| [00:24.28] |
I'm yawning while I'm waking to the early morning gunfire |
| [00:26.83] |
Another day another scar to require |
| [00:29.42] |
Jumped out my bed |
| [00:30.25] |
Tried to break my alarm |
| [00:31.48] |
Took a shower and then I strapped on my firearm |
| [00:34.33] |
Grabbed my Pelle Pelle cause I wanna look fly when I die |
| [00:37.31] |
But it ain't my turn to say goodbye |
| [00:39.10] |
How do I know |
| [00:40.39] |
Some people call it instinct |
| [00:41.98] |
I like to call it my luck |
| [00:43.34] |
Who gives a f**k |
| [00:44.22] |
I'm stuck in this environment and can't depart from it |
| [00:46.96] |
And if I try I always end up back where I started |
| [00:49.61] |
Plan A |
| [00:50.08] |
Square 1 |
| [00:50.72] |
There's no escaping |
| [00:52.15] |
So I've come to realize my truth |
| [00:53.70] |
Tryna live my full life until my time is through |
| [00:56.55] |
Clocks ticking |
| [00:57.37] |
So I don't got no time for you |
| [00:58.89] |
As I head outside |
| [00:59.82] |
Amongst the rest of the animals |
| [01:01.75] |
Is where I feel relaxed and safe and I can stand still |
| [01:04.89] |
It's sorta like a family bond |
| [01:06.52] |
We gather up all the soldiers and form into an ignition |
| [01:09.08] |
A swarm of kids |
| [01:10.27] |
Now it's on again |
| [01:11.31] |
Drinking straight from the bottle |
| [01:12.65] |
Warm gin dripping down my chin |
| [01:14.37] |
For the ones securing |
| [01:15.80] |
You can't win against 25 niggas bent up with mac 10 semi-automatics |
| [01:19.13] |
|
| [01:20.24] |
Full-addicted crime addicts |
| [01:21.75] |
So long as there is cash involved |
| [01:23.21] |
I gotta have it |
| [01:24.29] |
There's many different levels to the criminal mind |
| [01:26.40] |
Either you in it for the money or you wasting your time |
| [01:28.96] |
My destiny will be the death of me |
| [01:30.78] |
Forever loving my peoples |
| [01:31.99] |
Hustling |
| [01:32.22] |
It's only right |
| [01:33.26] |
Niggas be juggling to survive |
| [01:34.50] |
It's only crime that provides for me |
| [01:36.53] |
So I resort to puffing dimes and dreaming of pushing a ride |
| [01:38.91] |
Negative thoughts fill my brain but it's the projects to blame |
| [01:41.22] |
Niggas forever getting loot while standing out in the rain |
| [01:43.62] |
So when the sun shine |
| [01:44.77] |
Niggas will be writing a rhyme |
| [01:46.07] |
And if a nigga owing |
| [01:47.25] |
Blood is how I'm taking mine |
| [01:48.68] |
As I climb the ladder |
| [01:50.04] |
Of success with techs |
| [01:51.45] |
Though I rather not have to watch my back get threat |
| [01:53.90] |
But it's like that |
| [01:54.63] |
So while you just f**ked |
| [01:55.64] |
Getting touched |
| [01:56.11] |
Your man wasn't aware |
| [01:57.30] |
That's why that nigga got bucked |
| [01:59.23] |
I realize open my eyes once this shit got real |
| [02:01.32] |
There's mad drama on the Hill when niggas getting blue steel |
| [02:03.56] |
I love my niggas for that |
| [02:05.07] |
We keep it real |
| [02:05.91] |
Get loot |
| [02:06.36] |
And our identity is wearing army certified suits |
| [02:09.03] |
Most deaf my people hold me down whenever with me |
| [02:11.34] |
Talking all that bullshit but it's the gats the rules the streets |
| [02:14.43] |
Survival of the fittest automatics recommended |
| [02:16.94] |
Given a life sentence to crime until my life is ended |
| [02:19.76] |
Niggas wanna point guns in my face |
| [02:21.75] |
So what (What What) |
| [02:22.78] |
I'm taking mines in blood |
| [02:23.72] |
|
| [02:24.47] |
Niggas forever talking shit |
| [02:25.93] |
So what (And what) |
| [02:27.74] |
I'm taking mines in blood |
| [02:29.63] |
Try to jam me on pack |
| [02:31.18] |
So what (And what) |
| [02:32.79] |
I'm taking mines in blood |
| [02:34.79] |
Niggas running out their mouth |
| [02:36.16] |
So what (Motherf**ker) |
| [02:37.81] |
I'm taking mines in blood |
| [02:39.15] |
How we do it |
| [02:40.25] |
How we do it |
| [02:41.28] |
We taking ours in blood |
| [02:42.46] |
