|
Stack all winter just to stunt in the summer,
|
Ridin in my new camaro, sometimes I wonder
|
Will it take me under or will it make me stronger
|
Thinking the times when I was broke it only gave me hunger
|
Shorty walking through the block it only made me wonder
|
My homies was sellin dope and doin jay-z numbers,
|
Niggas smoochin wrist was cold and throwin a.c. |
numbers,
|
They on it was from the zone, used to say we youngins
|
But we was ready though,
|
Around the time when all the rap was on the radio
|
Me and my niggas on the block with hammers heavy though
|
I used to put it in my hand ain’t wanna let it go
|
Ain’t wanna let it go, no
|
The work was low the numbers was right
|
Used to play the summer league a couple youngins was nice
|
They ain’t make it to the league cause it’ll fuck up your life
|
In the middle of the summer when you fucking with white

Ambulances rushin somebody mama cryin

|
North rushin, cops lock you like jamaican hair
|

|
Oldheads lookin out
|
Rest in peace, tears for the soldiers that got tooken out
|
I was in the streets, momma told me to be in the house
|
Ten o’clock I was on the block, moving in and out
|
City of brotherly love, I was only thirteen, I seen a puddle of blood,
|
Grown man lying there, he got one in his mug,
|
His grandma screaming, 'told you about selling them drugs! |
'
