[00:24.45]Verse one's about a kid who didn't like the way the Earth spun
[00:27.42]He said it's cursed; so he went and got his first gun
[00:29.94]He turned savage, took matters in his own hands
[00:32.46]He said "I'm grown, nothing matters; I'm my own man;
[00:34.95]Because we don't know how to live but we know how to die
[00:37.50]The game of life and no one'll make it out alive"
[00:40.02]So I'mma stay in heavy arm and I'mma keep a gun
[00:42.63]And I'mma beg for dear life when the reaper come
[00:45.06]Yo, he's a beast, everybody in the streets fear him
[00:48.03]Thugs won't cross him, cops won't go near him
[00:50.43]Nothing could scare him, it's time to try and get rich
[00:52.98]He robbed his suppliers plus he gets hired for hits
[00:55.35]Now the mice want his bread, it's the price on his head
[00:58.11]And everybody that he didn't like want him dead
[01:00.84]I guess he knew the same streets you rep on
[01:02.67]Will be the same streets you meet your death on
[01:04.95][Hook]
[01:06.30]I used to be a stick-up kid
[01:13.23]So I think of all the devious things I did
[01:20.82]Verse two is how a little dude flipped, and grew too quick
[01:38.58]He did some rude shit and got his hands on two bricks
[01:41.13]Bought the new fifth, with the extra two clips
[01:43.56]Put together two cliques and took over two strips
[01:46.14]Dude glued chips, new kicks and new whips
[01:48.63]Knew tricks, got two kids by two chicks
[01:51.15]But he blew too quick, they said he shoot too quick
[01:53.49]Too slick, but the cops are deep, but he got beef
[01:55.95]He said "I gotta hit the block for my needs"
[01:58.02]But I'mma leave the block 'cuz this hot cop is watching the streets
[02:01.32]Made a couple stops at the spot and bought trees
[02:03.54]He copped a new uptown patent leather Dashik
[02:06.45]Too sick, now let me hit the hood
[02:08.52]To stop by and make sure the kids are good
[02:11.07]That's when the man ran up on him put the gat in his face
[02:13.71]Said "Remember me from back in the day?"
[03:06.18][Hook]
