1
Heheheh.. hey yo..
2
There's a place I know where the bitches go
3
Where they rob you for your dough and shit on the low
4
in Southside.. Queens, Queens
5
Where if you say The Ave.
6
People automatically know the path
7
You don't have to do the math
8
in Southside.. Queens, Queens
9
I knew this nigga named Donovan
10
Astonishin the way he used to handle the pill God (word?)
11
Let me speak about the way he used to dribble off his knees
12
and in the middle at the same time guzzlin a beer
13
like a puzzle or a riddle - discoverin his path to the hoop
14
Scoop, shot, tipped up the backboard OOPS
15
Son got hops, never knew he woulda grew it
16
Cool nigga, when it came to school he blew it
17
A scholar in acute niggarisms and metropolitans
18
Get taller and yo Donovan hey come around the block
19
Youngest of three sons, fuckin with coupons and refunds
20
food stamps, and still he was a champ
21
Time to get loot for boots and kicks now
22
Fuck hoops gotta impress the chicks now
23
His momma said, "Donovan why are you
24
on the corner of Linden and Guy R. Brewer"
25
He said, "Momma listen close I'ma tell you one time
26
You're killin my high, plus I got a nine
27
All I be doin is puttin in work
28
so you can get a brand new dress for church
29
I know the Devil lurks outside, man it's cold
30
But I don't want to get paid slow, and grow old
31
like poppa - plus I'm on parole I gotta
32
get paid off the streets, to make ends meet"
33
With the back of her hand, she smacked him in the face
34
Walked out of the crib-piece, pissed with no taste
35
That night, rockin Nikes, eatin Mike''Ikes
36
Slapboxin with a dyke on a bike too small
37
Thinkin, "This time, next year, mom'll be able to.. ohhh!"
38
Shit from across the streets, niggaz approach - slow
39
Well get the metal out, too late, the guns flash
40
In the melee they wet him like Reggae Sunsplash
41
Sun dashed with the quickness, back into the ride
42
with a smile on his face, the picture of pride
43
Blood comin from his mouth, now I'm at his side
44
Kneelin over Donovan's body before he died
45
Eyes - flutterin up and down in his head
46
And with his last breath this is what he said
47
He said, "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"
48
Then I closed his eyes
49
There's a place I know where the people go
50
Where you can cash dough and chill on the low
51
in Southside.. Queens, Queens
52
Where if you say The Ave.
53
People automatically know the path
54
You don't have to do the math
55
in Southside.. Queens, Queens
56
And if you got a glock, you could bust shots
57
like ??, when the block be hot
58
in.. what we talkin bout.. Queens, Queens
59
Uhh, c'mon uhh
60
c'mon.. uhh uhh
61
I know where people go..
62
Where you can cash dough and chill on the low..
