[Verse 1: Havoc]

Gun wars, money, hustle, the hoes

Niggas that don't get along for life, that's how it go

Momma's that don't take care of there kids, and let 'em roam

And you can see how he or she gon' be when they get grown

Your childhood, ideals crushed, youth press due

And stuffed that, basically just go fuck your ass up

You a volcano about to erupt, running the corrupt guns shiny

But them basketball trophies covered in dust

Them babies kids, the innocent that was lost in

Not them, circumstances, and had that hand forced

When I was little, yeah I dreamt of the Porshe, and of course

Ain't get it, admitted, them loose rocks, the only source

To that shit that rob and lease, preech the riddle was in reach

God, give me one last word, to kill her

Yo, you looking down in the hood, willing with that advice

But it's beat the other nigga, getting killed tonight


[Hook]

Some things'll never change


[Verse 2: Prodigy]

Make a nigga say, fuck birthday, and fuck Christmas

Fuck a wishlist, I'm writing out my shitlist

It got a lot of names, I got a lot of time

Blow out brains, see now you out your fucking mind

You get gauged, for a pound of the wicked nine

You playing games to the sound of them guns fire

Cereal and powdered milk, that was then then

A-1 Sauce sandwiches, we was children

Growing up broke, snatching chains and coats

Smoking weed with coke, selling fiends soap

Drunk sleeping on the bench, I couldn't make it upstairs

Woke up and seen the kids on they way to school, shit

Borrow money for my drug dealing friends

So I can buy beer, yeah that'll put me on my feet again

See, this real shit, you probably never been through

Ching-ching, now I got bling, but..


[Hook]


[Verse 3: Havoc]

Back to back, nigga, just getting knocked

Since swallowing the pack, guess what? His heart stopped

It all happens in the hood, it never seems to stop

And even the good ones, get drugs planted by them dirty cops


[Verse 4: Prodigy]

Back to back, niggas be getting shot

You would think that they would learn from they first time being popped

From the hospital, straight back to the block

Can't budge my thugs, this is what we love and


[Hook]
