Jeru The Damaja |

This is to my brothers and sisters in the ghetto |
|
Avoid jail legend, fingerprints on full metal |
|
Jackets like design, so that you can't hack it |
|
But you musn't get caught up in these devilish tactics |
|
Never let the man pull ya string like |
|
GeppettoThe game's the same, boricua or moreno |
|
Don't watch ya step and you be like, mi amigo |
|
Forenzics made the maps, so now he's on death row |
|
Yo what's the steelo, real brothers do it on the d-low |
|
Knowing's have the battle, so now you know |
|
To be on point, 'cause anybody can be a casualty |
|
Some brothers lost there life, fuckin with |
|
O.P.P.Um robbery and |
|
P.C.P.From the cradle to the state penitentary |

M.O., another brother trying to get dough |

CommandoCall your co-defendent sing like |

Jeru The Damaja |
|
This is to my brothers and sisters in the ghetto |
|
Trying to be like |
|
Pablo, DeNiro, |
|
Al PacinoYou be all right until you run up on |
|
ColumboGet caught red handed, so you got to go |
|
You lose the crib, the car, the women and the dough |
|
This can't be happenin so you like " |
|
Oh No" |
|
So avoid this fate, and absorb the conscious flow |
|
This is not a demo, strictly for the ghetto |
|
Not the limo, work for the pimp, hustler and the ho |
|
And I'm gonna let you know |
|
Whether you as black as jack or brown as nino |
|
From the ghetto |
|
Blak Luv, is what we need to flow |
