|
| This ain’t livin', it’s similar to prison, we’re trapped
|
| My homies jealous plus they tell us that the phones is tapped
|
| I watch my back twenty-fo' seven
|
| And never let a busta send a G to ghetto heaven, you know
|
| This is how it goes when we floss with flows
|
| Before I toss your ho, it’ll cost you mo'

|
| Heavenly father can you rescue
|
| My young nation, rest the Lord will protect you, respect due
|
| Not a threat as I step in blue, and check those
