"Okay, as a young man in the streets i was Street poison obligated to a life in the Streets and I came up under guys that was Hustling in the streets and because I seen Them hustling then I began to Hustle and the hustling … and being street poison caused me five Life terms and a 135 years of federal state Prisons never to walk the streets again" Somebody must be praying cause I Ain’t ‘pose to make it I think about it every time I see my kids’ faces My pops wasn’t around and my Momma was free basin’ I was always on the grind In and out of police stations The legal system love to see A young nigga fumble and all my city is Is just a young nigga jungle They get it how they live I watched them young niggas hustle Bob and weave like Ali "Rumble Young nigga rumble!" And I was hard headed ain’t Nobody wanna talk to me I was sick on filling-up on Hotdogs and pork and beans Caught a dope case Paid a lawyer and he fought for me My momma said a prayer and my Wife came to court with me Guilty as charged for whipping that hard Just to feel normal I had to sit in that car But none of that matters when You sit behind bars Piss and shit in that stall Blowing sticks in that yard Nowadays they don’t know the Meaning of a boss When I was up top I heard my team took a loss The set got intercepted My people took a charge We ain’t even sweat it, moved on Shook it off if I was in the town That probably would’ve been me Whole brick rottin' in a rented SUV Life taught me this even freedom ain’t free I say a prayer every night Right before I go to sleep I could’ve been a lawyer instead I was a gangster All worked out for a nigga so I’m thankful Strays hitting kids, niggas dying over paper In my hood'll still ride like I Just filled the tank up I ain’t that spiritual but I’m a walking miracle We used to be poor, for dinner we ate cereal My grandma had died I miss You and still cherish you Cried in front of my whole Family at the burial My daughters probably know every Verse from Rihanna But we don’t go to church so they Don’t know a verse out the Bible That mean I gotta teach ‘em Tell ‘em how Jesus was a king and a prophet You’ll find him if you seek him So, say a little prayer then Put one in the air my beef is your beef I told my brother we could share it I don’t see how a snake Can call himself a man Stab his own in the back then look ‘ his self in the mirror I guess we all sinners Heart colder than four winters That headband kush kept me Higher than four ceilings In my city it can never be personal All business And that four-pound'll twist you and Bend you like car fenders I got pain in my heart Cocaine in my thoughts Blatantly glorifying how I play With that fourth I was ashamed to earn a minimum wage I was taught That crime pays and a young age I was bought "I was charged with a seventy three Count indictment with rico enterprise Rico conspiracy, major drug crimes as Being a crime boss As being a godfather for which I Never was and I had Thirty two co-defendants i proceeded to Trail on both federal and State crimes after being Convicted and sentenced on both cases and as A result of being convicted and Sentenced on both cases to Five life terms and a hundred And thirty five years I Went straight to the law library In the federal prisons That I've been too trying to Win my freedom and Free myself from the madness I caused myself"
