From what I see it's systematic how we push to addicts
30
Demographics make the street life hell or drastic
31
In the hood we see oppressive genocide
32
Cause if it's on it's on, you know at least 10 men'll ride
33
But on the other side, corruption runs deep
34
I'm aware of the conspiricies, discussion is brief
35
They're building more prisons, spendin less on schools
36
On the block Smith & Wess-ons and Teflons rule
37
It's hard to escape it, certain laws are sacred
38
In this life my nigga, it's mad hard to make it

[Dogg] I live a treacherous life, I know I ain't right, mm
46
[Guru] In this life..
47
[Dogg] You got to keep on
48
[Dogg] You got to be strong, you got to hold on
49
[Guru] In this life, heh, I come in peace
50
[Guru] But still yo, I come from the streets

58
I bop up the street, C-walk to the beat
59
It's cold outdoors, so I got to keep some heat
