I come up in the street around some real wild brothers
11
With more than one name an' more than one baby mother

Got more than one enemy an' more than one gun

[Incomprehensible]

While these cats that's less privileged is just more raw

Less space 'cause the projects laced with more flaws
17
Less sleep 'cause the nights ain't peace, it's more war

The can is raw like thirsty, rainy season thunder claps
19
On the block with your old pop, pleadin' number act
20
To the spot with the red top fiends is huddled at
21
To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trapped
22
With the jungle cats, lions an' tigers, leopards an' cheetahs
23
For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, they blaze cheeba cheeba
24
An' dominate the weaker on the street
25
Hungry bellies only love what they eat an' it's hard to compete
26
When they smilin' with your heart in they teeth

An' the odds is stacked high beyond an' beneath

45
Together just you an' me
46
When I think of home, my remembrance of my beginnin'
47
Laundromat helpin' ma dukes fold the bed linen
48
Chillin' in front of my building with my brother an' them
49
Spendin' nights in Bushwick with my cousins an' them
50
Wise town an' Beat Street, federal relief
51
Slowly meltin' in the mornin' grits we used to eat
52
Stickin' to your teeth an' teeth is hard to keep
53
With every flavor, 'Now an' Later' only a dime apiece
54
Old timers on the bench playin' cards an' thangs
55
Tellin' tales about they used to be involved in things
56
Start to drinkin', talkin' loud, cussin' up an' showin' out
57
On the phone, call the cops, pick 'em up, move 'em out
58
An' it's all too common to start wildin'
59
I'm a pirate on an island, seekin' treasure known as silence
60
An' it's hard to find block parties in dark lobbies
61
Funeral homes packed, but only dark bodies

I can't sleep hardly, stirred up like Bob Marley
