[Verse 1 ] Nowadays you gots' ta walk the street and watch your back Cause brothers with the gats don't be knowin' how to act They always pull the Glock when somebody rocks a knot And if they get shot they often snitch to the cops Now tell me this ain't livin foul She just had a baby child and she's back to sellin' cracks vials On the Ave cause she's addicted to the fast cash How long will that last before the cops be up in that a** But honey-dip dont wanna listen cause she's in no position Now nobody gives a pot to piss in Her life is stuck and filled with bad luck So she f**s and f**s to earn another buck She don't really care about pride And she jumps into another ride then comittin' suicide [Hook 2x] June Luva: Hey Yo, this goes on and on Shy Everybody's doin' their own thing From hookerin' to drug slang (repeat 2) Verse Two (Shyheim): Times is gettin' hard, word is bond I swear God I even got caught tryin' to steal from the junkyard A born terror, A rebel without a pause Ain't nevah had a good Christmas so who is Santa Claus I walk the streets at night with my head down
In this lil' town you see clowns that wanna be down So they get a Glock and lick shots to get props And when sh** rocks you can hear when the shells drop An old man got shot in the parkin' lot In front of my buildin' I hang with his grandchildren And for the n***a that pulled the trigga and tried to slide And hide, but he got knocked by the homicide And this happens everyday around my way So I pray that I can live another day Hook Hey Yo, get a load of this guy you know the Mr. Hard-y He the one who talk about gats but ain't' bustin nobody He speaks the name game so he can just maintain I'd blow him out the frame but his mom said he gang bang But his rep was hi-tech in the projects Pulled his knuckle-jacks so he got mad respect The n***as in hoodies packed up their loaded gats Met up in the back so they could plan the attack Wasn't hard to tell that these kids was no joke They let the pistol smoke and at nine was dopin' and coked I seen it happen everyday where I live I know a few brothers, drug dealers, most of them fugitives Hook x5
