| And this is why I love the month may
|
| The untamed will chase cash to make stacks
|
| Monday to sunday the same track
|
| And somehow, someway
|
| Officers find reasons to line us up
|
| Like blind mindless ducks hooked in iron cuffs
|
| Zoning off to illmatic like it’s real graphic
|
| They carry gutting knives, dusty pipes and steel ratchets
|
| And it’s the perfect time for payback
|
| To clean him out like ajax
|
| Raise the 12-gauge and made him lay flat
|
| All colours of brothers killing brothers
|
| Worried mothers stressing to death
|
| Left to raise grown men with no assistance
|
| All I know is resistance
|
| Yet most of us will go the distance
|
| Racking up a list of known convictions
|
| This is a year in the life of oscar the slouch
|
| The grumpy grouch keeping up nightwatch
|
| Bare punk in the sole of my air dunks
|
| Split a meal for one into two and share blunts
|
| Getting hotboxed in
|
| Cotching in the kitchen with the big long bong
|
| Until the filth dropped in
|
| Cut the spliff and keep the cherry lit
|
| No canoeing or any rips
|
| Pebs and henrys for big belly chicks
|
| Loads of different kitties roped into the smoke then
|
| With grotesque girlfriends still toking after the roach ends
|
| Hopeless teen, dagger poking out my coat sleeve
|
| Destined to be the casualty of my own greed
|
| Stolen goods and a four-four stored in a sock drawer
|
| Moody crooks and villains that cotch on the top floor of towerblocks
|
| One-track mind-mentals
|
| Listening to goodfellas and cellar dwellers
|
| Power bikes and rentals
|
| They never tell us that it’s hard to earn
|
| Banging Gang Starr
|
| Street smarts ain’t that hard to learn
|
| The three-quarter length shorts, the sun visors
|
| The fake bouncers outside the clubs, the drunk drivers
|
| The guy who got shivved with 72 ounces
|
| The questionings, police cells, prisons and courthouses
|
| Half of them are crooked and corrupted
|
| Like the fully nasty yardies that smuggle garlic on their bullets
|
| Pass the dutchy with the bumpy knuckles
|
| D.I.T.C. |
| remixes in this mean district seeing three sixes
|
| So fuck a popularity contest
|
| You’ll wind up dead in them flats or catching a long stretch |
