Uh-huh huh, Inspect this here, check |
| [00:23.47] |
I'm from where the hammer's rung, New's cameras never come |
| [00:26.57] |
You and your man's hung in every verse in your rhyme |
| [00:29.49] |
where the grams is slung, niggas vanish every summer |
| [00:32.48] |
Where the blue vans would come, we throw the work in the can and run |
| [00:35.65] |
Where the plans was to get funds and skate off the set |
| [00:38.25] |
To achieve this goal quicker, sold all my weight wet |
| [00:41.20] |
Faced with immeasurable odds still I get straight bets |
| [00:44.06] |
So I felt some more something and you nothing check |
| [00:46.96] |
I from the other side with other guys don't walk to much |
| [00:49.97] |
And girls in the projects wouldn't **** us if we talked too much |
| [00:52.87] |
So they ran up Tompkins and sought them dudes to trust |
| [00:55.92] |

Boosters in abundance, buy a half-price sweater new |
| [01:04.85] |
Your world was everything, So everything you said you'd do |
| [01:07.77] |
You did it, Couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it |
| [01:10.75] |
I from where niggas pull your car, and argue all day about |
| [01:13.97] |
Who's the best MC's, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas |
| [01:16.72] |
Where the drugs czars evolve, and thugs always are |
| [01:19.73] |
At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars |
| [01:22.83] |
Where cats catch cases, hoping the judge R and R's |
| [01:26.18] |
But most times find themselves locked up behind bars |
| [01:28.97] |
I'm from where they ball and breed rhyme stars |
| [01:32.04] |
I'm from Marcy son, just thought I'd remind y'all |
| [01:35.05] |
Cough up a lung, where I'm from, Marcy son, Ain't nothing nice |

And niggas is praying to god so long that they Atheist |
| [02:04.37] |
Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow |
| [02:07.49] |
Cause the day after we'll be saying, damn I was just with him yesterday |
| [02:10.25] |
I'm a block away from hell, not enough shots away from straight shells |
| [02:13.69] |
An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale |
| [02:16.60] |
Your laughing, you know the place well |
| [02:18.29] |
Where the Liqour Store's and the base well |
| [02:19.59] |
And Government, **** Government, niggas polotic themselves |
| [02:22.29] |
Where we call the cops the A-Team |
| [02:23.95] |
cause they hop out of vans and spray things |
| [02:25.46] |
And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight-teen |

| [02:31.37] |
So tell me when I rap you think I give a **** who criticize? |
| [02:33.97] |
If the shit is lies, god strike me |
| [02:36.26] |
And I got a question, are you forgiving guys who live just like me? |
| [02:38.98] |
We'll never know |
| [02:39.93] |
One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow, Let 'em know |
| [02:43.18] |
Mistakes ain't exactly what takes place in the ghetto |
| [02:45.85] |
Promise fulfilled, but still I feel my job ain't done |

| [03:27.60] |
We make a million off of beats, cause our stories is deep |
| [03:30.39] |
And **** tomorrow, as long as the night before was sweet |
| [03:33.59] |
Niggas get lost for weeks in the streets, twisted off weed |
| [03:36.36] |
And no matter the weather, niggas know how to draw heat |
| [03:39.36] |
Whether your four-feet or Minute size, it always starts out with |
| [03:43.01] |
Three dice and shoot the five |
| [03:45.17] |
Niggas thought they douce was live, now hit 'em with trips |
| [03:48.11] |
And I reached down for their money, pa forget about this |
