i was born same time as da mob in 1991
my life was like a black hole, a barrel of a gun
it was projects, public housing i had no one to blame
at dat point i owned nothing excpet my own name
my life changed wen i was 7 wen i saw a man die
was so shocked i jus froze up, hell i couldnt even cry
after dat i couldnt stay home so i stayed out longer
and as da days went by i smelled reality stronger
very soon me and partners got our hands on some straps
so da dope boyz in da staircase started watchn deir yaps
but da heat came from downhill wea da wiseguys would kill
it was lyin dea loaded in a pool of blood dat dey spilled
about a year later me and my boys all got jumped
i got my jaw broken and got my ass stomped
my top jaw got broken in like 5 different places
da bald boys diddnt like us coz my friends were of different races
Armenians, Asians, Georgians were all our brothers
deir uncles at da top were da local Godfathers
plus i was third generation into dis mess
so wen asked if i wanted in i strait away jus sed yes
fings only got worse and my folks dey saw dis
so we came out hea as i now reminisce
but once u get into it den its hard to get out
coz u walk thru ur life wit ur head in da cloud
it gets so distorted you start finkin moneys da key
but now dat i look back on it, it seems repulsive to me
so i started livin like im in la cosa nostra
dreamin of foul shit, it made me like a monster
got so carried away and made so much cash
happened so fast dat it felt like a flash
den boyz started dyin i went outa mind
it hit me worse and worse for every damn time
sendin flowers to funerals readin rest in peace
u know wat dey say death comes in threes
at da end of it all u got money, guns, cars
but it really means nothing when u cnt cover your scars
feelin so bitter hatin wat uve become
hangin wit people dat u consider a scum
finally i had enuff and i sed i want out
had to pay wit all i had but i dnt regret it, no doubt
stirred up so much shit it got outta hand fast
now i got da red van boys watchn my ass
dem suckaz had me cornered and i was about to surrender
but i owe it to my friends for makin me a contender
come do ur worst but ima stay on track
coz inside me i know dat dey all got my bak
i got a Consigliere dat stuk thru and neva left
I am greatful to u vato so im wit u till death
Den i got a homegirl who neva lets me frown
i call her my cousin and so i neva look down
got also two ppls i call papi and mama
and i owe it to them for getn me thru dis drama
plus I got a lil homie wit a positive approach
hes da coolest lil brotha and im his basketball coach
and finally da reason dat im still in one piece
i got a guardian angel and i call her my niece
so as long as dey hea trust dat i am alive
coz since birth my best talent was knowin how to survive

Lets get it….
