[Chorus]
Staying affiliated
To make your papers
There no break in this life
Doing what it takes
And in the end you either make it or don't
A moments choice
The angel or devils voice is followed
Fast forward into the future where it got you?
[Verse 1]
Now when I was a little kid way before high school
I ain't aspired this way now I'm here getting high true
Ain't a trouble maker
But my sights stopped throughout my problems
Shit I ain't locked street life but some who on my block
Are terrorised
Threats are disguised as helping hands
With hellish plans failing friends
So I stay an independent man
Money spent from grams sold
Rolled up stacks in bands flowing makes a person think that they can
And they won't stop
Patrolling cops ain't solve a case with a badge and a mace
They get all up in your face
Little majority but you gotta see it realistically
I'm caring and real but they wanna label me vicious g
Can sit or flee
Try or be fried
Cause out here we just tryna survive
Life in times of bullshit
Stay away from the corner or be caught up
With drug dealers thugs up into the streets
It kills us
[Chorus X2]
Smoke screened from reality
Dope fiends are close
Overdosing on benches
I bet they families ain't knowing
Crack packs are dropped
Whackers are nagging for cash
It's sad that without the hit them bastards ain't bound to last
Pound of drugs in plastic
You down with the madness
Till you realise affiliation bound to go past it
Thats where you make decisions
And place you vision
Do I wanna risk this lifestyle for prison?
Shit its strange
Good mates will drop names to one another
Its hard to believe you could be setup by your brothers it happens
And jank bitches want the mounds full of cash
They'll take a mouth full of dick and move on to the next
Tracks I set facts on em
Street raps on em
To try and warn em
Start up in this lifestyle and be done
Its clear and stated
No need for initiation the gutter participation
No promise that you'll make it
When you stuck staying affiliated
