[Verse]
Jah died, I had to deal with all the pain
I pray for summer, had to deal with all the rain
I know all these bitches all the same
When you in these streets, you gotta find a lane
Getting high the only thing to keep you sane
The way we living is a shame
Lost his life before he could even grasp it
Full cap and gown, Ummi see him in the casket
Shit was tragic when he saw his n***a wrapped in that fabric
At his viewing look like he made outta plastic
He was tryna be a savage
My youngings done turned murdering into a sport
Main objеctive cut a n***a life short
My life was just likе yours
I tote them hammers, ended up on the road
Wanted whatever was in his pockets, ended up with a [?]
Starfoullah, sometimes he wished that he kept playing basketball
Was up the P, selling that killer, white boys wanted adderall
After all the shit I been through, wouldn't change shit
Nowadays my n***as just park em soon as he lane switch
These n***as dangerous, keep [?] by my side cause she loyal
She tell me baby boy, these n***as ain't for you
That's when I cut you short
N***as been snakes, what you thought
I threw the thirty at em, but only Allah know what you caught
See where I'm from, it's either jailing or telling
They turned a honor student into a felon cause he respect the code
It hit the fan and n***as get exposed
He on the block, we gonna pull up and shoot
We call that a pick and roll
Von said he had to shoot to survive
[?] address gillion n***as in a suit and a tie
If I ain't in the mood, I'm sliding
We don't shoot to the sky, we tear his face
The detectives like what they do to this guy
Shit get spooky, my young n***a in jail smoking a tookie
I was sellin Nino Brown and that crystal rock, that's Pookie
Bought a new jack, a iPhone
I make a call to get you lifted up like Sky Zone
The [?] look like styrofoam, facts
N***as in jail fighting over the jack
The DA affiliating me with gangs cause of my tats, this shit crazy
Won't even let going to jail phase me
[?] on a case, he gonna spank it like it's a baby
Don't call back if I don't answer
We run the hood from like Cedar down to Chancellor
Auntie just beat cancer and I'm still fighting cases
I told the Judge eat a dick cause he racist
But I'm back to the basics
Was just in jail, [?] teaching me the [?]
Ummi stressing she told me I need to read the Quran
I love the streets but I think it's time that I leave em behind
I miss Jah, I shed a tear every time he on my mind
And my brother twin almost took a shot to the temple
He gotta live the rest of his life with a dimple
The way we living is simple, gotta be able to stand the shit that you into
I don't complain about the shit that I been through
It took a toll on me, I had a dream my brother told on me
I was in court, the Judge and District Attorney rolled on me
They in the county, snorting [?] from a spoon
He got sent out but in the streets he a goon
My n***as howl at the moon
Only thing you send your dog is balloons
We send em company, my n***a make room
That's a promise, slime
We sinning look forward to Ramadan
I told my Ummi that I'm stuck in the trenches and that's the bottom line
