| Talking:(To old Nell, Sigel street I ain’t forget you)
|
| Twenty niggas on the block trying to chase that buck
|
| Nosey neighbors and haters keep their face on stuck
|
| Cops roll up on the pavement break the dice games up
|
| Behind smoke kids can’t chase the ice cream truck
|
| Girls fighting over Rollie young boys hype things up
|
| Niggas fighting over Cold young boys light things up
|
| All the petty ass wars fuck the night scene up
|
| Remember Lil' Eddie man how he light mean up
|
| Then they wonder why we light green up
|
| Back to back steamers trying to relax but I can’t
|
| I lean up ain’t the L or the refer that steam up
|
| It’s my head stress to the point I get a fever
|
| Thinking bout the block and all the mothers and kids
|
| That can’t leave and how the Chinks gotta feed’em
|
| For the rest of their life fucking wings fried
|
| Vegetable rice (gotta be kidding)
|
| No breakfast Cap’n Crunch at night
|
| Our kids eating lunch at night
|
| In their beds all bunched in tight
|
| No less than three or four (you know how it go)
|
| Two by the foot two by the headboard
|
| Man I’m getting scared for them (Yeah I know)
|
| Thats how I feel for them
|
| And we gotta grip the shorties on the block
|
| All they do is smoke weed and drink forties
|
| Cop their quarties
|
| Enough to get the latest ROC, newest Glock, and old Jordies
|
