[01:28.27]Once you're tagged lame the game is follow the leader
[01:30.87]Everybody want a piece of your scrilla so you gotta keep it realer
[01:34.41]Kidnap niggas want to steal you
[01:36.05]Broke niggas don't want no cash they just want to kill ya
[01:39.11]For the name niggas don't know the rules

[02:03.65]My street mentality flip bricks forever
[02:05.09]
[02:06.11]Know me and money we like armed co defendants
[02:08.00]
[02:08.50]Nigga we stick together
[02:09.27]Shit whatever for this cheddar ran my game into the ground
[02:12.37]Hustle harder until secret indictment time came around
[02:14.36]And you can look up and down the streets and I can't be found
[02:17.43]Put in twenty four hour shifts but that ain't me now
[02:19.90]Got a face too easy to trace niggas mouths got slow leaks
[02:22.52]Had to hire a team of workers couldn't play those streets
[02:24.99]See out of space like Mercury you jerkin me Hectic
[02:27.31]Had to call upon my wolves to send niggas the message
[02:30.13]I said this Let's play fair and we can stay here
[02:32.78]I'm trying to transform you boys to men like daycare'
[02:35.37]Ay there's money to be made and niggas got the picture
[02:38.27]Stopped playing with my paper and we got richer
[02:40.56]Then hard times fell upon us
[02:42.24]Half of my staff had warrants
[02:43.67]The other half in the casket lay dormant
[02:45.46]I felt like life was cheating me
[02:47.35]For the first time in my life I was getting money
[02:49.19]But it was like my conscience was eating me
[02:51.19]Was this a lesson God teaching me
[02:52.77]Was he saying that
[02:53.50]I was playing the game straight from Hell from which few came back
[02:55.93]Like bad coke pimp or die was my mind frame bad
[02:58.74]Was niggas thinking simplify was turning cocaine crack
[03:01.00]Ain't a whole lot of brain to that
[03:02.43]Just trying to maintain a stack
[03:03.69]And not collide like two trains that's on the same track
[03:06.45]But get my life together like the oils I bring back
[03:09.03]In the bottom of the pot where the water gets hot
[03:11.68]Got my transporter take it across the border then stop
[03:14.38]To set up shop with a quarter of rock
[03:16.26]Here's the plan
[03:17.13]For three straight weeks niggas slaughtered the block
[03:19.40]But you know the game is food it f**ked up me and my dudes
[03:22.30]One drought can wipe a nigga out faster than the cops
[03:24.78]And this unstable way of living just had to stop
[03:27.31]Half of my niggas got time we done real things
[03:29.79]By '94 became the subject of half of y'all niggas rhymes
[03:32.33]Public apologies to the families of those caught up in my shit
[03:35.00]But that's the life for us lost souls brought up in this shit
[03:37.60]The life and times of a nigga mind excited with crime
[03:40.02]And the lavish luxuries that just excited my mind
[03:42.11]
[03:42.64]I figured shit why risk myself I just write it in rhymes
[03:45.38]And let you feel me and if you don't like it then fine
[03:48.13]The mind state of a nigga who boosted the crime rate
[03:50.79]So high in one city they send National Guards to get me
