[Verse 1]
Rule number one, don't forget where you came from
You wasn't no gang member, you know damn well you didn't have no handgun
Rule number two, know that you're not the best just because you came first
Don't think they'll give you water just because you came thirsty
Don't think when you die, they'll cry, and ring bells at churches
Don't think they'll care at all if you fell headfirst
They walk 'round AK's, not afraid to let triggers burst
Don't think they don't wanna be around you, 'cause you carry a curse
You're not the only man alive heavy verses
Free my dawg Melly, 'til it reversed
People dying at 20, but the century is the 21st
They say you live once and make the best of it, but why my life the worst?
We all needed protection, now all my members protestin'
Woah, for real
