7
This story takes place, back in the South Bronx
8
Where at the age of fourteen I was ready to knockin' off punks (yeah!)
9
And suckers were scared to death
10
Every time I walked by I hit them niggaz take their last breath (ahhh..)
11
See, I just didn't give a fuck
12
And if you had a seed skin, I let the bomba you was getting stuck (word!)
13
That was the way it was
14
One day I went to visit my aunt, and stuck up my cous
15
See, something was fucked up back then
16
No matter what the fuck I did, I never had no ends
17
And my moms was on walfare
18
Aiyyo I knew I had a father, but the nigga was never there
19
So what the fuck was I had to do
20
When sick and tired to bein' the bummiest nigga out the crew
21
I gotta get mine, I gotta get cash!
22
I see an old man, I'm gonna rob him with the quick-fast
23
Gimme your motherfucking loot, popi
24
I'm goin' to get paid and can't a damn thing stop me
25
See, I'm tired of this porshit
26
And who the cops? Well they can suck my motherfuckin' dick!
27
Cause all them niggaz ever do is harass
28
That's why I came glad when I heard somebody swooped that ass (*gunshot*)
29
Just to let ya know how I feel, word'em up
30
The fuckin' shit is real
31
Chorus: (*background cuts "Down on the real"*)

37
Now I'm sixteen and there's a brand new scene
38
I'm makin' mad dupe, gettin' paid off the dope fiends (word)
39
*?Deep in shit?* the checkin order,
40
and my main man Tone was fuckin everybody else's daughter
41
See everybody knew in town that Joe and Tone had shit locked down
42
And a nigga wouldn't test me
43
It seems like every other day the fucking cops arrest me (yea!)
44
But the shit would never stick
45
I make one phone call and he'll be out by quick
46
Cause uncle Tan had my back
47
And now niggaz gettin' jealous cause they know I'm livin' fat
48
Talkin shit around the way and over block
49
But never in my face cause they knew I'd clap the glock
50
And my crew is mad deep
51
I'm punchin crazy puerto rican, so why yo don't sleep (word!)
52
And all you bitch ass niggaz know the deal, check it out

55
Verse Three:
56
Let me let ya know why I made this song (why!?)
57
Brothers can't deal with the real, word is bond
58
I'm sick and tired of these fake ass niggaz
59
Sayin' that they're catchin' bodies when they never pulled a trigga
60
I know ya style, I've seen it before
61
You wearin' army suit, now you think you're hardcore
62
Drinkin on your 40's, smokin on your blunts
63
Then afford a chainsaw, yo there ho fronts ,yeah
64
You fakin' the funk, kid
65
And you'd be *?kidnapped?* the ass if you ever did a fucking bid
66
It's time to separate the real from the phony
