Kids out in the schoolyard and playing.
4
It was nice and calm. It was dangerous.
5
When the MC's came, live out the name
6
And to perform
7
Some had to snort cocaine to act insane
8
Before they rocked the don
9
Now on to the mental pains, spark the brains

Building to be born

12
Check em check

Everybody got their get high (Oh my)

She had a young girl's smile and a hustler's charm

Dying from the city where the hustler's are born

Made, traced, murdered, replaced
26
Life-long residents barely feel safe

And the street's offer plenty taste and little faith (Break it down)

Little face, soft lips, little waist (Break it more)

Tiny hands (Oh god) fat ass (Oh more)

Big eyes like birthday surprise
31
Super dupa fly, born in 85
32
Repeat it to yourself: This is a victimless crime
33
Psyche your mind there's a victim every time
34
Your tasty little pill, your freaky little thrill
35
Pray won't leave you still, you wonder how it feel
36
It's real, pussy like some money that you steal
37
When the MC came, fill out the name
38
And to perform
