hella dates, hella times, names
Tell me n***a, have you ever watched your family starve,
and I've been there at six
in the morning when rollers barging,
I had two generations of your family hooked on margarine,
all this drama and still my cuddies keep falling,
three summers ago, my older cousin tried
calling, and when the judge got him,
the crooked jury started applauding, slow down youngster,
That's what my mother keep callin'
Through steps ahead of death
I've been that way since I was crawlin'
Late 89, freak deep frontin'
And now I hit the block knockin'
I been in the corner in them
We ripped the city into shreds
Some say they livin' close to the edge
Hit the track and got paid there
And never did I stress off the jail term
Some try to say it's filthy money,
So why some tell you, just say no?
I'm getting vicious by my hustle,
If you got to go out there and
Open up doors, I do yours,
still young in the streets
Started writin', playin' rap,
Crack the 40 and pay this pip
First time I touched a microphone,
To, uh, make a million, stop co -dealin'
Dre, we got paper to make
EP, but it didn't get released
Cuz my cutty was too hard
it wasn't straight conspiracy
They got my folks in the system,
No record, no money, no hoes on the job,
So now I'm back to the check
Same soldiers, same strips,
player starving and broke
Instead of pimping and living,
Open up doors, I'll do yours, alright
Said it's hold up, lead it to the side
Femme strut, gangsta lean,
baddest nigga on the scene
Yeah though, yeah though,
you know what I'm say in'
Try to take my nigga young man
I'ma have a gangsta approach
from the gang that I sold
A year later, it got a little greater
Kyrie, now we gettin' young
Dropped the legal business,
YBB, but I had to do my own shit
Get full control or you'll be broke
But I knew it all started from
No matter what the suckers do,
Took some flights, now it's the youngster,
And now a nigga got action,
that girl is straight platinum
So when you buy this tape,
I'm the one that's doin' stack, yeah
You got to go out there and
Open up doors and handle yours,
Yeah, yeah, so I guess it all worked out,
It all started from a dream for my nigga,
You know, better known as the
Coolio, you know what I'm saying?
18, the shit is living through me, young
you know what I'm sayin'?
You gon' hear from my nigga
Five year later, still young in the game
All the other rappers from the
You know what I'm sayin'?
