3
Nineteen-ninety-eight, damn I can't believe it
4
Whoever thought, throughout the drama, we'd live to see it
5
So many of us done lost lives to the streets
6
As we reminisce I'm pourin liquor for the deceased
7
Thinkin bout the times that I spent with many of em
8
Hopin that the Lord let me see the millennium
9
Trapped in this ghetto main, seekin better days
10
Fightin for my conscience, tryin to shake these wicked ways
11
I know it's wrong but it's hard to change
12
All my life, all I ever knew was hustle and game
13
Lookin for answers ever since I was a adolescent
14
Faced with rejection, early age stressin
15
But now ten years later with doodoo respect
16
I'm bustin million dollar raps and six digit checks
17
Showin love to my peeps and my love don't change
18
Here's a toast to you fakes, huh, here's to better days
19
[Ron Banks]
20
Might sound strange, but I just can't run away
21
I can't run, run, it might sound strange
22
but I just can't run away
23
I can't run, no, run away
24
[WC]
25
Touch a meal ticket, shake a spot for good
26
Never, I still got love for the neighborhood
27
And even though now it's infested with gunplay
28
on most days like Bootsy I can't stay away
29
Cause if I shook like y'all shook on me
30
Then whose gon' stay and guide the way for the lil homies?
31
I can't turn my head on my folks
32
so I stay visible in these streets and try to give hope
33
Born in the ghetto, raised in the ghetto
34
Got love for the ghetto, I can't forget the ghetto
35
How come everytime we get some change in our can
36
we run away and try to move out as far as we can?
37
I know that jealousy's the devil's greed but you worse
38
than a devil when you turn your back on these young G's
39
Now feel every word that I say, hear my cry
40
as I struggle out of thirst and search for better days
41
[Ron Banks]
42
Might sound strange, but I just can't run away
43
I can't run, run, run away!
44
Said I just can't run away
45
I can't run, run, run away
46
No I just can't run away
47
I can't run, run, runnnnnn away!

Another day another dollar, it feels good to look around
50
and see I'm surrounded by real riders
51
Childhood comrades I ran with for years
52
Shared the same beer and tears over the same peers
53
Player haters swearin that all we all G's
54
off each others strength with these, regulates the same cheese
55
No jealousy we all family like Sister Sledge
56
Lace each other with game, so I can spin beer cans
57
Watch our kids grow together, as we get old together
58
Loc I mean this, let no one come in between this
59
Keep our business among us, behind doors and eyes closed
60
on those we consider as foes
61
Outsiders never exposed to your hustle
62
Plus I'm, never been one likely to trust em
63
No negative association, just dedication
64
to watch our paper sprout like this bud mutation
65
[Ron Banks]
66
Might sound strange, but I just can't run away
67
I can't run, run, run away!
68
No I just can't run away
69
I can't run, I can't runnnnnnn away!
70
No I just can't run away
71
I can't run run run run runnnnnn away
