Ayo I never claimed to be hard tough no homo gangsta none of the above

Just a kid from 145th and Lennox Ave

Harlem USA trying to make his way in the world ya heard

Ya know through the trial of tribulations that life brings

I lost some friends incarcerated some are gone forever

Ya know you can't expect everything from everybody

So get up get out and get somethin thats what I did

Before I had the hammer cocked

A Santana rock

Little Gerv Grandpa Jerry Grandma Doc thats my fam)

Uncle Carl Uncle Ted Uncle Steve Uncle Bill

Cousin Steve Cousin Bill up on the hill now

My Aunt Normy I don't speak to my Aunt Deita

Or my Cousin Bashiba love my Mother Fredricka

Neighbour Freida daughter Raven and Nika

Down another doorbell was that ni**a Warden Nell

He gave birth to the best emcee you never heard

Lever after lever and was clever with whatever word

Derek Armstead Bloodshed from C O C

He did damage road managed my G O D

Aka Duke Da God he was stupid hard

16 the b**ch dream had stupid cars

Cut the ' 68 hooptie ' 75

Still drives some b******t I don't know why

I loved the ni**a though for him put cris in the air

First one that diss him in here I swear I'll risk my career

Thats a fact they ain't talking no rap sh*t

I'm talking that mack clip niggas will backflip act sick

My dude study the sabbath

No beef veggie ni**a maybe some catfish

He could have my house he could keep my mauries

He could drive my cars this a eastside story

Thats why my dudes love me I let them do them

You either gonna be rich or famous f**kin wit me probably both

If you happen to brush shoulders wit me by accident

Play lotto nine out of ten times you gonna win ni**a

To play the game sure to win

I sacrificed I rolled the dice

I love the hood I love my life

See a boss I prepared to be

When I walk away from a confrontation I ain't scared of you I'm scared of me

I got a gun you don't so it flares you'll see

After that a 5 000 volt chair for me

So I move carefully niggas don't care for me

Who care I don't you share I won't

Calm down uhuh) breathe again

I don't do extortion unless I wanna recieve an end

Talk to my money first time I heard her speak what she say)

Thats word to me told me I deserve to eat what happened)

Moved to a killa ave right from a murder street what you did)

Rocked adida forms even though they hurt my feet thats f**ked up)

I don't look in the sky never mind stars

You also find stars right behind bars

Snazz Black Do' on house arrest

Zeke shiek won't even throw out the rest

They wanted my a** right alongside zeke

Turn myself in nope play hide and go seek

I'm gone put the clip in the chrome

Yeah i'm just like a fly see the sh*t that i'm on

And hour after hour I would chill at the afterhours

Where they flash the power no bath or shower

In that same spot realize math is power

So I pointed the mansion that is ours
