[00:47.84]As things changed with time I traded in my knuckles for a Mac-10
[00:50.52]And rather live the life of crime

[02:27.05]A lifetime of street living
[02:28.42]Throughout the beef I've accumulated many slugs have been given
[02:31.36]But wilding ain't the way to be living
[02:34.73]You're only gonna end up bloody on a floor shivering
[02:36.97]Or locked up  caught inside the beast
[02:39.17]Meanwhile on the street saying no more peace
[02:41.53]My man  Sto-Bo  kid hold your own
[02:44.46]In a cell locked down not far from home

[03:10.26]And making cream doing sticks if you ain't a drug dealer
