1970 -something, nigga, I don't sweat the date My mom's was late, so I had to plan my escape
Out the skins, in this world, the fly girls Tangaraya, Hennessy, until I caught Earl
Ten months in this glut, what the fuck?
I wish Mars a hurry up so I could get buck Wild juvenile, rippin' mics and shit
New York, New York, ready for the likes of this
Then came the worst date, May 21st, 2 -19, that's when my momma water burst
No spouse in the house, so she rolled for self To the hospital to see if she could get
a little help Umbilical cords wrapped around my neck
I'm seein' my death and I ain't even took my first step
I made it out, I'm bringin' mad joy The doctor looked and said, he's gonna be
a bad boy
Penitentiaries, black with promise makers Never realized the precious time that bitch
niggas is wastin' Institutionalized, I live my life, a product
Made me grumble, I'm too hard and forced, man
When it's crazy to be humble, we ballin' Catch me, pop a piece, it's a callin'
In the niggas' store, that's the Hennessy I hear callin'
Can I get some more?
Hell, till I reach hell, I ain't scared Momma checkin' in my bedroom, and I ain't there
Now I'm 13, smokin' blunts, makin' cream On the drug scene, fuck the football team
Risk it, ruptured spleens by the age of 16 Hearin' the coach scream, ain't my lifetime
dream I mean, I wanna blow up, stack my dough up
So school, I didn't show up and fuck my flow up
Mom said that I should grow up and check myself Before I wreck myself, disrespect myself
Put the drugs on the shelf
Now I couldn't see it, small face, king of New York, I wanna be it
Rap was secondary, money was necessary Until I got incarcerated, kinda scary
C -74 mod X set me straight Not able to move behind the great steel gate
Time to contemplate, damn, where did I fail? All the money I stacked was all the money for bail
