| It’s a hot summer day in the year of 84'
|
| Fresh out of summer school headed for the store
|
| Watchin the O.G.'s standing out gettin rich
|
| Slangin the fat brown bags of the good shit
|
| Dope is out but I really ain’t seen it though
|
| Dope fiends smokin the shit by the corner store
|
| Broke as fuck kinda bummy with nappy hair
|
| But what can I say when a playa’s on welfare
|
| Life is hard and I’m only 13
|
| Always on a prowl, always on a scheme
|
| There wasn’t nothin to do but have fun
|
| Wait for the dark then creep to Emporium
|
| Get the T.I., get the Guess shirts
|
| Get the fresh couch break for the turf
|
| Doin it boley never in fear
|
| Gettin they punk ass for about a year
|
| Until I got called, went to the hall
|
| Writin on the wall, waitin for a hair call
|
| Released to moms, what can I say
|
| Off to Sears, the very next day
|
| Now Sears is easier cuz it’s in the area
|
| Walk to the back of the rack then carried the
|
| Shit back to the stolen car
|
| Drive and park by the house is not too far
|
| My gear was fat but still no money though
|
| Talked to my homey then got fronted so
|
| Stackin my shit, hustlin cash
|
| Gotta get out, gave him his half
|
| Hooked up with a friend oh we started boomin
|
| Then we go to some O’s then I went solo
|
| Stackin my pay gettin it on
|
| Got myself a beeper and a cellular phone
|
| A donkey roll, a twenty-two
|
| Jumped on my bike, headed for school
|
| Locked up my shit, cuz the fools be gankin
|
| A young nigga pimpin that Benjamin Franklin
|
| So I walked the halls, wishin the Merrier
|
| Hooked up with a freak by the cafeteria
|
| Hair was long, pretty with butt
|
| I told the freak I was about to cut
|
| So call me at eight and don’t be late
|
| When I left the school there was a big mistake
|
| So I jumped on my bike and headed for the set
|
| With a pocketful of rocks ah man I regret
|
| For not stayin in school, for just doin my work
|
| Gettin chased by the Task now I feel like a jerk
|
| So I’m on the run and I better run fast
|
| Cuz if I don’t they’re gonna beat my ass
|
| Hit a quick cut, run by the Ave.
|
| Go to the Valley you know I gotta laugh
|
| Jogged to the third floor runnin the dope spot
|
| A playa too quick a young brotha can’t get caught
|
| Bitch want credit better go to the bank
|
| Then my homey walked in with the straight-laced dank
|
| Two young playas gettin high on the couch
|
| In a spot, at a dope fiend’s house
|
| Two hours passed now it must be cool |
