[Verse]
You don’t know about this rapping shit, n***as get clapped and shit
War time in the field, baby killed, no accident
A real n***a taught me real, said I had to practice it
I need a quarter for my daughter, the streets, they can have this shit
You don’t know how bad it is, n***as dying left and right
The heat, I gotta carry that shit, a life for a life
These young boys don’t really care and shit, get life for a life
Sitting a hundred years in jail and shit, sitting in a cell and shit
Thinking in a box, gotta live life through mail and shit
Changing life in jail, you see the lord, you’ve been to hell and shit
Always been a wild child, they can never tell me shit
Then I started rapping on 'em, school I used to fail that shit
On the block, pills, weed, rocks, I was selling shit
48 investigate, they knew I wasn’t gon’ tell them shit
Mama stressing all the time, losing all her hair and shit
I gotta get it, they can’t tell me shit, real n***a for life
