I used to think that I was hard

The kind of kid you don't wanna mess wit'

I'll fight you and your bodyguard

I was illeterate we're talkin' gibberish

But never considerate of the way I treated friends

I would fight ten kids and I would fly all heads

I would even fight dragons 'til they'd be dead

I would presidents and the mayor you bet

But it's just too bad because I ain't fought yet

You see I took a slug at no one

But if I ever did I'll have to show one

That I was like able to wreck it

I thought I knew but I didn't know

That all the talk in the world doesn't make you a pro

And so 'cause my first real fight in the hood

I would bash a skull if I could

But that's when these kids wrecked my world swept my feet up

Straight got illed and I was nearly killed

It never crossed my mind

I could go ten different places at one time all at one time)

I could jump through my ears and walk through my mind walk through my mind)

I never thought that it could happen to you

I never thought that it could happen to me

But then it happend see

Coolin' out chillin' with my homeboy Paul

Now we was chillin' talkin' to ladies up inside of the mall

I got a few numbers and some girl's address

So I was feelin' kinda fly and I was dressed real fresh

We was coolin' as if we didn't care

He was too busy talkin' and so he wasn't aware

That's when he caught a slug to his chest

A hole in his vest worst of all he made a mess all over the carpet

Started to tumble all over the place

'Cause a bullet has no name it sees no face

Anyways this girl pulled a trigger on us

She was tryin' to kill the man who's next to the man

Who's next to the man what

And that's all he gots to give

He's ready to die but I'm hopin' he lives

It never crossed his mind

For my groupies why must you do me

You never knew me so what makes you hot for me

Is it fortune and fame just because of my name

You wanna tell your friends that you did it Skee

See we can't be because there is no us

You and I won't happen so don't make no fuss

Now we could persist with a hug and a kiss

But I can't help but wonder "who's daughter is this "

I'm glad you respect me now let me respect you

If I was a dog then I might want you

But if you want it that bad then baby don't get mad

Because you're welcome to share with the rest of my crew

Now that's on you

I know you fellas who ain't wit' it

You're thinkin' "like dang Skee why don't you hit it do that yeah "

But you better think again

Next groupie could be your girlfriend

Just in case it never crossed your mind

You never what could happen

Everyday situations

It could happen you're going to the store

Somebody drop a house on you and steal yo' slippers

Who knows

Never crossed your mind
