This is my story, oschino nigga

Fuckin early

[hook]

You've been down too long

You've been holdin on

Wake up dreamer

You've been down too long

[verse 1]

Muthafuckas say that i'm foolish

To sell crack, dropped out of school

And pushing that buick, wasn't fucking with music

And my pockets was low, my mind wasn't right

My shit was in shambles, life was a gamble

No friends, just my 38 snub with tape on the handle

No lights, just to eat we had to see with a candle

Through the trials and tribulations, i forged satan

No heat, had to sleep in the cold, i was running out of patience

Dad's dead, drugs had momma

Judge sentenced me with no comma

O bring drama like osama -- bin laden

In the kitchen chopping and bagging, the crumb

Coppin the wagon, this is real shit nigga not braggin

Where i'm from niggaz'll shoot at you

Not being in jail, something new to you

Can't die, who'll pay for your funeral?

Life is unusual

Went from nothing to wearing cartaire watches with the roman numerals

Nigga..

[hook]

[verse 2]

Walk with me y'all..

From prison to prison, jail to jail

Two years straight, a nigga just survived off mail

You know, niggaz hated me, bullets penetrated me

Cops infotrated me, fuck you niggaz say to me?

I'm not on tour, i got to smother the strip

Underdog, my face ain't graced the cover of shit

Been down too long like mandela with apartheid

Slave with this cotton, i was raised with this glock'n

Bout to start poppin like ozone to turbo

Niggaz can't hurt o, o shit blazin

O been in hospital beds, been in cages

O got bullet wounds, stab wounds, abrasions

Multiple contusions, the boy not losing

The boy don't complain, he just keep it moving

The boy can't quit, he came to far with the music

You think you like me nigga, i find that shit amusing

[hook]

[verse 3]

I'ma tell you why it was fucked up..

It was fucked up cause i had to hustle

No clown, but forced to juggle

Concrete jungle, skinny nigga no muscles

Quick to bust you like acne on faces of adolescence

Killed niggaz in front of niggaz just to send a message

Infa red circle ya knot, rubber bands circled in knots

20 inches circle the drops, begets circle the watch

Niggaz in my circle successful, we the roc

We won't stop until every building collapse

Or until we can't rap cause our lunges collapse

Mean time licking shots like they stamps

Throw oil like iraq since i was semen in the sack

Leaning in the ac(accura)

I been bout it cock sucker, you feel me?

Do not step to me, i'm awkward i shot lefty

And often my glock's testy

Put you on ice like gretzky

With no skates, just a suit and a casket

Family and friends, flowers and pastor

It's the roc you bastards

[hook]
