Verse 1
(A minor)
This is for niggas
who've been (B major) doing dirt from day (B minor) one
Those (A minor) niggas know what
I'm talking about
For the new (B major) niggas that's coming up
This is (A minor) what the fuck it's all about
Here it's wild being a (B major) juvenile
getting respect
(B minor) Neglect being a (A minor) child
not knowing what's next
They used to (B major) call me little brother
and other names
I let them (A minor) know
I wasn't playing them little games
Cause you (C major) see and you (B flat major) know I was a kid
and I (B major) paid the price
(A minor) for not so nice things I did
And (B major) when I got locked up
I sparked up a joint in jail
My (A minor) moms always came and paid bail,
but (C5) when I went to (A minor) court
it was (B flat major) sort of (B major) a trick
Cause this time (A minor) I was in a tooth stick
on a soft ass nigga
A (B flat major) salt with in (B major) tent to kill, I was (A minor) ill,
now where will I be sent?
DYS (B major) was the best that they could do,
but (B flat major) even in (A minor) there too
I got myself a crew
A couple of months of
playing (B flat major) pool with (B major) smoke,
I (B flat major) guess that's why (A minor) I took jail as a joke
Now stuck in my mind
any (B flat major) time I could (B major) do it
Jail wasn't (B minor) shit,
that was (A minor) all that was to it
Back (B major) on the streets,
but even harder than before
Looking for the (A minor) sucker,
who had him close the door
Now why would it (B major) matter
if a lesson was taught?
There wasn't a spear,
(A minor) I didn't care if I was caught
Got my 9m (B major) m, (B flat major) someone's gonna (B major) die
A bullet to the head,
right (A minor) between the eyes
After I (B major) did it, I put my fucking gun away
My mom's (A minor) do it,
so it's time for me to run away
On the run a hundred miles and more
From 5 -0, I thought I knew
what I was in store for
A couple of days passed,
I knew it wouldn't last
Cause now they got me
sittin' in a cell without a pass
Order in the courtroom, (B flat major) ties on (B major) trial
I thought it was clear, (A minor) no fear with a smile
But fingers started (B major) pointin',
it's all your fault
They said what he did,
(A minor) he's not a kid, he's an adult
Now some used to say
that I was (B flat major) far from a (B major) man
But when it came (A minor) to it,
they took a different stand
About this time,
I was (B flat major) really gettin' (B major) scared
Meanwhile,
(B minor) my fuckin' (A minor) smile turned to tears
Cause (B major) here they sayin' somethin'
that I (B flat major) didn't under (B major) stand
A whole different (A minor) plan
They said treat him like a man,
like a man, like (B flat major) a man (B major) (B flat major) (A minor)
(B flat major)
(A minor)
(B flat major) (B minor) (A minor)
(B flat major) (B major) (B flat major) (A minor)
The next time I went to (C major) court,
it was (B flat major) nothing like the (B major) last time
Nothing (A minor) new and they reviewed
it on my past time
On the (B major) other side,
(B flat major) things were gettin' colder
(B major) And now the (B minor) judge
is gonna (A minor) treat me like I'm older
Gave (B major) me a three to five (B flat major) sen
tence to (B major) cope with
And all I kept thinkin' was to
(A minor) don't drop this soul shit
Fifteen, (B major) pickin' up on a fast pace
And I'll be (A minor) damned,
it wasn't nothin' like the last place
D -Y -S (B major) was like (B flat major) a day at the park
And (B major) this was like (A minor) fuckin' skinny
-dippin' with a shark
Fight (B major) in' over food and
(B flat major) clockin' cigar (B major) ettes
I was better than (A minor) a veteran,
but some were bigger bets
This was home,
they would never see another place
When I get out,
I won't be gettin' no other case
Fuckin' real, the steel cage is whack
And some of them were killed
for a (A minor) crumb of a crack
My time was (B flat major) spent on the phone
mostly (B major) every day
Keeping (A minor) up with what was up,
up around the way
Writing (B major) rhymes like this in a lunar war
I thought (A minor) long and hard on
how I lived before
Now I wish I was just (B flat major) smarter
with my (B major) plan, and
(A minor) They didn't treat me like a (B major) man, y 'all
Yeah, (B flat major) yeah, like a man, y 'all
(B minor) Yeah, (A minor) come on, like (B major) a man, y 'all
Yeah, yeah, like a man, y
(B minor) Yeah, (A minor) uh -huh, like (B major) a man, y 'all
Yeah, yeah, like a man, y 'all
(A minor) Yeah, come on, like a man, y 'all
Yeah, yeah, like a man, y 'all
Yeah, uh -huh
