To my man L.O.D.  Def Squad 
Hey yo  this goes out to my man 
Adrissa "Knockout" Beauwright and Anthony "Apple" Ames 
Word is bond 
I'm talking to my peoples all across the land 
Relate to the situation at hand 
I know everybody done been in some shit 
And ready to lay niggas to rest 
Just prove it but check it 
We done did it  seen it  done it  been through it 
Swigged it  guzzled it  copped it, smuggled it 
Rocked it, chopped it, locked it 
Now we got the whole neighborhood going through it 
Ay yo, money in the hood makes the game go good 
We only rock black jeans, black Timbs, and black hoods 
Karl Kani wasn't even out, dressing fly 
Rocking jams is what it was all about 
We had dreams of doing shit niggas never heard of 
Then damn my partner got murdered 

[Chorus:Repeat x12] 
(This goes out) To my mans 

Hey yo, close the blinds when you cooking 
My neighbors be looking 
My nerves is shooken so f*ck it I'm off to Brooklyn 
To my cousin with the devilish grin, devilish way of livin 
But f*ck it, he's still chillin 
Adrissa "Knockout" Beuwright druck forties all night 
While I did the mic something right 
Catching wreck or we was playing ball 
Getting busy in any little hole in the wall y'all 
Street soldiers with good heads on our shoulders 
Wanted to go to school to be doctors and lawyers 
Well I got caught up in the system with two ounces 
Had to do a little time in the big houses 
Before I even knew it I felt it 
Ay yo, yo your cousin Knockout got murdered, right? 
Damn, that was my man 

I'll keep holding on 
I'll keep holding on  

I'm on the cutting edge cause I'm young and I'm black 
Now I feel like I got a monkey on my back 
But you know I'm stronger than that of course 
I puff on El and stay mental just knockin' 'em off 
I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill 
Listen to YM Squad members 
Then we go for the kill 
As I smell the vapors linger 
I saw jealousy bring the anger in the chest with a banger 
I'm on a rage against the machin, what I mean 
I want to see my people 
With more than just first of the month cream 
The situation's always looking grim 
Pregnant teenagers with kids and can't take care of em 
For them niggas who did it, word to life 
I'm a get with ya 
Peace to my peoples, I'll never forget ya 

To my mans (Repeat x2) 
I'll keep holdin on (Repeat x4)
