Lyrics:
7
I was always taught my do's and don'ts
8
For do's I did, and for don'ts, I said I won't
9
I'm from brooklyn, a place where stars are born
10
Streets are shot up, apartment buildings are torn
11
And ripped up, stripped up, shacked up and backed up
12
From fiends, cause the bosses on the scene, they got it cracked up
13
Kids are slingin in my lobby
14
Little steve and bobby
15
Gettin paid but it's a life-threatening hobby
16
Yeah, they still play hide and seek
17
The fiends seek for the crack, and they hide and let the cops peep
18
Grown folks say they should be out on their own
19
Before the gangs come and blow up their mom's home
20
Because they lifestyle is hectic, so fuckin hectic
21
Blaow! blaow! blaow! bullets are ejected
22
My lifestyle was so far from well
23
Coulda wrote a book with a title "age 12 and goin through hell"
24
Then I realized the plan
25
I'm trapped in a deadly video game, with just one man
26
So I don't only watch my back, I watch my front
27
Cause it's the niggaz who front, they be pullin stunts
28
Back on the ave of lavonia and bristol with a pistol
29
Stickin up pamela and crystal
30
You know your town is dangerous when you see the strangest
31
Kid come home from doin the bid and nuthin changes
32
What is the meaning of crime (what? )
33
Is it criminals robbin innocent motherfuckers everytime?
34
Little shorties take walks to the schoolyard
35
Tryin to solve the puzzles to why is life so hard
36
Then as soon as they reached the playground, blaow!
37
Shots ring off and now one of them lay down
38
It's so hard to escape the gunfire
39
I wish I could rule it out like an umpire
40
But it's an everlasting game, and it never cease to exist
41
Only the players change, so...
42
Chorus 3x
43
Rza - I gotcha back (8x)
44
I gotcha back so you best to watch your front
45
Cause it's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts
46
I gotcha back but you best to watch your front
47
It's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts
48
Outro: (lp version only)
49
*old man*
50
Your, tech, nique, is, mag-ni-ficent
51
When cut across the neck
52
A sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say
53
I'd always hoped to cut someone like that someday
54
To hear that sound
55
But to have it happen to my own neck is... ridiculous
56
*man gasps for air*
