[Verse 1: T-Mo Goodie]

No ego tripping, just growin' old

Ball up when I'm feelin' cold

'Cause pain upon my soul seems to be all I feel

Watchin' my family fall apart

Was all I never wanted to see

'Cause of our love for one another, I'd kill for my only brother

Even though he might be wrong, at times

I'm gon' do what I got to do to come through

Every scary moment – just brought us closer, which kept us down

Remember them days when Southwest Atlanta wasn't even 'round?

Somethin' 'bout the Reds who ratted

And say they actin' friends, relaxing

And steady stackin', that pistol packin' and trackin' his tire – it set it off!

[Verse 2: Cool Breeze]

I don't be sittin' in the trap, slangin' lil' peewees

Talkin' 'bout, "Damn, I'm 'bout to mess up my re-up money"

See, I used to wear my shoes until I couldn't no more

Now I hit the store, when the lace gets old

I wear Calhoun jeans, 'cause I don't like Calvin

I relate to my folks, to make you think this 'bout my third album

This supposed to be the times when the moon and the sky turn purple

So watch this full circle

Black wire touch red; red wire touch black

Me and Big Slate got this drop wit' some Gatorbacks

And I'm thinkin' 'bout how much I'll make

He get the rims, I get the system, and we leavin' the tapes

Know'msayin'?

Who gives a damn about catchin' a charge

It's been a while since I seen my boys...

[Chorus 1: Backbone]

One time for my partnas who got out today

Back on the grind, did that time, got that out the way

Okay, that's right, I just got to say

Two times for the crook who just got away

[Verse 3: Khujo Goodie]

It done got so quiet now, I can hear a rat piss on cotton

One apple spoiled the whole barrel rotten

What it mean when you see the sun and the moon

Shining at the same time? This God's way

You dug your own grave

The righteous path was laid, but you chose to go astray – aye

Out the woodshed

Wakin' up in a cold sweat, to the same ol' skit

Gen-o-cide – from the inside, look it'd appear

You lied, never killed nobody

Let's take it to the ol' school, just – no! You can't hang

Shakin' like a dog shittin' fish hooks, don't stare

Can't help the crooked look, it came with the face

I used to steal from my folk, but now I'm straight

Went through the neighborhood rat's pockets

"Boo-hoo!"

You missin' somethin' of value, we have you

Got you – jumpin'

Dumb bitch, you gets nothin'

[Verse 4: Backbone]

Nobody knows the trouble I done seen

My homeboy M.D. write me from the clink

24-7, Hell or Heaven, it ain't no tellin'

Will it be mo' sunshine for the two-time felon?

They gave him 10 – do 3; 7 year probation

Lord lead us not, unto no temptation

Ya'll know how it be

You make a monkey move, lay yourself on the street

You understand me?

They don't care nothin' 'bout ya in that cold system

Can't do nothin' but take what them folk givin'

I'm dead serious, them folk givin' away time

Just as sho' as the good Lord keep lettin' the sun shine

[Chorus 2: Backbone]

One time for them niggas who got out today

And my folks on Stokes, Rogers, Westwood, and Olympian Way

Uh-huh – and I just got to say

Two times for the crook who just got away

[Outro: sample]

"Uh-huh! – Believe that!..."

"Uh-huh! – Believe that!..."
