| This is the story of a place, that we call home
|
| Where the kids pack heat when it’s time to roam
|
| Everybody’s on the scramble, life’s a gamble
|
| Hoppin on the white horse, tryin to get a handle
|
| On the fast pace that we call the last race
|
| Step wit precaution when you enter this place
|
| We got a spot on every block that makes ya dreams come true
|
| Just come correct wit the snapses or ya doo
|
| Don’t come cryin broke, still tryin to cop the dope
|
| What parts of no, do not you understand bro
|
| We can’t afford to take shorts or be playing sports
|
| Empires need to be built, mack 10's bought
|
| Or even caught for them deceased ass hustlers
|
| And we still got the pound for ya living muthafuckas
|
| What goes around comes back to the roots

|
| Pigs rushin the crib to catch a collar now I’m fed
|
| What the face now, me and my people’s taste crown

|
| What they found was irrelevant, the weed cuz
|
| They was sent to represent and cause a ruckus amongst us Now I got more pigs rushin we, handcuffin me Takin hold of we, in the custody
|
| For blushin in, rasta boy restin in peace

|
| To hit the streets, where the war still off for all of y’all
|
| Cuz they kept rule locked behind the wall
|
| No time at all, no fake, no jacks
|
| Perhaps when the gat spins, niggas won’t even know what happen
|
| I’ll be glad when my man come home
|
| Cuz in the zone muthafuckas grab ya chrome
|
| The eye three time, as lead transpire
|
| Currency change, change from yours to mine
|
| Greenbacks talk bullshit, floats on water
|
| Pager goin off, call comin from headquarters
|
| I was told if the secret code appears
|
| It means some bwoy want dead, prepare for warfare
|
| Fuck the truth, we bringin the noose for ya loose talk
|
| So think smart, or rest in parts if ya do start
|
