[00:24.28]I'm yawning while I'm waking to the early morning gunfire
[00:26.83]Another day another scar to require
[00:29.42]Jumped out my bed
[00:30.25]Tried to break my alarm
[00:31.48]Took a shower and then I strapped on my firearm
[00:34.33]Grabbed my Pelle Pelle cause I wanna look fly when I die
[00:37.31]But it ain't my turn to say goodbye
[00:39.10]How do I know
[00:40.39]Some people call it instinct
[00:41.98]I like to call it my luck
[00:43.34]Who gives a f**k
[00:44.22]I'm stuck  in this environment and can't depart from it
[00:46.96]And if I try I always end up back where I started
[00:49.61]Plan A
[00:50.08]Square 1
[00:50.72]There's no escaping
[00:52.15]So I've come to realize my truth
[00:53.70]Tryna live my full life until my time is through
[00:56.55]Clocks ticking
[00:57.37]So I don't got no time for you
[00:58.89]As I head outside
[00:59.82]Amongst the rest of the animals
[01:01.75]Is where I feel relaxed and safe and I can stand still
[01:04.89]It's sorta like a family bond
[01:06.52]We gather up all the soldiers and form into an ignition
[01:09.08]A swarm of kids
[01:10.27]Now it's on again
[01:11.31]Drinking straight from the bottle
[01:12.65]Warm gin dripping down my chin
[01:14.37]For the ones securing
[01:15.80]You can't win against 25 niggas bent up with mac 10 semi-automatics
[01:19.13]
[01:20.24]Full-addicted crime addicts
[01:21.75]So long as there is cash involved
[01:23.21]I gotta have it
[01:24.29]There's many different levels to the criminal mind
[01:26.40]Either you in it for the money or you wasting your time
[01:28.96]My destiny will be the death of me
[01:30.78]Forever loving my peoples
[01:31.99]Hustling
[01:32.22]It's only right
[01:33.26]Niggas be juggling to survive
[01:34.50]It's only crime that provides for me
[01:36.53]So I resort to puffing dimes and dreaming of pushing a ride
[01:38.91]Negative thoughts fill my brain but it's the projects to blame
[01:41.22]Niggas forever getting loot while standing out in the rain
[01:43.62]So when the sun shine
[01:44.77]Niggas will be writing a rhyme
[01:46.07]And if a nigga owing
[01:47.25]Blood is how I'm taking mine
[01:48.68]As I climb the ladder
[01:50.04]Of success with techs
[01:51.45]Though I rather not have to watch my back get threat
[01:53.90]But it's like that
[01:54.63]So while you just f**ked
[01:55.64]Getting touched
[01:56.11]Your man wasn't aware
[01:57.30]That's why that nigga got bucked
[01:59.23]I realize open my eyes once this shit got real
[02:01.32]There's mad drama on the Hill when niggas getting blue steel
[02:03.56]I love my niggas for that
[02:05.07]We keep it real
[02:05.91]Get loot
[02:06.36]And our identity is wearing army certified suits
[02:09.03]Most deaf  my people hold me down whenever with me
[02:11.34]Talking all that bullshit but it's the gats the rules the streets
[02:14.43]Survival of the fittest automatics recommended
[02:16.94]Given a life sentence to crime until my life is ended
[02:19.76]Niggas wanna point guns in my face
[02:21.75]So what (What What)
[02:22.78]I'm taking mines in blood
[02:23.72]
[02:24.47]Niggas forever talking shit
[02:25.93]So what (And what)
[02:27.74]I'm taking mines in blood
[02:29.63]Try to jam me on pack
[02:31.18]So what (And what)
[02:32.79]I'm taking mines in blood
[02:34.79]Niggas running out their mouth
[02:36.16]So what (Motherf**ker)
[02:37.81]I'm taking mines in blood
[02:39.15]How we do it
[02:40.25]How we do it
[02:41.28]We taking ours in blood
