[00:31.04]I heard he looks like ya, why don't your lady write ya?
[00:33.78]Told her she should visit, that's when she got hyper
[00:36.28]Flippin', talkin' about he acts too rough
[00:38.49]He didn't listen, he be riffin' while I'm tellin' him stuff
[00:41.04]I was like, "Yeah," shorty don't care, she a snake too
[00:44.05]Fuckin' with them niggas from that fake crew that hate you
[00:46.54]But yo, guess who got shot in the dome-piece?
[00:49.02]Jerome's niece, on her way home from Jones Beach
[00:51.47]It's bugged, plus little Rob is sellin' drugs on the dime
[00:54.70]Hangin' out with young thugs that all carry 9's
[00:57.29]And night time is more trife than ever
[00:59.35]What up with Cormega? Did you see him? Are y'all together?
[01:05.01]If so, then hold the fort down, represent to the fullest
[01:06.98]Say what's up to Herb, Ice and Bullet
[01:09.37]I left a half a hundred in your commissary
[01:11.31]You was my nigga when push came to shove
[01:12.68](One what?) One love!
[01:12.80]One love, one love, one love, one love
[01:16.22]One love, one love, one love, one love
[01:21.47]One love, one love, one love, one love
[01:26.68]One love, one love, one love, one love
[01:32.65]Dear Born, you'll be out soon, stay strong
[01:35.36]Out in New York the same shit is goin' on
[01:37.90]The crackheads stalkin', loudmouths is talkin'
[01:40.50]Hold, check out the story yesterday when I was walkin'
[01:43.28]That nigga you shot last year tried to appear
[01:45.87]Like he hurtin' somethin'
[01:46.71]Word to mother, I heard him frontin'
[01:48.24]And he be pumpin' on your block
[01:49.78]Your man gave him your Glock
[01:51.23]And now they run together — what up, son? Whatever
[01:53.71]Since I'm on the streets I'ma put it to a cease
[01:56.01]But I heard you blew a nigga with a ox for the phone piece
[01:58.88]Wildin' on the Island, but now in Elmira
[02:01.22]Better chill, ‘cause them niggas will put that ass on fire
[02:04.05]Last time you wrote you said they tried you in the showers
[02:06.39]But maintain, when you come home the corner's ours
[02:08.99]On the reals, all these crab niggas know the deal
[02:11.49]When we start the revolution all they probably do is squeal
[02:14.15]But chill, see you on the next V-I
[02:16.39]I gave your mom dukes loot for kicks, plus sent you flicks
[02:19.40]Your brother's buckwildin' in 4-Main, he wrote me
[02:21.91]He might beat his case, 'til he come home he'll play it lowkey
[02:24.74]So stay civilized, time flies
[02:26.56]Though incarcerated your mind dies
[02:28.35]I hate it when your moms cries
[02:29.93]It kinda makes me want to murder, for reala
[02:32.24]I even got a mask and gloves to bust slugs, but one love
[02:35.23]One love, one love, one love, one love
[02:39.25]One love, one love, one love, one love
[02:43.97]One love, one love, one love, one love
[02:48.93]One love, one love, one love, one love
[02:54.18]Sometimes I sit back with a Buddha sack
[02:59.23][02:57.31]Mind's in another world, thinkin'
[03:00.96]"How can we exist through the facts?"
[03:03.53]Written in school text books, bibles, et cetera
[03:06.15]Fuck a school lecture, the lies get me vexed-er
[03:07.82]So I be ghost from my projects
[03:07.91]I take my pen and pad for the weekend
[03:09.65]Hittin' L's while I'm sleepin'
[03:11.11]A two-day stay, you may say I need the time alone
[03:13.77]To relax my dome, no phone, left the 9 at home
[03:16.45]You see the streets had me stressed somethin' terrible
[03:18.78]Fuckin' with the corners have a nigga up in Bellevue
[03:21.33]Or HDM, hit with numbers from 8 to 10
[03:23.95]A future in a maximum state pen is grim
[03:26.46]So I comes back home, nobody's out but Shorty Doo-Wop
[03:28.96]Rollin' two phillies together: in the Bridge we call 'em oo-wops
[03:31.55]He said: "Nas, niggas caught me bustin' off the roof
[03:33.95]So I wear a bulletproof and pack a black tre-deuce."
[03:36.54]He inhaled so deep, shut his eyes like he was sleep
[03:39.09]Started coughin', one eye peeked to watch me speak
[03:41.65]I sat back like The Mack, my army suit was black
[03:44.15]We was chillin' on these benches
[03:45.53]Where he pumped his loose cracks
[03:47.18]I took the L when he passed it, this little bastard
[03:49.94]Keeps me blasted and starts talkin' mad shit
[03:52.45]I had to school him, told him don't let niggas fool him
[03:54.69]‘Cause when the pistol blows
[03:56.04]The one that's murdered be the cool one
[03:57.57]Tough luck when niggas are struck, families fucked up
[04:00.24]Coulda caught your man, but didn't look when you bucked up
[04:02.45]Mistakes happen, so take heed, never bust up
[04:05.13]At the crowd, catch him solo, make the right man bleed
[04:07.53]Shorty's laugh was cold-blooded as he spoke so foul
[04:10.10]Only twelve, tryin' to tell me that he liked my style
[04:12.95]Then I rose, wipin' the blunt's ash from my clothes
[04:15.48]Then froze, only to blow the herb smoke through my nose
[04:18.09]And told my little man I'ma ghost, I broze
[04:20.52]Left some jewels in his skull that he can sell if he chose
[04:22.93]Words of wisdom from Nas: try to rise up above
[04:25.79]Keep an eye out for Jake, Shorty Wop, one love
[04:28.11]One love, one love, one love, one love
[04:32.22]One love, one love, one love, one love
[04:38.77]To all my niggas locked up
[04:42.03]From Queensbridge and all over
[04:46.82]To my man [Goon?], one love
[04:52.45]To my man [Her?], one love
[04:58.01]To my man [Lake Gucciano?], one love
[05:02.96]Can't forget my motherfuckin' heart, Big [Bo?], one love
[05:08.07]To [Oogie?], yeah, one love
