[Verse 1: Alex Ruffin]

Everyday people are raised in a ghetto
A concrete jungle that's hell despising the devil
Infested with rats and roaches, it seem like they just rebels
The urine smell in the elevator was far from heaven
Click clack was the sound of the dice
40 ounces on the grass and the flame that ignite...ed
The marijuana they smoked off entice..ment
Exhaled smoke danced like mike and
The Jackson 5 it disappeared it was si..lent
Fascinated I seen it, my eyes wide..nd
I remember saying that ain't gon me
Refusing to be a statistic so I had to flee
Mentally I just ran, I'm gone at my own speed
Never wondering why any of it came to hound me
Even though surroundings stunk like when Bilal go breathes