[02:42.46]We taking ours in blood
[02:45.10]How we do it
[02:45.90]How we do it
[02:47.31]
[02:47.98]We taking ours in blood
[02:48.97]
[02:50.47]We taking ours in blood
[02:53.00]We taking ours in blood
[02:55.10]
[02:58.78]This city got me trapped like an animal with criminal thoughts
[03:01.51]I can't seem to turn away from this unknown force
[03:04.04]If only I can lay my hands on the source of my trouble
[03:06.84]Then maybe I can heal my scar before it bubbles
[03:09.28]It's like a play
[03:10.33]And there ain't no cure
[03:11.42]We observe this world's filth
[03:12.94]Therefore we're unpure
[03:13.78]My life is like a bad dream I can't seem to shake
[03:16.74]Only my peoples who are equal understand or relate
[03:18.69]The way we live is never planned
[03:20.28]It just happened that way
[03:21.32]So until tomorrow I'll just be surviving today
[03:24.03]I'm just another man
[03:25.25]On this planet living for death
[03:26.51]Pops gone
[03:27.14]I had to learn to be a man myself
[03:29.17]But I don't stress that
[03:30.90]He did his dirt
[03:31.88]Now he pays back waiting in a federal laid back
[03:33.98]Pops times is different and things ain't the same
[03:36.75]It's worse than ever to get paid we do whatever
[03:39.23]See some rather achieve goals and be a scholar
[03:41.78]I rather get locked like you
[03:43.23]Earning a 6-digit dollar
[03:44.87]Making the desert bird holler
[03:46.31]Doing white collar crimes
[03:47.83]But the fed time is hard to swallow
[03:49.59]And digest so I protest the pen
[03:51.50]I rather die before the jail cell sucks me in
[03:53.75]And my peoples we all share the same thinking
[03:55.93]We all the same on the same tempo
[03:58.02]Making cowards perpetual
[03:59.40]Pull out the tech
[04:00.20]Automatic metro
[04:01.22]My shots chase you round corners
[04:02.79]Leaving your family a bunch of mourners
[04:04.70]And I'm all-around
[04:05.53]Point as that
[04:06.72]If you feel me you're guaranteed something you can feel back
[04:09.66]Kid  you don't know me
[04:10.82]You don't wanna know me
[04:12.09]You tried to blow me your weak side just showed me
[04:14.45]Stepped out my door on 41st Side at 12
[04:16.74]Didn't see my crew around so I got bent for search
[04:19.15]I had to jet back upstairs so I can stash my 9
[04:21.60]It was a Friday night Rikers had it bad one time
[04:24.08]Cause niggas getting bagged on a regular son
[04:26.57]Does like f**k the drugs
[04:27.95]All we want is the guns
[04:29.18]So I proceed with caution
[04:30.45]Eyes open whenever walking
[04:31.95]Niggas be ass talking then be victims of extortion
[04:34.42]Hold myself down the only way I know
[04:36.56]Niggas pumping back in streets
[04:38.01]In debt cause they owe
[04:39.13]Street life is like a trial
[04:40.52]Ass out if you blow
[04:41.71]The maximum is death son you know how that go
[04:44.54]Got me on point
[04:45.53]Paranoid for life
[04:46.66]That's why I walk the street with heat especially at night
[04:49.07]I represent the North side I hold the title and pride
[04:51.57]And when its on
[04:52.58]I use the infrared for guide
[04:54.21]Aim it at your temple
[04:55.43]With no remorse and never sentimental
[04:57.11]My crew is cold-hearted from all the foul shit we been through
[04:59.72]Surviving shootouts
[05:00.44]Bullets hitting the fence  sparking
[05:02.07]Buck my fingers with guns niggas I'm marking til the blocks darkened
[05:05.44]Doing my thing
[05:06.25]Let my gun clap
[05:08.75]
[05:09.92]It's like that
