| Crime, corruption, courage
|
| Power, pussy, paper
|
| Beef, bullets and barristers
|
| It’s all a dangerous cycle
|
| CPB… Blah Blah Blah Blow
|
| Crime, corruption and courage
|
| Three reasons that I rated the olders
|
| Now I got weight on my shoulders like luggage
|
| In school I never studied
|
| At 3: 15 home I never hurried, now mums worried
|
| Is she ever gonna see her son flourish?
|
| A lot of my friends have been duppied
|
| Knife to the stomach, the lord soon cometh
|
| I don’t wanna burn in hell
|
| Or do a bird in jail, I felt a warmer shell
|
| And sometimes when I curse my girl
|
| I wanna resort to violence
|
| In the long run I’ll be hurt as well
|
| I don’t wanna work but I got work for sale
|
| Some niggas have got keys like they work for Yale
|
| Police hate when the worst prevail
|
| It’s old evidence, stop tryna preserve what’s stale
|
| It’s a dangerous cycle

|
| Power, pussy and paper
|
| The dreams of a teen, things ain’t what they seem
|
| Blades and machines still stick place in between
|
| Your waist and your jeans
|
| Manna do a mad ting for the taste of the cream
|
| Some take to the green
|
| And start shottin' H to the fiends
|
| I stay fresh to death, down to my laces are clean
|
| I’m in love with the face of the queen
|
| I’m paper possessed
|
| I’m bound to be paid for my scheme
|
| I’m so far from aimless
|
| Money makes my brain tick
|
| Ain’t nothing like pussy and a payslip, face it
|
| I’m never gonna tell you how, my trades sacred
|
| But when I’m low you’ll never know where I’m allocated
|
| Still I expect respect cause man know I ain’t naked
|
| Because I guess I’d be a victim of hatred
|
| It’s a dangerous cycle

|
| Nowadays the streets are filled with cameras
|
| Still it’s so hazardous
|
| Some get brung back to life like Nazareth
|
| Yeah it’s miraculous
|
| I tell amateurs «stay to the side"like bannisters
|
| When I say I’ve got metal they think I mean canisters
|
| Wars I’ve had you couldn’t count on an abacus
|
| I’m so calamitous
|
| My names Ghetto but life ain’t fabulous
|
| Everyday I’m around clamorous characters
|
| Some think the gun ting’s so glamorous
|
| But in a shootout what you gonna do now?
|
| Leave him with a hole the size of two pound
|
| You won’t bust save yourself the embarrassment
|
| Believe me I know all about arrogance
|
| Even when you know it’s precarious
|
| It’s a dangerous cycle

|
| Always think first
