the life and times always gains the interest
it's never hard when speaking the truth you find the simplest
way to put it like your getting it across to infants
they all gotta understand all the damage I witnessed
yeah
I grew where bullets flew
plus you had to rep the block where you from to the fullest too
179 went through division went they fought for spots
if not
some found religion even spoke to God. 8
Dominicans and Ricans couldn't get along
we both shared the same language but he said it wrong

when ripped jeans was bum shit
red white gold Adidas Ewing's with the tounge big

starter jackets robbed on many corners
sheepskin coats stained from bloody throats Early mornings
there nothing left but cremation for their final calling
didn't fall back
left with his spinal falling

or quiet places for no one to see the hold-ups

just stay away from mine or find that's not what we bout son
seen too many lose they freedom trusting outta love
head low lost faith cussing out above
circumstances tend to change your chances in the ghetto
but there's two types
the ones that move the one's that settle