We taking ours in blood |
| [02:45.10] |
How we do it |
| [02:45.90] |
How we do it |
| [02:47.31] |
|
| [02:47.98] |
We taking ours in blood |
| [02:48.97] |
|
| [02:50.47] |
We taking ours in blood |
| [02:53.00] |
We taking ours in blood |
| [02:55.10] |
|
| [02:58.78] |
This city got me trapped like an animal with criminal thoughts |
| [03:01.51] |
I can't seem to turn away from this unknown force |
| [03:04.04] |
If only I can lay my hands on the source of my trouble |
| [03:06.84] |
Then maybe I can heal my scar before it bubbles |
| [03:09.28] |
It's like a play |
| [03:10.33] |
And there ain't no cure |
| [03:11.42] |
We observe this world's filth |
| [03:12.94] |
Therefore we're unpure |
| [03:13.78] |
My life is like a bad dream I can't seem to shake |
| [03:16.74] |
Only my peoples who are equal understand or relate |
| [03:18.69] |
The way we live is never planned |
| [03:20.28] |
It just happened that way |
| [03:21.32] |
So until tomorrow I'll just be surviving today |
| [03:24.03] |
I'm just another man |
| [03:25.25] |
On this planet living for death |
| [03:26.51] |
Pops gone |
| [03:27.14] |
I had to learn to be a man myself |
| [03:29.17] |
But I don't stress that |
| [03:30.90] |
He did his dirt |
| [03:31.88] |
Now he pays back waiting in a federal laid back |
| [03:33.98] |
Pops times is different and things ain't the same |
| [03:36.75] |
It's worse than ever to get paid we do whatever |
| [03:39.23] |
See some rather achieve goals and be a scholar |
| [03:41.78] |
I rather get locked like you |
| [03:43.23] |
Earning a 6-digit dollar |
| [03:44.87] |
Making the desert bird holler |
| [03:46.31] |
Doing white collar crimes |
| [03:47.83] |
But the fed time is hard to swallow |
| [03:49.59] |
And digest so I protest the pen |
| [03:51.50] |
I rather die before the jail cell sucks me in |
| [03:53.75] |
And my peoples we all share the same thinking |
| [03:55.93] |
We all the same on the same tempo |
| [03:58.02] |
Making cowards perpetual |
| [03:59.40] |
Pull out the tech |
| [04:00.20] |
Automatic metro |
| [04:01.22] |
My shots chase you round corners |
| [04:02.79] |
Leaving your family a bunch of mourners |
| [04:04.70] |
And I'm all-around |
| [04:05.53] |
Point as that |
| [04:06.72] |
If you feel me you're guaranteed something you can feel back |
| [04:09.66] |
Kid you don't know me |
| [04:10.82] |
You don't wanna know me |
| [04:12.09] |
You tried to blow me your weak side just showed me |
| [04:14.45] |
Stepped out my door on 41st Side at 12 |
| [04:16.74] |
Didn't see my crew around so I got bent for search |
| [04:19.15] |
I had to jet back upstairs so I can stash my 9 |
| [04:21.60] |
It was a Friday night Rikers had it bad one time |
| [04:24.08] |
Cause niggas getting bagged on a regular son |
| [04:26.57] |
Does like f**k the drugs |
| [04:27.95] |
All we want is the guns |
| [04:29.18] |
So I proceed with caution |
| [04:30.45] |
Eyes open whenever walking |
| [04:31.95] |
Niggas be ass talking then be victims of extortion |
| [04:34.42] |
Hold myself down the only way I know |
| [04:36.56] |
Niggas pumping back in streets |
| [04:38.01] |
In debt cause they owe |
| [04:39.13] |
Street life is like a trial |
| [04:40.52] |
Ass out if you blow |
| [04:41.71] |
The maximum is death son you know how that go |
| [04:44.54] |
Got me on point |
| [04:45.53] |
Paranoid for life |
| [04:46.66] |
That's why I walk the street with heat especially at night |
| [04:49.07] |
I represent the North side I hold the title and pride |
| [04:51.57] |
And when its on |
| [04:52.58] |
I use the infrared for guide |
| [04:54.21] |
Aim it at your temple |
| [04:55.43] |
With no remorse and never sentimental |
| [04:57.11] |
My crew is cold-hearted from all the foul shit we been through |
| [04:59.72] |
Surviving shootouts |
| [05:00.44] |
Bullets hitting the fence sparking |
| [05:02.07] |
Buck my fingers with guns niggas I'm marking til the blocks darkened |
| [05:05.44] |
Doing my thing |
| [05:06.25] |
Let my gun clap |
| [05:08.75] |
|
| [05:09.92] |
It's like that |
