There's a place I know where the bitches go

Where they rob you for you dough and shit on the low

in Southside.. Queens, Queens

Where if you say The Ave.
5
People automatically know the path
6
You don't have to do the math
7
in Southside.. Queens, Queens
8
I knew this nigga named Donovan
9
Astonishin the way he used to handle the pill God (word?)
10
Let me speak about the way he used to dribble off his knees
11
and in the middle at the same time guzzlin a beer
12
like a puzzle or a riddle - discoverin his path to the hoop
13
Scoop, shot, tipped up the backboard OOPS
14
Son got hot, never knew he woulda threw it
15
Cool nigga, when it came to school he blew it
16
A scholar in acute niggarisms and metropolitans
17
Get taller and yo Donovan hey come around the block
18
Dunn got the three sons, fuckin with coupons and refunds
19
food stamps, and still he was a champ
20
Time to get loot for boots and kicks now
21
Fuck hoops gotta impress the chicks now
22
His momma said, "Donovan why are you
23
on the corner of Linden," and got all rude
24
He said, "Momma listen close I'ma tell you one time
25
You're killin my high, plus I got a nine
26
All I be doin is puttin in work
27
so you can get a brand new dress for church
28
I know the Devil lurks outside, man it's cold
29
But I don't wanna get paid slow, and grow old
30
like poppa - plus I'm on parole I gotta
31
get paid off the streets, to make ends meet"
32
With the back of her hand, she smacked him in the face
33
Walked out of the crib-piece, pissed with no taste
34
That night, rockin Nikes, eatin Mike''Ikes
35
Slapboxin with a dyke on a bike too small
36
Thinkin, "This time, next year, mom'll be able to.. ohhh!"
37
Shit from across the streets, niggaz approach - slow
38
Well get the metal out, too late, the guns flash
39
In the melee they wet him like Reggae Sunsplash
40
Sun dashed with the quickness, back into the ride
41
with a smile on his face, the picture of pride
42
Blood comin from his mouth, now I'm at his side
43
Kneelin over Donovan's body before he died
44
Eyes - flutterin up and down in his head
45
And with his last breath this is what he said
46
He said, "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"
47
Then I closed his eyes
48
There's a place I know where the people go
49
Where you can cash dough and chill on the low
50
in Southside.. Queens, Queens
51
Where if you say The Ave.
52
People automatically know the path
53
You don't have to do the math
54
in Southside.. Queens, Queens
55
And if you got a glock, you could bust shots
56
like ??, when the block be hot
57
in.. what we talkin bout.. Queens, Queens
58
Uhh, c'mon uhh
59
C'mon.. uhh uhh
60
I know where people go..
61
Where you can cash dough and chill on the low
