[Chorus:]
Nas said everything was real
Pac said every thug have forgiveness
Swear I live my life through these lyrics
Nobody tell me different
I'm grown now, I'm on my own now
I'm from the same town Biggie held the 4 pound
Where Jay had the mouth full of gold now
New York City don't you even come around
Nas said everything was real
Pac said every thug have forgiveness
Swear I live my life through these lyrics
Nobody tell me different

[Verse 1:]
Death could be easy cause life hard
I feel Biggie pain when he sold raw
This rap shit is more like a gift and a curse
Drinking all of this lean taking all of these percs
How Ima tell my daughter that I rap and grandma work that don't make no sense
Ima have to go to my old ways, when I was selling crack in the hallways
And this mac could turn your braids to a bald head
And I was raised when it's beef I want them all dead
My pops don't make me no better, 53 on the run he was gone since November
Can't tell me what my pain is, or what my pain was, we ain't the same cuz
These n***as wasn't raised like me or knew what the struggle was
All I had was this music and these fucking drugs
