I was a 70's baby
Raised in the 80's
I just turned 16
When shit got crazy

You couldn't imagine
The shit I been through
But there ain't no sense
In gambling
If you gamble to lose

So listen up
I ain’t trying to preach
I’m just telling it from my side
‘cause I’m in the streets
I done been there, done that,
Seen the whole neighborhood
Destroyed by the government
Being tipped off by one rat

Snitching, that’s a motherfucker,
Watch what you say
You don’t know no-motherfucking-body
You lame
Watch your so-called homeboys,
Keep to yourself
Stay away from fools
Getting caught that get out of jail
Don’t talk about your business,
Keep your thoughts in your head
In this game you got a paper trail,
Watch where you spend
Don’t write down names and numbers,
It’s a memory thing
Never shit where you sleep,
Keep the crib out of range
And plus you never let these fools
Know where you stay
‘Cause when the push turns to a shove,
They hitting your safe

True motherfuckin’ ghetto…
True motherfuckin’ game…
