1
Today we're gonna do something scary
2
We're venturing into the mind of young black males
3
Let's take a peak...
4
[ Young Lay ]
5
Cuddies perved by the corner, stout, herb
6
Got me twisted, mo' cold killin murders
7
Them brothers gettin further
8
Got my pencil for utensil, this'll keep they mind knownin
9
Spot some thugs at the club, and they got the nines showin
10
Dirty pimpin g's, one of my dreams, player now listen
11
Lotta blacks locked down, but comin back around in '96
12
All the gals my six (what else?) my track crew and my mother
13
Make these police wonder: how is he so undercover?
14
Never been a lover, but America had broke my heart
15
I was told to tear up out this before this tear me apart
16
Eat through scrap, black tracks, free milk and cheese
17
While the Japs stack scratch with the Vietnamese
18
But I'm finna squeeze, stack cheese they left on a trap
19
A young playa mack, hit the bud', spit a rap
20
It's just that feelin, that feelin that I have for children
21
Are able to love us, but these crazy devils try to kill us
22
"I gotta survive, I try to stay alive, ho"
23
"Smokin that dank to deal with the pain"
24
(My nigga Ray love, when'd you get up out the pen, man?)
25
[ Ray love ]
26
June 2nd '93 I returned to the streets
27
Did 2 months in the county and I opt to the beat
28
Now the cops keep watch, cause they know that I rap
29
Tell the world that I'm a gangsta, cause I ride with a strap
30
But I ain't yo gangsta, just a young nigga caught up in the struggle
31
Born hustler, goin for the jugular
32
Out to take the beast down, piece down might be too late
33
The funk is on, high, drunk off Thunderbird and Grape Kool-Aid
34
Would love to catch a playa slippin, take me down and book me
35
Guilty as charged, hit the switch and try to cook me
36
Silence a nigga for the shit I'm spittin, I know I'm scarin ya
37
A poison you created in the veins of America
38
Miseducated, incarcerated, institutionalized
39
That 3rd strike will have a gang of them rollers dyin
40
Ain't no love where I'm goin, no love where I'm comin from
41
Remember me, that real-ass nigga you been runnin from
42
Got us sprung off the cocaine and the welfare
43
While the black babies die without health care
44
[ Mac Mall ]
45
Now how could I pledge allegiance to a racist-ass flag
46
When the rollers at my do' with A. 44 mag?
47
Got my mother spittin drag 'bout I ain't home
48
Got a double homicide warrant on my dome
49
I hear em pushin in the do', I grab my Mac with two clips
50
Cut through the back window and like a g hit a fence
51
I'm thinkin 'bout my folks gettin sent for violation
52
Foes and punk police, them devils still at my do'
53
I peep a group of ten tryina get information
54
I threw the clips in the Mac, start lettin off frustration
55
It's better than incarceration any day, we gonn' die anyway
56
So if I go out blastin, call it my fate
57
I got niggas in the pen like my cousin Bud
58
Lunatic Insane, and my partner T-Love
59
Big Tom, Ray Ray, Killa Cuddy, Mac Dre
60
Cleek, Jamal, Jinx and Bluebonic, man
61
[ 2Pac ]
62
Now I been called a crook, a killer, a thug
63
A no-good dealer of drugs
64
And Blood or Cuz, doesn't matter what set you was
65
Cause where I'm at, if you black, we strapped
66
As long as ki's make g's these thieves attack
67
And ain't no rules on the streets these days
68
Muthafuckas better watch they back and take it eazay
69
I'm livin in the dangerzone
70
And learnin lesson from the game, it's on
71
Niggas was gone when the frame was on
72
I'm gettin breaken them balls daily
73
Is there a ghetto in heaven or do I go to hell?
74
See, seems I was senteced to death, takin my steps with my head down
75
Why pour I liquor for my niggas, cause they dead now
76
My memory since I was a little seed
77
Was a penitentiary full of niggas like me
78
These cops can't terrorize us, they despise us
79
Niggas, cause we on the rise
80
Plus everybody's searchin for a piece of the truth
81
And the youth turn the streets into a piece of Beirut
82
And the truth is
83
"I gotta survive, I try to stay alive, ho"
84
"Smokin that dank to deal with the pain"
