to own bout 15 cars[00:01:55]
Every piece fila made[00:01:58]
Drape my women in suede[00:02:00]
Pavet piaget cesars palace holidays[00:02:02]
It was on crazy out of control[00:02:05]
We made up the word ballin that was how we rolled[00:02:07]
But the fbi had a whole nother idea[00:02:11]
Its called multiple indictments for hundreds of years[00:02:15]
What[00:02:24]
Daff is dead[00:02:25]
Carter got 25 years[00:02:26]
Nah[00:02:29]
Spike 35 to life[00:02:32]
Nah don't tell me b o s dead man[00:02:35]
I don't wanna hear that man[00:02:38]
I was just with him[00:02:39]
The game is vicious no retirement you die young[00:02:42]
Listen to a fake he might tell you to grab a gun[00:02:45]
I get phone calls from condemned row[00:02:49]
Brothers I ran with brothers I really know[00:02:51]
They tell me ice you got much love in the pen[00:02:55]
You're the one that got away don't wanna see you in[00:02:57]
They tell me tell the little homies the deal[00:03:00]
Don't let em come up in this hellish habitat of shanks and steel[00:03:03]
I marched two million strong in d c[00:03:07]
Lookin eye to eye with brothers that I used to think below me[00:03:10]
D**n my mind was twisted in my hustlin days[00:03:13]
But God spared me I got a baby son to raise[00:03:23]
And bein black ain't easy prejudice is real[00:03:41]
But health and liberty is all we need for us to build[00:03:52]
We gotta come together unseparated[00:04:06]
Check yourself like I did blackman because were all related[00:04:17]
