[00:02.33] Life, pain
[00:03.02] It's so hard to survive in this world of pain
[00:03.51] I feel like I'm goin' crazy so I'ma shell my brain
[00:04.39] My niggaz out here droppin' off over rocks and thangs
[00:05.21] Mama never told me life was such a dirty game
[00:06.23] I hold my glock to my chest, yes my steel is cold
[00:06.87] I pray to God to come to rescue me and save my soul
[00:07.95] I reminisce on my past life
[00:08.52] Ever since I was a young shorty I didn't act right
[00:09.22] Live for the street life
[00:09.98] Yellin', "What it be like?"
[00:10.49] Nigga we Folks
[00:11.00] Money makin' hustlaz from the Westside and it shows
[00:11.53] In these past years, shit it's been a hell of 25
[00:12.16] Back in '91, I didn't even think I'd be alive
[00:12.76] I was sellin' jewelry to rocks, and rocks to weed
[00:13.29] Off at the comfort zone G with a fifth of T's and B's
[00:14.12] Ready to do whatever, young with a pocket full of cheddar
[00:14.68] No thoughts of stackin' just ballin', picture me fallin' nigga never
[00:15.68] In this lifetime
[00:16.26] But I had to grieve for awhile
[00:47.93] Cause a nigga fell off hard but I got my ass back on the grind
[00:48.93] And hit the streets like a mad man, goin' against the grain
[00:49.84] With dried tears on my face from the pain of this dirty game
[00:50.77] Fresh out the pen and can't maintain
[00:51.65] Wanna go and hit the block, be on the same thang
[00:52.59] Tryin' to serve some cain up in this dirty game
[00:53.38] Cause you did a lil' bit, think ain't shit changed
[00:54.13] You wrong boy, these shorties out here misled
[00:54.86] You fuck around and catch a bullet in yo forehead
[00:55.80] Ya heard me?
[00:56.67] This ain't the 80's where you get a nickel sack and a hoodrat
[00:57.48] A 40-ounce of Red Bull and blow yo wig back
[00:58.31] Nigga fuck that, this the year 2-G
[00:58.87] Where the toughest muthafucka get left 6-feet deep
[00:59.80] So don't sleep, cause the scariest nigga'll pull the trigga
[01:00.45] Put 2 in 300 pounds, so that makes you a killa
[01:01.44] Oh really, could you be that silly
[01:02.45] To think you gon' take over a block where I be?? nigga forget it
[01:03.27] Don't make me have to blow yo brains
[01:04.07] In this fucked up world, this fucked up life, this fucked up game
[01:04.54] Hey nug, for some reason at night I can't sleep
[01:05.27] When I lay down, I keep tossin' and turnin'
[01:06.17] There's somethin' wrong but I don't know what's wrong with me
[01:06.88] Eyes burnin'
[01:07.73] Cause sometimes I burst into tears when ain't nobody home with me
[01:08.43] Stress from thoughts of survival just rushed my dome quickly
[01:09.18] Y'all better come on get me
[01:09.76] Cause I bout to do somethin' so muthafuckin' drastic
[01:10.32] Instead of writin' essays like grabbin' SK's
[01:10.97] With one of the best ways that I know to feed my family
[01:11.42] Cause y'all ain't foolin' me
[01:11.97] Y'all people plannin' a way for my people to read my eulogy
[01:12.50] I see what y'all bogus ass doin', y'all plannin' on hurtin' me
[01:13.08] Used to be crucifyin' or burnin' me
[01:13.63] Now you eliminatin' paper currency
[01:14.16] Terrorizin' with technology
[01:15.16] And that Y2K shit, I don't know why you play with the chosen guys
[01:15.61] The wool ain't no longer pulled over my eyes
[01:16.29] Gots to get some scratch and I gotta get it soon
[01:17.23] We about to be doomed
[01:17.83] Do somethin' for the kids before I go to my tomb
[01:18.97] Gotta bust this thang and maybe then thangs gon' change
[01:19.52] Tryin' to check mine, cause all of it on y'all I can't blame
[01:20.13] Maintain, it's a strange game
[01:20.75] At times you gotta throw blows for the gold
[01:21.33] It's a long road, some of us do shit despite losin' our soul
[01:22.09] Got cold flows but it's strange, I still can't get no change
[01:22.69] Bout to be insane
[01:23.19] Tryin' to pay the bills but still straight causin' pain
[01:23.76] It's a dirty game
[01:24.36] Dirty - dirty - dirty game
[01:24.93] Dirty game
[02:14.84] Such a dirty game
[02:16.44]
