The hammer hit the table leaving me with 7 years |
| [00:05.80] |
My history was shit so I could'nt shed a tear |
| [00:09.07] |
My future was a wall, surrounded by a cage |
| [00:12.39] |
Them laws got me locked down damn at an early age |
| [00:16.16] |
The only thing I got is a lust for the streets, the shit I gotta learn |
| [00:19.83] |
And the shit I gotta teach |
| [00:22.50] |
I'm living for the minute, muthafuck a whole hour |
| [00:25.82] |
And I ain't pickin shit up when It falls in the shower |
| [00:29.11] |
My lady sends me pictures with her pussy in the air |
| [00:32.39] |
But she ain't really there |
| [00:33.90] |
So I don't really care |
| [00:35.78] |
The only thing I got is a muthafuckin dinner |
| [00:39.11] |
So fuck what I had, cuz where I'm at I'm a beginner |
| [00:42.42] |
I gots to be a winner in this muthafuckin mix up |
| [00:45.79] |
Get my shit together, scope it out and try to fix up |
| [00:49.08] |
Some confidence to keep a real nigga going strong |
| [00:52.34] |
The system is my house, the system is my home |
| [00:55.75] |
The system was designed to keep a brotha on his back |
| [00:58.97] |
The system crackers caught me that's exactly where I'm at |
| [01:02.30] |
My lawyer was a snitch, got me framed started buggin |
| [01:05.72] |
My muthafuckin phone and the judge was his cousin |
| [01:09.00] |
It's hard thinkin positive with negative around me |
| [01:12.33] |
So I had to relate to the grounds that surrounded thee |
| [01:16.04] |
House and The Mound where I chill |
| [01:18.35] |
With the niggas who respected a real nigga |
| [01:20.72] |
Cuz MJG respect them too |
| [01:22.90] |
So I had to survive living my life with the street rule "stay cool" |
| [01:25.68] |
Disregard school and make my money fool, check it |
| [01:29.91] |
It's hard to understand where I'm comin from if you on the outside talkin shit |
| [01:34.42] |
Lookin in, then again if you was on the inside lookin out, 9 times outta 10 |
| [01:41.28] |
You would probably be my friend |
| [01:42.72] |
Nigga how you figure, the system's gonna help ya |
| [01:45.67] |
The ghetto's where they put ya, the ghetto's where they kept ya |
| [01:49.09] |
See deep down in my heart I had this urge to go astray |
| [01:52.29] |
And knock out all my problems in one ordinary day |
| [01:55.54] |
The system got me thinkin cuz I'm locked down in a tank |
| [01:58.86] |
They saw a brotha strokin, so they had to make his ship sank |
| [02:02.26] |
So I can't get mixed up with them devils or no other |
| [02:05.60] |
With Ani.....mosity I hate when It's a brother, none other |
| [02:09.01] |
Than a buck, duck, hoodle up, shootin up thangs in the wind |
| [02:14.18] |
I'm in the Pen, you outside lookin in |
| [02:18.24] |
