In this Slum Village it's Common to see a Smif-N-Wessun
In the hands off a Rugged teen filled with aggression
I ain't gon' Keep Repeating sh**, One shot to learn the lesson
And everything I say, aims to show you The Message
Time has pa**ed me by it's gotta' be a Cyne
I worry 'bout travelling to the Pharcyde that's why I rhyme
Cause it's Hard to Earn unless you're in a Gang
I look up at the Stars but still I drop simple street slang
Cause every track gives you an insight into Ebonics
I was raised on cla**ics, I grew up on Mantronix
It's not a Game and Doggs should never snoop
Or turn a Crook, what you see through your I should never reach no book
If my Prodigy wrote them down I'd be upset
If you write up the wrong person, you best Protect Ya 'Neck
Cause there's a war going on, survival off the fittest
Mobbs run deep in the streets, Strictly Business
I really live this, why you think there's never a witness?
Cause real G's are vicious and leave you swimming with the fishes
No Evidence found once in a while my Thoughts go Black
I snap out off it and return to bumping Kool G Rap
I'll leave you lying underground like Masta Ace
These bars are just a taste to show you how much I'm disgraced
That the pioneers have been defaced, they face left scarred
From all the wack bullsh** that's torn apart music that was once art
