[00:02.76]Like this turn your back used be
[00:09.70]
[00:13.18]Like this turn your back used be
[00:19.76]
[00:21.08]I'm only 9  on the block
[00:23.64]Bailin to the liquor store with 2 dollars in my socks
[00:26.41]Say "cuz" when I talk  pants sag when I walk

[00:30.83]
[00:31.57]I play Pop Warner and I love Transformers
[00:33.64]But you see the big homey standin out on the corner
[00:36.60]He got real guns  not the ones from G I  Joe
[00:39.56]He feared and respected like everywhere we go
[00:41.93]Can't wait 'til I'm 10 and I get jumped in

[01:00.40]A fresh Iroc with a dope Kenwood
[01:01.92]
[01:02.95]Two 15's and his curl on sheen
[01:05.39]A big booty freak with some airbrushed jeans
[01:08.15]Don't dis put the hood in your childhood dreams
[01:10.54]Growin up these days ain't as easy as it seems
[01:13.59]We live life like death ain't a thing
[01:15.71]Fear and respect we collect like kings
[01:18.31]Relive stress with every breath I sing
[01:21.07]And we all chase money cause we scared to chase dreams
[01:23.80]19  almost 20 years old
[01:26.57]Cut the baby curl  now I got an afro
[01:28.91]Cornrows  some say french braids
[01:31.87]Weed and robberies the only way I get paid
[01:34.48]Couldn't slang crack  O G 's do that
[01:36.88]So money hungry wouldn't front me a sack

[02:11.12]Respect from my peers  on the set 10 years
[02:13.58]Bonafide so I hide my regrets and my fears
[02:16.45]On the front porch buzzin
[02:18.87]High that's probably why I didn't even see 'em comin
[02:21.06]5 rounds to the chest now I'm fightin for my life
[02:23.66]Cause some fool from the other side  wanted stripes
[02:26.84]Flatline   flatline
