Life
[Verse 1]
Magnificent, it been evident with this microphone
He been my ace boon coon, then again I might be wrong
I felt myself parting with who I started with
Fuck the skills, this is all from the heart and shit
This life I live, fighting and shooting
It’s polluting my mind, but I turned out fine
We used to strangle and smash, mangle and blast
Although we was opposites we was Tango & Cash
But it ain’t gonna last
We was equals with the lyrics
Whatev's homes, It ain’t your skin tone, it's in your spirit, hear it
First, I’m your boy since way back
We all fought the wheel of fortune, but don’t say jack
When you turned your back on your crew
Who was down with you?
Looking Tice in a woody
Tune to your hoodie
I’m from the Mob but not the Goodie
The name is Dirty Dozen, never meant to see you footie
So don’t step and wear it out
I’m calling you, was sold in the moon
So comprehend, the message I send
F-R-I to the friend, a friend to the end let’s begin

[Hook]
Where did we go wrong
We were so strong
Unified, but now we no long
This is yo' song
Now ask yourself where did we go wrong
I wanna know where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
We were so strong
Unified, but now we no long
This is yo' song
Now ask yourself in the mirror where did we go wrong
I wanna know where did we go wrong
[Verse 2]
It was simple mathematics, you needed money, not loyalty
We got allegiant but you sparked trees and in the royalty
We was Batman and Robin, you was more like Robin and Batman
So affirmative action was needed, that’s why I deleted
And proceeded to heat it
To other peoples minds through your ears
So clear, you was closer than my old lady
Your industry rule four thousand and eighty
Can’t trust you but got no love so heed that
Retrospective yesterdays so don’t give me no feedback
His wildest actions made my whole brain pause
You was sell-out, because you sold out my whole cause
Ain’t got no beef with you but I hope to sleep with you
Don't sell yourself short to be your inspirer
Peace to deep admirer, that said life ain’t to be fair
And your true friends, in the end will be there
(Was that you?)

[Hook]
Where did we go wrong
We were so strong
Unified, but now we no long
This is yo' song
Now ask yourself where did we go wrong
I wanna know where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
We were so strong
Unified, but now we no long
This is yo' song
Now ask yourself in the mirror will we go wrong
I wanna know where did we go wrong
[Verse 3]
5 Ela for life, inked in my flesh
Life was so fast, you could damn near blink to death
Let me think the rest Jay Dee, good luck and shit
Try your best to not go out and get fucked and shit
Yo, we been real since day one, no feelings to hide
Although that 'Player' shit had me angered inside
Ride with my goons trick tick, never changed up
Got out of hand, death wish will make your brain bust
We on the same stuff, the stacky that's out by kind
Keep it real with the faith and don’t doubt my guy
And to undertake a death for life again, you won’t like it when I strike again
So say my name up on your mic again
And Fuzz, you just ain’t got the look to last
If I'm a bitch n***a, then your bitch n***a done whooped your ass
You just another leech, hanging by my testicle
Peace to Zana, he'll tell ya I’m a spectacle
Best to flow, in my defense not the linguist but ?? fluid
Yo ass is grass n***as, and I’m the lawnmower
Flamethrower, make it hot this year
Hittin' on all y'all player hater n***as, flex this here
And to styles locked down and sobered and shit
Never sacrifice a true dog over a bitch
Over a bitch
Never sacrifice a true dog over a bitch
[Hook]
Now will we go wrong
We were so strong
Unified, but now we no long
This is yo' song
Now ask yourself in the mirror will we go wrong
I wanna know where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
We were so strong
Unified, but now we no long
This is yo' song
Now ask yourself where did we go wrong
Now ask yourself where did we go wrong

[Outro]
Ay yo, this is dedicated... to those...
