(Get up) (get down)

It's so much pride in my mouth I can't chew it

If there's a short to take I've already been through it

At 13 I'm a grown man

Threw them cards on the table and dealt me a new hand

Dropped outta school and bought a gat

Now I'm lookin for a fool to spit this hellafied game at

No love for another

I'm fuckin sisters and daughters and old-ass grandmothers

Huh - jackin is the objective

I'm takin all, nigga, try and put that in perspective

Start hittin that glass, full of that fry

Down to make me a devil die

Now I'm lookin for a mate

I start datin a dopefiend and packin a .38

And hangin with the Jump Out Boyz, fool

Jumpin out on woods, gettin them hoes out our fuckin hood

Cause a nigga's from the 'Point see

Grew up in Acres Homes but that ain't where a nigga be

I guess I gotta choose

Cause I'm a grown man, huh, wearin little boy shoes

See, mama's been there for the rough ride

She gets much love, I got much time

To think about my life and all that stupid shit

Squabbin over shoes or burnin with a hard dick

I guess I'm gettin judged

God frownin on a nigga

Huh - that's what I figured

For every effect there's a cause

I got caught with my pants down wearin some dirty drawers

A nigga caught a case

Wrong black time, wrong black place

A pocked full of weed????

Who the fuck is that knockin on my fuckin do'?

(Damn ain't nothin cool about jail, man

Yo, ain't that Fesu over there?

Yo, what the fuck is you doin in here, man

What you do in here?)

No, no nicotine, no, no, not another dose

My brain is fried, hear the cries from a chrome I toast

Old school fiend, I'm stuck in a cell with a pipe

The fuck is smellin the ass on my nuts

And hittin amped squares cause I ain't a hoe-ass punk

Reminiscin on a case that made me a newcomer

Wastin crackers and shit and fuckin over the drama

I'm a crazy muthafucka with a uncle named Grady

Mother Latania, plus I was born a blue baby

Premeditated was the outcome of Fesu

I get a pitch in my drawers with my hands on a ouiji hollerin voodoo

I don't need a posse to squab, I'll go stag

Bitch, I got 22 ag'
