[00:49.97]And girls in the projects wouldn't fuck us if we talked too much
[00:52.87]So they ran up Tompkins and sought them dudes to trust
[00:55.92]I don't know what the fuck they thought, those niggas is foul just like us
[00:58.95]I'm from where the beef is inevitable, Summertime's unforgetable

[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

[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, fuck Government, niggas polotic themselves

[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
[02:28.21]Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line, your rep solidifies
[02:31.37]So tell me when I rap you think I give a fuck 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?

[03:30.39]And fuck tomorrow, as long as the night before was sweet
[03:33.59]Niggas get lost for weeks in the streets, twisted off weed
