| [00:00.880][Intro] |
|
| [00:03.260] |
I wanna dedicate this one to Robert 'Yummy' Sandifer |
| [00:07.130] |
And all other lil' Young Niggas that's in a rush to be gangstas |
| [00:10.200][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:10.920] |
As a Young nigga, I'm almost runnin' in the wind |
| [00:13.370] |
Give anything, to be that innocent again, when I was ten |
| [00:16.610] |
I didn't bang but I was hangin' with the homies |
| [00:18.560] |
'Til them niggas started slangin', now they don't know me |
| [00:20.900] |
I got my hustle on, learned to ignore what couldn't pay me |
| [00:23.380] |
Lately I've been tryin' to make a mill-ion, can you blame me? |
| [00:25.650] |
With that jealousy they need to miss me, don't sweat me |
| [00:28.120] |
If them cowards really want me, come get me, and even I |
| [00:30.840] |
Someday will die but I'm cautious, I'm fin' to ride |
| [00:33.290] |
Put down the top, now we flossin' |
| [00:34.910] |
Hit the freeway, let the wind blow, drop the window |
| [00:37.870] |
Workin' with a twenty sack of indo, feelin' good |
| [00:40.420] |
Stop through the hood, grab the young thugs |
| [00:42.190] |
And I can't help but reminisce back when we slung drugs, though it's bad |
| [00:45.130] |
But all we had was our hopes and dreams |
| [00:47.120] |
Couldn't see unless we learned to slang dope to fiends |
| [00:49.400][Hook] |
|
| [00:49.870] |
He's the kind of G like everybody knows |
| [00:53.930] |
(As a strung nigga) |
| [00:54.580] |
He's always G'd up, from head to toe |
| [00:57.950] |
(My memories as a young nigga) |
| [00:59.430] |
Always got it blown like Al Capone |
| [01:03.390] |
(Strung nigga) |
| [01:04.140] |
He's the downest G I've ever known |
| [01:07.460][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:08.110] |
Back in Junior High, when we was barely gettin' by, when daddy died |
| [01:11.260] |
That's when my momma started gettin' high |
| [01:13.050] |
My neighborhood was full of drive-bys, couldn't survive |
| [01:15.640] |
All our homies livin' short lives, I couldn't cry |
| [01:17.930] |
Told my momma if I did die, just put a blunt in my casket |
| [01:21.280] |
Let me get my dead homies high |
| [01:22.800] |
Come follow me throughout my history, it's just |
| [01:25.090] |
Me Against the World stuck in misery; as a young nigga |
| [01:28.150] |
My only thing was to be paid |
| [01:29.620] |
Life full of riches avoid snitches cause they shady, back in the days |
| [01:32.970] |
We always found the time to play |
| [01:34.410] |
But that's before they taught them gangbangers how to spray |
| [01:36.770] |
Not just L.A., but in the Bay and in Chicago and even St. Louis |
| [01:40.210] |
Every stadium that I go, when will they change? |
| [01:42.490] |
Stuck in the game like a dumb nigga |
| [01:44.280] |
Remember how it was, to be a young nigga |
| [01:47.070][Hook] |
|
| [01:47.380] |
He's the kind of G like everybody knows |
| [01:51.130] |
(As a young nigga) |
| [01:51.920] |
He's always G'd up, from head to toe |
| [01:55.260] |
(My memories as a young nigga) |
| [01:56.860] |
Always got it blown like Al Capone |
| [02:00.600] |
(young nigga) |
| [02:01.520] |
He's the downest G I've ever known |
| [02:05.270][Ad-lib] |
|
| [02:07.170] |
I'm tellin' you.. |
| [02:08.010] |
.. to be young, have your brains and have every limb and all that |
| [02:12.100] |
Yo, y'all niggas don't know how good you really do got it |
| [02:15.140] |
Muh'****ers need to just calm down |
| [02:16.980] |
And peep what the **** they wanna do for the rest of the life |
| [02:19.420] |
'Fore you end your life before you begin your life |
| [02:22.320] |
You dumb nigga |
| [02:23.740][Verse 3] |
|
| [02:24.690] |
Now that I'm grown, I got my mind on bein' somethin' |
| [02:26.830] |
Don't wanna be another statistic, out here doin' nuttin |
| [02:29.550] |
Tryin' to maintain in this dirty game, keep it real |
| [02:32.010] |
And I will even if it kills me, my Young Niggas |
| [02:34.910] |
Break away from these dumb niggas |
| [02:36.630] |
Put down the guns and have some fun nigga, the rest'll come figure |
| [02:39.600] |
Fame is a fast thang, that gangbangin' |
| [02:41.550] |
Puttin' niggas in a casket, murdered for hangin' |
| [02:44.010] |
At the wrong place at the wrong time, no longer livin' |
| [02:46.700] |
Cause he threw up the wrong sign, and every day |
| [02:48.980] |
I watch the murder rate increases, and even worse |
| [02:51.490] |
The epidemic and diseases, what is the future? |
| [02:53.860] |
The projects lookin' hopeless, where |
| [02:56.040] |
More and more brothers givin' up and don't care |
| [02:58.390] |
Sometimes I hate when brothers act up, I hit the weed |
| [03:01.150] |
And I proceed to blow the track up, for Young Niggas |
| [03:03.190][Collision over the last 4 lines] |
|
| [03:23.630] |
This go out to the young thugs, the have-nots (you know) |
| [03:26.350] |
Little bad mother****ers from the block (that's right) |
| [03:29.800] |
Them niggas that's thirteen and fourteen |
| [03:32.280] |
Drivin' Cadillacs, Benzes and shit (I see you boy) |
| [03:35.230] |
Young mother****in' hustlers (make that money boy) |
| [03:37.430] |
Stay strong nigga |
| [03:38.670] |
You could be a ****in' accountant, not a dope dealer |
| [03:40.730] |
You know what I'm sayin'? (Go to school nigga, go to school) |
| [03:42.380] |
**** around and, you pimpin' out here |
| [03:44.060] |
You could be a lawyer (really doe) |
| [03:45.630] |
Niggas gotta get they priorities straight |
| [03:47.260] |
(Don't see Johnny Cochran out in this mother****er) |
| [03:48.820] |
Really doe.. Young Niggas.. little RahRah |
| [03:55.440] |
(sup nigga) Especially my little cousins don't be no dumb guy |
| [03:59.700] |
(Don't be a dumb nigga, listen, Young Niggas) |
| [04:01.370] |
