Pieces (feat. 50 Cent)

Adrenaline pumpin', heart pacing racing, altercations, we lit

Blood drip stain the ground, boy get down, you hit

Same hood, different day, same whip, different clip

Lettin' off, somehow we end up in the same shit

And she don't fuck with niggas 'cause niggas is the reason

She got herself inside of this situation in the first place

Brooklyn Myrtle Ave. is her birth place

Facin' the city, quotin' Biggie on all her worst days

I used to take the train with her so none of these lames give her

The danger of livin' from where she was at was a plain picture

I used to paint pictures on how we could gain riches together

Instead of listen, she kinda just blew me off

Paid it no mind but it kind of just threw me off

I guess I figured everybody want riches and of course

But she just wanted a better family because her parents divorced

Early, her papa, he was taken by the force

Mother on crack and she never had time to bathe her

'Stead she gave her to her uncle, her brother who played the savior

'Til the day he started datin' this chick

That had put him up on mad pills and fuckin' up mad bills

She told me that one night he had got so fucked up

He fell asleep on his sofá, then woke up a new persona

And walked inside of her room and told her remove her clothing

And forcefully started chokin' her and tellin' her not to move

'Fore she could even finish, she broke out in tears and did it

Told me that for years, this night was a repetition, a feeling of fear

That she couldn't seem to exit or quit it, the feeling was there

Started talkin' lower as she told me come here

She said she had to make choices

So she got involved with niggas that make noise with them thangs, you feel

Ran off in her uncle's spot with the stainless steel

Put the burner to his face with this aim to kill

And said, she don't fuck with niggas 'cause niggas is the reason

She got herself inside of this situation in the first place

Figured that this intimidation was the worst case

She sat back and blew six in that boy face

Shot, him, dead

Said I want you on my head

No, I won't leave you lonely

You hold your head up high

I won't let go

'Cause I can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

He don't fuck with niggas 'cause niggas is the reason

He got himself inside of this situation in the first place

He had no father figure, he told me that his papa got shot in the face

And he can't wait to find out who his killer

He dedicated his life and now wants to know this

To find out who had a motive to kill his only father

He felt, it had to be somebody close

It couldn't be somebody far away that didn't know him, but take this part in

When he was younger, he used to roll with his cousin

A woman that used to show him the ropes

She used to tell him

Don't ever let no nigga or woman touch you

And if somebody do then all they would hear was the baka-baka-baka-baka

One day, he was on the block rollin'

Then, this crack fiend woman came to him, told him

That she was his mother, man, that shit had him frozen

He ain't want to believe her 'til she said, Boy, you got a birthmark above your scrotum

A scar up on your eye came from when you was four

When you fell off in the road

At that point, he looked at her face and he froze

She told him hold on, it's something she gotta show him

She says to him, I was gon' wait until you got older

But something was on my mind, was pressin', I had to show you

The whole block know me and the whole block know you

The whole block been knew this story but they ain't told you

His mom says to him, I hope you know your pop was a good man

But he just had some nonsense to him

Huh, well, one night, he's fucked up on the pills

I'm tryna tell him stop but everything I'm sayin' fails

You see, your lil' cousin in Brooklyn where we would leave ya, uh

I know she love you but the story's more deeper, uh

You see, your father used to be a creeper

He used to fuck her, used to touch her, used to beat her

Used to leave her so confused she would lace her own coke and reefer

Wait, I know you wanna interrupt but this get deeper

You've been livin' this mission, you tryna figure who's the nigga

Or the perpetrator of killin' your pops, nigga?

When your cousin is the reason he got shot, nigga

She put six shots in him out the Glock, nigga

His anger was dwellin' all on his mind

He didn't know what to do, he started grippin' his. 9

And uh, before he knew it, he aimed it up at his mom

And uh, huh he shot her right in the spine

He said, This is why my life has been full of lies

Don't nobody care for me, fuck it, what's the use in tryin'?

This Glock on my side, if I put it to my mind

I know that I'ma die but in Heaven, I'll be alive

Adrenaline pumpin', heart pacing racing, altercations, we lit

Blood drip stain the ground, boy get down, you hit

Same hood, different day, same whip, different clip

Lettin' off, somehow we end up in the same shit

Stunt, get jumped on, slashed or dumped on

Same block you pump on is the spot you get slumped on

Tory told me the story, it sounded a little crazy

A little Nas, a little 2Pac, Brenda's havin' a baby

How much pressure can you take 'fore you snap or break? Love turn to hate?

Fuck shit or fake, your next move may raise the murder rate

From average to savage, to semi-automatics

It's tragic how the static'll have us goin' at it

Said I want you on my head

No, I won't leave you lonely

You hold your head up high

I won't let go

'Cause I can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely
