[00:00.00]The only way to change me is maybe blow my brains out
[00:02.00]Stuck in the middle of the game to get the pain out
[00:04.40]Pray to my God everyday but he don't listen
[00:06.44]The poverty bothers me but mama's working wonders in the kitchen
[00:09.27]Listen, I can hear her crying in the bedroom
[00:10.99]Praying for money we never think would she be dead soon?
[00:13.87]Am I wrong for wishing I was somewhere else?
[00:15.87]At 13 can't feed myself
[00:18.16]Can I blame daddy 'cause he left me?
[00:19.89]Wish he would've helped me
[00:20.93]Too much like him 'til my mama don't love me
[00:22.86]On my own at a early age getting paid
[00:25.29]And I'm strapped so I'll never be afraid
[00:27.53]Where did I go astray I'm hanging in the back streets?
[00:29.88]Running with G's and dope fiends will they jack me?
[00:31.78]Can't turn back my eyes on the prize
[00:33.84]I got nothing to lose, everybody gotta die
[00:36.37]Say good-bye to the bad guy that one you ****ed when you passed by
[00:39.77]Buck buck from a glock, tempered glass fly
[00:42.19]Do or Die walk a mile in my shoes and you'd be crazy too
[00:45.93]With nothing to lose

[01:05.08]I thank the Lord for my many blessings
[01:06.60]Though I'm stressing keep a vest for protection
[01:08.12]From the barrel of the Smith & Wesson
[01:10.02]And all my niggas in the pen', here we go again
[01:12.36]Ain't nothing separating us from a mack 10
[01:14.54]Born in the ghetto as a hustla older
[01:16.84]Straight soldier bucking at them bustas
[01:19.28]No matter how you try niggas never die
[01:21.16]We just retaliate with hate then we multiply
[01:23.49]See me striking down the block hitting co'ners
[01:25.48]Mobbing like a mutha****a living like I wanna
[01:27.92]Ain't no stopping at the red lights I'm sideways

[01:37.05]In a high speed chase with the law
[01:39.32]The realest mutha****a that you ever saw
[01:41.23]I'm living raw 'til they bury me don't worry me
[01:43.98]I'm high living like I ain't afraid to die

[02:09.84]Ain't no escape from a deadly fate
[02:11.71]And everyday there's a million black bodies put away
[02:13.93]I'm starting to lose hope, it seems everybody's on dope
[02:16.78]Mama told me to leave 'cause she was broke
[02:18.76]Sometimes I choke on the indo, peeping out the window
[02:21.40]Alone on my own, I'm a criminal
[02:23.64]Got no love from the household I'm out cold
[02:26.26]In the streets give me mutha****ing peace
[02:28.05]I got nothing to lose and something to prove
[02:29.89]What do I do live thug life nigga stay true?
[02:32.66]I wonder when they kill me is there a Heaven for a real G?
[02:35.72]Lord, forgive me if you feel me
[02:37.68]'Cause all my life I was dirt broke
[02:38.93]With no hope lil skinny mutha****a wanting dough

[02:43.95]But everyday it's a struggle to get major paid
[02:46.61]Anyway it's so hard on a nigga in this city
[02:49.11]No pity and ain't no love for the scrubs that be buying time
