Verse 1
Bm
up as I tell a little story
D
No bragging, all pain,
G
all struggle, no glory
Em
Fools gagging off a thing called respect
C
Bm
D
Brown prodders, well they scream,
Em
but they hate when they rep
Bloodshed,
teardrops in closed caskets
Bm
D
Shaking my head daily,
tripping off the madness
G
Em
Another fam ily, broken hearted
C
D
Filled with that sadness
Another youngster can't
be straight
Em
but dippin' with banana
Clips is a trip,
Bm
D
how a kid can switch so quick
From getting good grades,
G
Em
smoking chronic and picnics
C
Just a little ghetto boy
D
As he leaves his house,
he tells his opper
Bm
Em
Really thought y 'all meant Boyd,
but he won't
Bm
Just another victim lost from gun smoke
D
Bm
Now he's just another name on the wall
Em
No hope, rest in peace to the streets
C
D
Now a thang of the past,
homies blessed his name
Bm
D
Em
Rest in peace under his hood tats
Bm
Outside they never understood that
D
Now that I have a different mind state
G
Em
I feel how can I give back
These youngsters dying,
C
D
getting hooked on drugs
Bm
Even worse than their clients
D
Em
Tell me if I'm blocking
Rays just like them,
Bm
D
grew up to be defiant
But I see things different now,
G
Em
why can't I keep quiet?
Yeah, raced just like them,
C
grew up to be defiant
D
But I see things different now,
Em
why can't I keep quiet?
Time to speak up,
D
this is that street life
G
Em
My life at times, and that street life
C
Street life, street life
Em
D
Bm
Street love, street life
Em
Bm
Living that street life, street life
D
This is that street life
Em
My life at times, and that street life
C
D
Street life, street life
Bm
Street love, street life
Em
Now that I made it,
Bm
D
been had to get the same old story
Fools thinkin' I owe them something,
G
Em
but they do nothin' for me
C
Why? Because we rep the same side
Em
D
I don't really understand
Em
how to ask the Lord why
But I stay focused,
Bm
D
tryna set a new example
Things been gettin' heavy,
but these tests of life
Em
I know I handle different chapters,
different episodes
C
D
A whole different channel,
Bm
not diggin' how better to do
Em
I used to pass rants in my flannel,
but I try to make a change
Bm
D
Got out of the gang life,
just raisin' my three kids
G
Em
Just doin' my thing right
Still seein' my enemies
C
creep in the daylight
Bm
D
Bm
Stay focused on my pa per,
Em
just keepin' my game tight
But now, honestly, I feel
Bm
D
I have a new vision
A whole new mission
G
But this music that I'm
Em
givin' used to feel
C
Solid braggin' bout the homies
D
sent to prison
Bm
Now I'm feelin' sorry for em'
Em
Knowin' that their kids miss em'
and they can't provide
Bm
D
Can't even be in their lives
Nowadays you're third strike
Em
Got you facin' 25, so think about that
C
D
Cause you can't get your life back
Rather give a youngster a job
Bm
Em
Then a 9 strap and that's the truth
Bm
D
Tryna spit this game to the youth
Kept it real from the start
G
Em
The difference between me and you
100 % uncut
C
Never no substitute

betrayed by one of my dead ones
Bm
D
tryna see my downfall
G
all because he turned into a dolphin
Em
I seen his flaws went from helping a mom
C
D
to rejecting all his calls
even bought diapers for his babies
Em

you'll get burned
Bm
D
even by your own family
G
blood thicker than water that
Em
must've passed me
C
tryna send a message to these kids about real

G
Em

Em
But you gotta respect it
Wish I could take it back
