[Verse 1]
2
I once knew a nigga whose real name was William
3
His primary concern, was making a million
4
Being the illest hustler, that the world ever seen
5
He used to fuck movie stars and sniff coke in his dreams
6
A corrupted young mind, at the age of thirteen
7
Nigga never had a father and his mom was a fiend
8
She put the pipe down, but every year she was sober
9
Her sons heart simultaneously grew colder
10
He started hanging out selling bags in the projects
11
Checking the young chicks, looking for hit and run prospects
12
He was fascinated by material objects
13
But he understood money never bought respect
14
He build a reputation 'cause he could hustle and steal
15
But got locked once and didn't hesitate to squeal
16
So criminals he chilled with didn't think he was real
17
You see me and niggas like this have never been equal
18
I don't project my insecurities at other people
19
He fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needles
20
So he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil
21
A feeble-minded young man with infinite potential
22
The product of a ghetto breed capitalistic mental
23
Coincidentally dropped out of school to sell weed
24
Dancing with the devil, smoked until his eyes would bleed
25
But he was sick of selling trees and gave in to his greed
26
[Hook]
27
Everyone trying to be trife never face the consequences
28
You probably only did a month for minor offences
29
Ask a nigga doing life if he had another chance
30
But then again there's always the wicked that knew in advance
31
Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block
32
But that's what happens when you rape, murder and sell rock
33
Devils used to be gods, angels that fell from the top
34
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
35
[Verse 2]
36
So Billy started robbing niggas, anything he could do
37
To get his respect back, in the eyes of his crew
38
Starting fights over little shit, up on the block
39
Stepped up to selling mothers and brothers the crack rock
40
Working overtime for making money for the crack spot
41
Hit the jackpot and wanted to move up to cocaine
42
fulfilling the scarface fantasy stuck in his brain
43
Tired of the block niggas treating him the same
44
He wanted to be major like the cut throats and the thugs
45
But when he tried to step to 'em, niggas showed him no love
46
They told him any motherfucking coward can sell drugs
47
Any bitch nigga with a gun, can bust slugs
48
Any nigga with a red shirt can front like a blood
49
Even Puffy smoked a motherfucker up in a club
50
But only a real thug can stab someone till they die
51
Standing in front of them, starring straight into their eyes
52
Billy realized that these men were well guarded
53
And they wanted to test him, before business started
54
Suggested raping a bitch to prove he was cold hearted
55
So now he had a choice between going back to his life
56
Or making money with made men, up in the cife
57
His dreams about cars and ice, made him agree
58
A hardcore nigga is all he ever wanted to be
59
And so he met them Friday night at a quarter to three
60
[Hook]
61
[Verse 3]
62
They drove around the projects slow while it was raining
63
Smoking blunts, drinking and joking for entertainment
64
Until they saw a woman on the street walking alone
65
Three in the morning, coming back from work, on her way home
66
And so they quietly got out the car and followed her
67
Walking through the projects, the darkness swallowed her
68
They wrapped her shirt around her head and knocked her onto the floor
69
This is it kid now you got your chance to be raw
70
So Billy oaked her up and grabbed the chick by the hair
71
And dragged her into a lobby that had nobody there
72
She struggled hard but they forced her to go up the stairs
73
They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
74
Screaming shut the fuck up and stop moving around
75
The shirt covered her face, but she screamed and clawed
76
So Billy stomped on the bitch, until he had broken her jaw
77
The dirty bastards knew exactly what they were doing
78
They kicked her until they cracked her ribs and she stopped moving
79
Blood leaking through the cloth, she cried silently
80
And then they all proceeded to rape her violently
81
Billy was made to go first, but each of them took a turn
82
Ripping her up, and choking her until her throat burned
83
A broken jaw mumbled for guards but they weren't concerned
84
When they were done and she was lying bloody, broken and bruised
85
One of them niggas pulled out a brand new twenty-two
86
They told him that she was a witness of what she'd gone through
87
And if he killed her he was guaranteed a spot in the crew
88
He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
89
And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
90
[Sample from "Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb Deep]
91
I'm falling and I can't turn back
92
I'm falling and I can't turn back
93
[Verse 4]
94
Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life
95
He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
96
And he felt strong standing along with his new brothers
97
Cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover
98
But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
99
Cause he was starring into the eyes of his own mother
100
She looked back at him and cried, cause he had forsaken her
101
She cried more painfully, than when they were raping her
102
His whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate
103
His corruption had successfully changed his fate
104
And he remembered how his mom used to come home late
105
Working hard for nothing, cause now what was he worth
106
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
107
And crying out to the sky cause he was lonely and scared
108
But only the devil responded, cause god wasn't there
109
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
110
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
111
They say death takes you to a better place but I doubt it
112
After that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
113
And listen cause the story that I'm telling is true
114
Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom too
115
And now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
116
In fact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
117
And every street cypher listening to little thugs flow
118
He could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
119
The devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
120
White, brown, yellow and black colored is not restricted
121
You have a self destructive destiny when your inflicted
122
And you'll be one of gods children and fell from the top
123
There's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
124
So when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
125
Because the dance with the devil might last you forever
