[Chorus x2:]

Gangsters don't die, we just turn to legends

All we go through is hell, what the fuck is a heaven

We live fast and stall death long as possible

Get our cash in, put threats in the hospital

[Verse 1:]

Young P, When I was 13 I had dreams

To do what LL did and Run DMC

Dirty little fuck, learnin how to aim my P

Older niggaz in the hood used to try to dub me

Til pops gave me a knife, told me handle my things

And if not, when I came back, he would handle me

I put my first little bit of fair niggaz, I was

gassed

Started hangin with the others that was on the same

shit

Had my first taste of gunfire early in my years

Gang fights, we was jumpin niggaz we was just kids

Takin coats off of victims, watches off of peoples

wrists

Shootin in the air, party, turnin aimin for ya head

And that's young bloods and lue, youngs guns from back

then

Grew up to be raps most infamous click

Most thugs we grew up wit, proud that we did it

And naturally, we got others that wanna see us hit

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

Capital P, when I was 13 I had dreams

Now I'm all grown up and livin out my dreams

And my pops ain't here now that nigga deceased

And that bein said, how you gonna son me

Niggaz body J&J right there in Queens

Goes to show, there's no respect for the O.G.'s

Niggaz talkin real tough like I'm N-E-X-T

Like I give a fuck about shootin up ya peeps

Bout gettin hit, bout to show you niggaz how to bleed

Got guns in different states, you can't catch me

sleep

Put bullets in ya heart, bullets all up in the meat

That's right behind the forehead bone you pled Z's

When it's on and poppin, you be beggin I stop it

You be beggin for your life, 'fore that head shot stop

it

Rappers lovin my spit, fans lovin my shit

And then you got those, that wanna see me hit

[Chorus]
