Our age, five-years-old
We were young bucks [bad word]  each others backs in the bathtub
Babysitter would send you to bed
But she would make me stay up
So she could give the young playa some viscious head uh
Early symptoms of
Time of nightway
Gigantic factor from the
Caukenis [bad word] tamer
Some had it all though
But less unfortunate
You had an alloy spoke Mongoose
And I had a Huffy
You owned a green machine
Three different lunch pails
I had a go-cart that I built from a bunch of used nails
We grew up in the church together [bad word] Sunday school
Now I heard you off into jackin [bad word] That ain't even cool
I used to be conned, racked, [bad word] around
And ripped bad
Barking up on the wrong tree
Talking [bad word] up in my past

Niggas have hateful thoughts
But they stop me from strivin
Suckas be shakin salt
All in his gameful so find
Some fools be gettin crossed
Victims of faultiness
Man all that drama [bad word] with
I swear you on some [bad word] Whether it's morphine or cocaine
Doja or doggfood
They had these marks for Tre and Max [bad word] off my high [bad word] You got ya P's mixed up
You ain't no pimp
You's a phoney
I spit for major mix
While you make tapes for ya homie
And then you work up tha nerve
To speak foul words
The pimp, a traitor, we instigators
That's why I wrote this verse
For every youngster with his mind on his meal
Young playa just chill
And take a look at what these fakers call real [bad word] 
I [bad word] no man
Cuz man will let you down every time
That's why I take it upon myself to thank god in every rhyme
Cuz I've seen better times
And I've seen worser days
When some of my so called friends
Wasn't around when I ain't have a verse to say
I quench my thirst today
With righteous thoughts of mind
Cuz righteous thought of mind will leave mark [bad word] niggas far behind
I seen it every time [bad word] and go
That's why I drop to my knees
And ask god to distinguish friend from foe
And what do you know
By the time [bad word] I can see the light
And then I'm thanking god once again for making everything all right
He made it tight and now I'm back up on the scene
Countin' greens
Straight from H-town to New Orleans
New human beings puttin it down like a mic or not
Replace the slot open up shop
We 'bout to make it hot
Stop
With ya devilish doins
Because ya devilish doins will only bring forth [bad word]  [bad word] 

Listen
I'm tryin to tell you my [bad word] to watch cha back
And [bad word] few
Cause ain't no [bad word] gon watch ya back for you like you
When someone is broke and down and out without no clout it's rough
At least you know who you can and who you cannot [bad word] See let me explain myself and clear up the point I'm tryin to make
Don't want no bustas around me
Playa hatin or actin fake
Don't ever be wantin nobody to get to close
I don't know if it's effects of
From the marijuana that got me more than trippin
See nowadays tha [bad word] be rollin' thick with hella loot
But if my loot was gone would I be all alone?
See, my partners who used to ride with me
And smoke that dank, and [bad word] with hoes
Would they be them same niggas if I didn't have [bad word] to roll?
Maybe they will, maybe they won't
Who is to say what a [bad word] will do
Who is to say if you help someone it's guaranteed that they'll help you
See what I'm sayin, listen to me and see if you can dig this
Smilin' faces replaces friends when people recieve ends
Now all of a sudden I'm actin funny because my moneys loaned
But there was no drama when I was livin' at my momma's home
But I'm not tellin' a [bad word] nothin you don't already know
Personal business, you got to watch who you 

I'm thinking about hard times
Freeing my mind
