but you're best to watch your front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
but you're best to watch your front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
I was always taught my do's
For do's I dig, and for don'ts
I said I woke up from Brooklyn,
a place where stars are born
apartment buildings are torn and ripped up,
stripped up, shacked up, and backed up
Fiends cause the voices on the scene,
Kids are slinging in my lobby,
Getting paid but it's a life
Yeah they still play hide and seek
The fiends seek for the crack
and they hide and let the cops peek
Grum folks say they should be
Before the gangs come and blow
Because they lifestyle is hectic,
They bow, bow, bullets are ejected
My lifestyle was so far from well
Could've wrote a book with the title
Age 12 and going through hell
I'm trapped in a deadly video game
So I don't only watch my back
Cause it's the niggas who hunt
Back on the ave up Livonia and Bristol
Sticking up Pamela and Crystal
You know your town is dangerous
When you see the strangest kid
Come home from doing the bit,
What is the meaning of crime?
Is it criminals robbing innocent
motherfuckers every time?
Little shorties take walks to
Trying to solve the puzzles
and now one of them lay down
It's so hard to escape the gunfire
I wish I could rule it out like an umpire
But it's an everlasting game
and it never ceases to exist
but you're best to watch up front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
but you're best to watch up front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
but you're best to watch up front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
but you're best to watch up front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
but you're best to watch up front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
but you're best to watch up front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
So you best to watch the front
Cause it's the niggas who front,
But you best to watch the front
It's the niggas who front,
I know what I'm talking about
When cut across the neck,
a sound like wailing winter winds
is heard, they say. I'd always hoped
to cut someone like that someday,
but to have it to my own neck.
