J came from a place Or it don't matter your race Just the color of the flag That cover your face He was real smart in school But that didn't pay the bills And moms laid off And his dad got k**ed Back in ninety 4 The year junior was born And ever since him and his momma Been liven on their own For what she could do She raised him real good But people gotta eat And the streets feed good Too broke for college Too hood for scholarships Plus with his record They didn't even acknowledge him J had a past And didn't wanna go back But he would be liven on the streets If he didn't get cash
So j called up roc Roc called his connect Roc told j meet him at 9 By the caverns Roc and j go way back Before first grade So j trusted roc With everything he saved But roc was in some sh** Debt with the wrong clique A company named po They would pay to see him dead Roc was gon rob j To save himself and pay And if things got bad k** j and just flee Roc forgot to press end And j was still listening And he caught roc say That jay is on the way It wasn't his connect Cuz roc had to call him So maybe roc was hostage Or its just part of the plan
