[00:18.41] | (C.R.E.A.M. get the money) Here we here we go |
[00:25.56] | (dolla dolla bill y'all) Check this shit, yo! |
[00:27.49] | I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side |
[00:30.20] | Staying alive was no jive |
[00:31.82] | Had second hands, moms bounced on old man |
[00:34.82] | So then we moved to Shaolin land |
[00:36.94] | A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose |
[00:40.01] | Only way, I begin to G' off was drug loot |
[00:42.63] | And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one |
[00:45.95] | And that one, pullin out gats for fun |
[00:48.13] | But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend |
[00:51.76] | Started smokin woolies at sixteen |
[00:53.26] | And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes |
[00:56.26] | Making my way on fire escapes |
[00:58.57] | No question I would speed, for cracks and weed |
[01:01.70] | The combination made my eyes bleed |
[01:03.88] | No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough off |
[01:07.82] | Sticking up white boys in ball courts |
[01:09.57] | My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater |
[01:13.01] | Times is rough and tough like leather |
[01:14.88] | Figured out I went the wrong route |
[01:17.26] | So I got with a sick tight clique and went all out |
[01:19.76] | |
[01:21.15] | Catchin keys from across seas |
[01:22.59] | Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's |
[01:25.77] | Yo brothas respect mine, or anger the tech nine |
[01:28.59] | Ch-POW! Move from the gate now |

[01:46.52] | I peep at the shape of the streets |
[01:49.02] | And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep |
[01:51.85] | A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M. |
[01:54.54] | Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15 |
[01:57.04] | A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much |
[02:00.04] | Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch |
[02:02.17] | |
[02:02.98] | The court played me short, now I face incarceration |
[02:06.79] | |
[02:07.73] | Pacin', going up state's my destination |
[02:08.85] | Handcuffed in back of a bus, 40 of us |
[02:11.04] | Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough |
[02:12.98] | But as the world turns I learned life is Hell |
[02:15.68] | Living in the world, no different from a cell |
[02:17.81] | |
[02:18.49] | Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base |
[02:20.56] | |
[02:21.12] | Smokin bones in the staircase |
[02:22.43] | Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess |
[02:26.43] | I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed |
[02:28.43] | |
[02:29.06] | But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth? |
