| [00:35.73] | my ghetto game, where it all started for gotti |
| [00:39.00] | little summin', running around (?)and naughty |
| [00:42.03] | asking for dollars from niggaz I assumed was ballin' |
| [00:45.00] | twelve years old, and talking about flippin' tomorrow |
| [00:48.03] | counting my cheese, think I had 'bout 37 bones |
| [00:50.97] | I made up my mind, tomorrow gotti's starting to cone |
| [00:54.03] | bought me a deal, posted up on top of the hill |
| [00:56.91] | throughout these years, i've seen a lot of niggaz get killed |
| [00:59.97] | my life is the truth, i'd rather rap outside a booth |
| [01:03.09] | y'all ain't talking about shit, i'm 100 proof. |
| [01:05.91] | that's what my life like |
| [01:27.36] | I'm from the projects, jaded in, fence surround |

| [01:36.00] | 'cause they on the corner stores, like how could they afford |
| [01:39.39] | something we can't, they never seen these dollars before |
| [01:42.21] | I wrote this here for the government, me and my people sufferin' |
| [01:45.60] | break bread with the immigrants, not word for recipients |
| [01:48.81] | tell me what my benefit, long jazz, fifty cents |
| [01:51.81] | eighty-five percent with no parole in parenthesis |
| [01:54.63] | the north memphis president, here to set the record straight |
| [01:57.87] | rob, steal, kill, put some food on your people plates |
| [02:00.90] | going lethal, thrill me, before these people kill me |
| [02:03.87] | gotti's just a spokesman for the north and they gon' feel me |
| [02:06.87] | my block consists of. lost hope |
| [02:09.69] | gangbangers and street-thugs. plus coke |
| [02:12.66] | there's one way in and one way out, take summin' |
| [02:15.72] | a cop working;wait for drought, like yo gotti |
| [02:26.43] | (Chorus) |
| [02:32.49] | (Yo Gotti) |
| [02:42.78] | Back in the day, used to cut the five off of twenties |
| [02:45.75] | Back in the day, I used to cut the two off of tens |
| [02:48.81] | Back in the days, I thought everybody was friends |
| [02:51.81] | Back in the day, the hood had me trapped within |
| [02:54.81] | Back in the day, used to play "pick up and run" |
| [02:57.72] | the shit was fun, but nowadays we picking up guns |
| [03:00.87] | Back in the day, me and my niggaz fought with each other |
| [03:03.81] | shared with each other, but nowadays we bust at each other |
| [03:06.87] | trust in each other just like we done sealed-up leather |
| [03:09.87] | never, we're all clever but on different levels |
| [03:12.93] | Back in the day, used to play "that's my car" |
| [03:15.96] | Back in the days, I never thought i'd make it this far |
| [03:18.93] | Back in the day, used to play "catch a girl, get a girl" |
| [03:22.41] | nowadays, niggaz let a girl ruin they whole world |
| [03:25.47] | last days, it was existing in the dirty south |
| [03:28.29] | rediculous in the dirty south, come get me out this dirty south |
| [03:39.96] | my life like. |
