Verse 1
(G major) Back in the days,
when I was a young buck
Stuck like a (C minor) truck gettin' (G major) shit outta luck
Times was rough and
I didn't have a plan
I was barely on the edge
of my life as a man
It's really fucked up
when there's dope in the crib
No food in the (C minor) kitchen for the
(G major) motherfuckin' kids
That's why a young nigga learned how to steal,
see
Shopliftin' laid me a whole lotta meals

Verse 2
But (G major) I remember days when the
cupboard was bare, and
(E flat major) Life was un (C minor) fair, but (G major) who the fuck cares?
I still hear mama, what she used to tell me
That you don't get (C minor) shit in this (G major) life for free
And even if I never ever make
it to the mountain top (C minor)
Fuck it, I (G major) fight for my hip- hop
Verse 3
(G major) Not everybody can relate to
what I been through
Even though some front, (C minor)
and they (G major) try to pretend to
Know about the life of
a kid and the strife
Where he has to (C minor) live in the
(G major) shadow of a base- pipe
Verse 4
(G major) Good goes to bad,
bad goes to worse
And pretty soon he's (C minor) stealing
from his (G major) own mama's purse
So clean out ya ears and open up your eyes
I reach out to (C minor) touch,
but some (G major) body moved the sky
My stomach is growlin', word is born
'Cause all I had for dinner
was a can- o- corn
Verse 5
A (G major) can- o- corn, a can- o- corn
All I had for dinner was a (G minor) can- o- corn
A (G major) can- o- corn, a can- o- corn
Before I went to school, I had a can- o- corn
A can- o- corn, a can- o- corn
I tried to get full off a can- o- corn
A can- o- corn, a (C major) can- o- corn
(G major) That's all the (C minor) fuck that
we had in the (G major) kitchen
Verse 6
A (G major) few years later,
I pledge allegiance to the set
I'm growin' (C minor) up, but I (G major) ain't grown yet
It's funny how the strain
and a life filled with pain
Can sometimes (C minor) leave a bitch
(G major) stained on the brain
Verse 7
(G major) I'm sittin' in the restaurant,
guardin' my food like an eagle
(C minor) Pickin' up scraps (G major) like a seagull
Waitin' on the people at the
next table to leave a tip (C minor)
So I can (G major) put it in my pocket
Verse 8
(G major) Phony Easter Bunny,
Santa Claus and the stork
We was poor as (C minor) fuck,
so we (G major) ate a lot of pork
And it ain't no motherfuckin'
way no how
When it comes up,
(C minor) I let you (G minor) bring me down
So I stick to the boots,
and I'm (G major) down with a mad group
Of gangstas and (C minor) hoodlums,
but (G minor) you can call 'em (G major) scroops
Verse 9
Give me liberty, or give me death 'Cause (G major)
a man without (C minor) pride
ain't got (G major) shit left, huh
And now that I'm older
with kids of my own
I put me in the (C minor) pot where it
(G major) used to be a bone
Getcha self together, word is born
'Cause a man can't live on a can-
