1
It started when the hotshots went past my spot
2
Police used to knockin for blocks, it had me wantin to clock
3
The one day I got proposition, they had me trippin
4
I put my man onto what I was gettin and where we flippin
5
I dogged two pairs of sneaks in the first week
6
I couldn't sleep, 'cause I was afraid to miss a beat
7
Now my phase done passed and I'm in the game deep
8
The smokers love me, watch for the cops and my peeps
9
My mom kinda new, and so did the law too
10
Respect was due, so I chill when they come through
11
I calm down my crew, put a skirt on the brew
12
I always miss my curfew but what the fuck would you do?
13
With 5000 a night, off each G I made a tre'
14
The block was warm as May and gettin hotter every day
15
With no dues to pay, wasn't a way I could lose
16
But my last week of school my ol' head was on the news
17
[Chorus: x 2]
18
In order to eat, you gon' struggle
19
I ain't gon' lie
20
While you eat you gon' struggle
21
Don't ask me why
22
Life is all a struggle then you die, yeah
23
Is it fair? Nah - Does life care? Nah
24
Now I'm back where I started, couple grand and a stash
25
Wrote my man down what happened, told him watch his ass
26
After this court case pass, we gon' try it again
27
Until then I made friends with a pad and a pen
28
I wrote about current affairs and issues I was havin
29
All the coke I was baggin and all the pussy I was taggin
30
Every rhyme gave me the chills, 'cause everything I wrote was real
31
Now who the fuck thought I'd get me a deal?
32
I grew up in Philadel, 2-3 to 4-6
33
It's survival of the fit, I'd flip a brick and get rich
34
But rough times danced along, but money was the song
35
But I couldn't get it on, 'cause my ol' head was gone
36
I went to visit him, he said paper stay strong
37
Watch my new born, I'ma be here real long
38
But I gotta get mine, he said, "Naw get signed"
39
Didn't know I was livin live, till I had a decent time
40
[Chorus: x 2]
41
Now two years done passed, I came home with to cash
42
Tried to catch up with the past but the streets is movin fast
43
I had homies, but they left me lonely
44
Either they fell for a case, or they fell for a tenderonie
45
I was stuck in between a dream and a drug scene
46
Wasn't born with mean but I learned how to D
47
I lace a lot, five times a day non-stop
48
But I miss huggin the block and spendin a knot
49
Money was callin, felt myself Riq' I was fallin
50
I started robbin, 'cause I couldn't stand starvin
51
And then I got shot two times in two spots
52
I almost went in shock because the blood wouldn't stop
53
I ain't gon' lie, I ain't ready to die
54
I ain't ready to fry, but I'm ready to ride
55
Some flip bricks and get rich, some stay broke and flip burgers
56
I'm gon' get further, write murder or get murdered
57
[Chorus: x 2]
58
Aye.. P.U., High & Mighty
59
You know, Philadel, still reign supreme
60
Know who y'all heard ya first gangsta rap from
61
We started all this, it's our turn
62
Aye...
