[Intro]
I took n***as out the hood, tried to show 'em something different
Free the gang
I miss y'all n***as, man
Yo-Yo

[Chorus: Shy Glizzy]
You threw your life away, threw your life away
You was just here yesterday, you went and threw your life away
They took your life away, took your life away
Man, I hope and pray the streets don't take my life away
You threw your life away, threw your life away
You was just here yesterday, you went and threw your life away
They took your life away, took your life away
Man, I hope and pray the streets don't take my life away

[Verse 1: Shy Glizzy]
Screaming "Free the Gang!" Y'all don't feel my pain
Fuck your bling-bling, they got all my boys in chains
Every single one of them done bust a n***a brains
N***a, bang, bang, we the fucking murder team
Who would've thought it all started with some throwback topics We had some BB guns, we ain't never used to wrastle
Y'all n***as is rap dudes, we know that is not you
We not gon' attack you, someone just gon' clap you
I don't fuck with no one else, I'm from 37th street
Out here thuggin' by myself, don't nobody mess with me
We at different pedigree, you can't get the recipe
I am living so fast you can't even get next to me
[Chorus: Shy Glizzy]
You threw your life away, threw your life away
You was just here yesterday, you went and threw your life away
They took your life away, took your life away
Man I hope and pray the streets don't take my life away
You threw your life away, threw your life away
You was just here yesterday, you went and threw your life away
They took your life away, took your life away
Man I hope and pray the streets don't take my life away

[Verse 2: Plies]
N***as ask me erry' day, n***a
When I'm gon leave da streets alone?
Told them n***as, never, n***a
I'm tryin to bring C-Murder home
Three of my closest partners gone
Added all their time up, hundred and twenty-two years
Think my n***as been lyin' or somethin'
I used to fear da feds, n***a
No, not no fucking more
Cuz they the ones that's roping n***as
You pussy n***as, who telling tho
Same n***a that is poppin' bottles
Same n***a that is riding foreign
Same n***a that playin' real
Be the same n***a thats tellin' on ya
Salute to the n***as who didn't tell
All the n***as worldwide
Never respected a fuck n***a
The ones who snitched to cut they time
Leave me and my n***as alone
Let the real n***as ball
You want to tell somethin'
Tell the world that you a fuck n***a, dawg
[Chorus: Shy Glizzy]
You threw your life away, threw your life away
You was just here yesterday, you went and threw your life away
They took your life away, took your life away
Man I hope and pray the streets don't take my life away
You threw your life away, threw your life away
You was just here yesterday, you went and threw your life away
They took your life away, took your life away
Man I hope and pray the streets don't take my life away

[Outro: Shy Glizzy]
Where in the damn clothes
Y'all couldn't wait one second
They say the streets ain't got no patience
I see that now
Glizzy Gang, bang bang
Forever Tre-7
Man I hope and pray the streets, don't take my life away
Man I hope, I pray the streets don't take my life away
