Last night, down the park beating harpo still there

[Verse 2:]
43
There was once a child in here
44
Cause all the tribulations and the trials in here
45
And all the limitations of his housing there
46
Became a teenage trafficker a thousandaire
47
Captivated with what the drug dealer told
48
Infatuated by what the drug dealer drove
49
A life validated by what a drug dealer holds
50
On the stand because what another drug dealer told
51
A drug dealers woe: 'time waits for no man'

No woman waits for a man with time on his hands (they don't)

Didn't you know? lord they fearing ye now

Specially when the conspiracy comes down

We come down get humble
57
It's no longer fun now
58

From the cradle to the cage
60
We bring our sons to be be gunned down
61
Our daughters to have more - it's war

Coming from where I'm from (I'm from)
67
Sometimes I get a little angry
68
Coming from where I'm from (I'm from)
69
Sometimes it gets the best of me
70
Well I tried to be good
71
Wanted nothing but to love somebody
72
Didn't wanna die young
73
But it helps me try to feed my family
74
Too scared to have kids
75
And do what daddy did, because I'm so scared of failing
76
Sometimes it gets hard
77
Coming from where I'm from
78
[Verse 3:]
79
But, but it's beautiful here
80
There's nothing like the feeling when you do it from here
81
You ain't have to move or pack
82
You ain't have to shoot a gat
83
And you still took your mama
84
And you moved her from here
85
You ain't dropped out, you figured the world out
86
Can survive out anywhere
87
Learn how to do it in here
88
Yeah, that's how we do it in here
89
Hearing shorty's at play is like music to the ear
90
We still get by, you know?
