| Coka mythology, murder world, Uncle Howie in the big park
|
| The other kids knew the shit that he sparked
|
| Crack is the new shit on the block, they pitched and he copped
|
| Lost his mind, got high as fuck and lit up the spot
|
| So when I caught him smoking crack in my crib I kicked him out
|
| Almost kicked his ass but then I decided not to for what?
|
| Then he bounced with a tear in his eye
|
| I remember thinking the next time I see his face I hope he’s alive
|
| So lost in the excitement, no shame
|
| Fuck society’s indictments and fuck you too if you don’t like it
|
| That’s his attitude, that’s his outlook
|
| In and out of Riker’s Island all throughout my childhood
|
| A wild dude, I’ve done every drug you can name
|
| Except dope and crack cocaine
|
| I gotta thank Uncle Howie for that
|
| After seeing what he did to his life I stepped back
|
| Thank God I never got caught up or went back
|
| But weed is still a problem, I’m hooked on kush
|
| Hooked on chronic, rolling up the purple in the blunt
|
| I’m Chinese in the eyes, Lebanese with the nines
|
| American with the rhymes, Brooklyn till I die
|
| Esto son corridos de los más idos, los más locos
|
| Y son pocos, lo que no están torcidos
|
| A los narcos borrachos y cocodrilos
|
| No escogimos la vida simplemente fuimos nacidos
|
| Sé que la vida es dura y siempre está la duda,
|
| Yo sigo siendo quien soy hasta que deje viuda
|
| He was a Mexican, first generation, the kid was 10
|
| Used to play tools and mix booze for pop and his friends
|
| A mixmaster, yeah the kid was nice with the blends
|
| Just ice with two Cokes, a Super Socko with gin
|
| The streets saw a future narco in him
|
| He saw his father’s bad habits and went to cycle following them
|
| The bottle and the women and sin
|
| And the domestic violence, the silence of the music when it begins
|
| The alcohol was a part of his life, bigger than Christ
|
| Cause when he needed to cope he turned to the vice
|
| From a teen pregnancy to when his brother died twice
|
| He kept rolling the dice under the influence?
|
| He went from this close to killing himself to barely dodging death
|
| The scent of some liquor probably taint his last breath
|
| I feel less sympathy as time pass
|
| The more I see his reflection every time I look in the glass |
