What you base your happiness around material,
women
And large paper that means you inferior,

Look inside my mind, you'll find
Where bodies are buried,
past the braincell graveyard
Where weed's responsible
for memory loss
Let's witness, the horrific,
the stench'll make you nauseous
See what I seen every day I live
with this torture
Verse 5

wash with my in the shower
it thrills women, kills demons
Long as I'm still breathin' I'm still winnin',

The hood converted from trey
bags to 20's a girl
Everybody had money,
Verse 6
when Rakim reigned
Benetton, the Gods buildin'
Ask for today's mathematics,
in every New York ghetto
Kids listened,
five percenters said it's pork and Jell- o
maybe a time difference
On a different coast,
but we share the same sunlight
G
Em
Your part of the world,
might be like colors and gangs
Verse 7
brothers'll for different things
But it all revolve around,
fame and shorties
Stuck for your bling, stripped for your chain,
the same story
From, Czechoslovakia
to Texas metropolis
Them, treacherous rocksters in
the Mexican mafias
Be scrappin' with tats on they back,
violent wars
Nothin' less than a lethal injection
if ever caught
Courtrooms, eagles and flags,
American style
Verse 8
the ghetto stays incredibly foul
Watchin' for paint chips,
don't want no led in yo' child
But them gangstas put lead in yo' child,
the bezzy be out
Shinin' since Roxanne Shante' made
my features are that of a God
It's not a facade it's a fact,
these rappers wanna be Nas
Verse 9
Am
I'll never leave the streets, it's all in my mind
Even with sleep I'm duckin'
why'd I think it would change
Can't hide when you famous or even try
to do the same things like
Before I, walk out the door
I size up every option
G
Em
Eyes cut every direction,
it's like God or guns
Which is better protection? Can't decide,
that's a hard one
I mean they wanna see me in prison,
the chains bamboozled
Headline readin' 'Rapper Slain
