I had a homie named Tony 16, 6'2 |
[00:20.98] |
Headed to the NBA straight from High School |
[00:23.22] |
My nigga has his ball game on lock |
[00:25.52] |
But at the same time he was in love with the glock |
[00:27.83] |
All the stuff that came wit it the drugs and the guns, |
[00:30.28] |
the gangs the slang and all the funds |
[00:32.52] |
He just got a letter of detent fron the Cavaliers |
[00:35.06] |
saying how they love him and they wish he was there |
[00:37.06] |
He had it made like special-ed about to get the bread |
[00:39.56] |
But chose to do something dumb instead |
[00:41.77] |
Go to war with the crew on the other side of town |
[00:44.05] |
And was more ready and Tony got laided down |
[00:46.49] |
He ain't even have a chance |
[00:47.80] |
Died before the ambulance even got to him |
[00:50.14] |
So many went through him |
[00:51.31] |
I hate to tell the story but that's how it is |
[00:53.48] |
Growing up in the hood as a kid |
[00:55.35] |

I knew a girl named Gina that was a hell of a singer |
[01:16.93] |
And everybody fell in love with her when they seen her |
[01:19.28] |
Babygirl was on the verge of signing a big deal |
[01:21.70] |
18 and life looked so so real |
[01:23.92] |
She was stuck with a dude that was all bad news |
[01:26.48] |
And all he ever did was give baby the blues |
[01:28.51] |
And she was true to a nigga, do for a nigga, |
[01:31.16] |
pop you and your whole crew for a nigga |
[01:33.24] |
One night he came and picked her up, told her let's ride |
[01:35.81] |
That's the same night that he watched her die |
[01:37.92] |
They was tryna hit a lick but the lick hit back |
[01:40.29] |
Put a end to the deal and all of that |
[01:42.61] |
She ain't even have to be there and he knew it wasn't right |
[01:45.08] |
Now he gotta deal wit it for the rest of his life |
[01:47.36] |
And the part I don't like he ain't even get grazed |
[01:49.69] |
But the home girl Gina is laying in the grave |
[01:51.94] |

I got a few relatives giving the family drama |
[02:13.26] |
Always got they hands out when they see me and my mama |
[02:15.44] |
One could have been a doctor, the other a chef |
[02:17.75] |
But when he got his own kitchen he was cooking something else |
[02:20.22] |
Now his life in the drain, a trifling shame |
[02:22.68] |
He all washed up, wife took erything |
[02:24.88] |
No car no more, no house |
[02:26.51] |
And everywhere he go he stole so they throwed him out |
[02:29.52] |
I was growing up looking up to be like them |
[02:31.81] |
Now I'm throwing up cash rolling up in the bent |
[02:34.21] |
I'm stuck with a dream I had since a shorty |
[02:36.57] |
and I'll be damned if I let another man support me |
[02:38.92] |
