| Word to mama, man, damn
 | 
| Tryna get the fuck up outta there, huh?
 | 
| It’s real life, man
 | 
| Just gotta keep your head in the right direction,
 | 
| Don’t play with these niggas out here
 | 
| Gotta be strong though
 | 
| Only the strong survive, you heard?
 | 
| Real rap, The Chef, yeah
 | 
| Hey, yo
 | 
| From blazin' chandeliers on throats, we gangstas with hope
 | 
| With trappers in traffic, there’s land on the coast
 | 
| Pipelines be pumpin' nighttime with kilos dispersed
 | 
| A bulletproof hearse in back of the church, see they grind
 | 
| The timeline won’t even last, they 25's, quick to spaz
 | 
| Yeah, then flip on that ass
 | 
| The block’s burnin'
 | 
| Narcs and sharks, thugs and drugs
 | 
| Clogs and knots and rocks and parks
 | 
| Hold your slime, I need money
 | 
| But hate bein' the stickup kid
 | 
| 'Cause what I did could have cost me a whole lifetime
 | 
| And everybody knowin' everybody
 | 
| Niggas in front of the lobbies until bodies drop
 | 
| How he got lined?
 | 
| Keep it movin', keep your loved ones movin'
 | 
| See, we started a movement
 | 
| I guess we Grand Groovin', y’all
 | 
| Checks the shines until then we fine
 | 
| Cash rule everything around mine in the mind
 | 
| Now rewind, yo
 | 
| What is it?
 | 
| Real-life
 | 
| Huh, traumatizin'
 | 
| Word up
 | 
| Concrete jungle
 | 
| The real question is
 | 
| What I didn’t see, ha ha
 | 
| Uh
 | 
| Days to decades, the drugs raids to sex craze
 | 
| From Fruits Loops and leche made it to head jefe
 | 
| Fiends on check day, murder scenes when the TEC spray
 | 
| The segue, you gotta have sight beyond the X-ray
 | 
| Pump shotties, slump bodies in front lobbies
 | 
| Young hotties gettin' drunk hoppin' in Mazzies
 | 
| Blunt robberies, niggas owin', tip toein', it’s sick
 | 
| Been in the mix since Slick Rick flowin', legit
 | 
| Lost for words when they offed the homie Surge on the jooks
 | 
| My whole outlook on life was blurred
 | 
| Them corner curves just bein' there, ain’t even fair
 | 
| And as far as leavin' there, if you do, I don’t even care
 | 
| Seen it all from Sutter Ave to Seton Hall
 | 
| East Elmhurst to Eaton wall, we grieve and more
 | 
| Same song just sets changin', rep claimin'
 | 
| From sellin' crack to rap, I kept aimin'
 | 
| Yeah, Kay Slay shit, baby
 | 
| Let’s go in
 | 
| Shootouts, unexplainable murders where shit runs deep
 | 
| Late-night commotions, the neighbors can’t sleep
 | 
| That’s why I pose in the flicks with my heat, one deep
 | 
| I got burners all over the place like a song leak
 | 
| My man open arms for a hug, I’m reachin'
 | 
| I gotta tell myself take your hand off the grip, they greetin' (Get off the gun,
 | 
| man)
 | 
| Automatic spit like a dumb bitch with a tongue ring
 | 
| It’s classic like them DAT machines up in King (Woo)
 | 
| Death before dishonor, we pray for your mama
 | 
| She don’t never have to pick a killer’s face in a lineup (Nah)
 | 
| His criminal lawyer, his face resembles a young Oscar De La Hoya
 | 
| This kid’s attorney is torture
 | 
| In these streets, dust heads big bags of
 | 
| Like a skeleton sucked in, they bones is weak
 | 
| Miss ya, ATF come through swingin' that big shit
 | 
| No Popeyes, they here to put two in your biscuit |
