Niggaz cessed you out, that's how it goes down |
|
What happened to the days |

|
So you could be another number in the system, stuck for years |
|
Got a brother in the pen fucked up |
|
All the stashes you know you kept and everything that the police left |

It's too late when you notice it, it's all gone |
